Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is AbleCommand part of Ableton Live?
No. AbleCommand is an independent Sonatium product for producers who manage large Ableton Live project libraries. Ableton and Ableton Live are trademarks of Ableton AG; AbleCommand is unaffiliated.
Does it upload my projects anywhere?
AbleCommand is a local desktop application. Project information is indexed locally in SQLite on your own machine.
What's the difference between AbleCommand and AudioBlitz?
AudioBlitz teaches digital audio workstation skills and workflow. AbleCommand is a separate, dedicated desktop tool for indexing and maintaining Ableton project libraries. They are related but distinct Sonatium products.
Is the health-report and safe-copy functionality available now?
Some of it is planned or experimental rather than shipped today. The current, planned and experimental sections on this page are kept separate and up to date so it's clear what you can rely on now.
