Thought Id start a thread for useful tricks and tips that are perhaps not obvious at first glance.

- To use an M4L device thats in Ableton, just open Ableton, and Drag and drop from Abletons browser straight into Max.

- If you use it alot, then create a collection (e.g. called Ableton) in the Max 7 file browser, and then drag it into that new collection. now it will also show under Max4Live devices, and also the plugin icon.

(id guess this probably also works with au/vst, but not tried as mine are all in the system location)

- from @kirky, M4L devices in Max7 (mac) Right click on the Max 7 application – Show package Contents – Resources – C74 – packages – Max for Live -patchers. You can then drop this directory into Ableton 'places' so you can access from Ableton Live.
