    Default transferring ableton set form one comp to another comp

    okay i have 2 macbooks. one macpro (i run traktor on) and one white mac that i run ableton on.

    i want to get my ableton set from my macpro.. onto my macbook.

    THERE MUST be a way to transfer the set AND the files with it.. over to my macbook with out having to redue EVERYTHING. ...

    this is a set, with over 100 vocal samples.. over 40 different bpm drum beats. all looped, and all set to one shot samples etc....

    omg guys. HOW can i transfer this over...????!??!^(#*&%???

    i run the s4 with a turn table into it. and i loovvvve the 4 deck mixing. love it.
    makes going from one song to another so awesome and perfect live.

    BUT i also have a rane-ttm57SL.. and i want to run my other macbook thru that playing ableton.

    so i'll have the s4 going into an input and i'll have the ableton going into an input.

    BUT HOW CAN I TRANSFER MY SET FROM MY MACPRO (THAT TOOK SOOOOOO LONG TO MAKE) OVER TO MY MACBOOK?????!?????/

    It might compress the data...never done it but its pretty common with large exports like that, or you don't have all your files in the correct location.

    okay interesting.. ableton says it can't find one file when i open this set.

    but i disregard that. don't need that one. it's just one track..

    what would the correct location be?
