    Default Moving Ableton Library to New Drive?

    Buying a newer external drive today so I can consolidate a few Ableton folders onto one drive for performance & traveling production (fly to Japan tomorrow!!!).

    I don't want to have to go back through and remap and tweak EVERY single audio file and create new .als counterparts for each one (3800 tracks in my main DJ library alone).

    Can I just copy my directory tree from one drive to another (I have the .als files in the same directory as the source audio files) and it should all be good?

    Okay, should have been clearer with nomeclature - not the actual ableton library but the library of files that I use with Ableton.

    Managed okay by just cloning the drives and then deleting some other stuff off the clone.
