Your sessions deserve
better than a folder
of “final_v2_REAL.als”

SetCrate scans your Ableton library, reads .als files to extract BPM, key, and plugins, catches missing samples before you open the DAW — and syncs everything to your phone.

[ 03 — PILLARS ]
01
Built for producers
Designed around how music makers actually work — projects, sessions, bounces, and the creative chaos in between.
02
Automatic metadata
Reads your .als files to extract BPM, key, plugins, and sample paths. No manual tagging required.
03
Fast and local
Your library stays on your machine. SQLite-powered search that's instant, private, and works offline.
[ 04 — SIGNAL CHAIN ] · sound familiar?

Every producer’s daily
routing nightmare.

01
Lost in folders
You've got 47 folders named "beats," 3 versions of the same track, and no idea which one had that synth patch you loved.
02
?
No context
You open a .als file from 3 months ago and have zero memory of what you were going for, what's done, or what needs fixing.
03
Broken sessions, no warning
You double-click a project and Ableton opens to a sea of missing samples and red plugin slots. You had no idea until it was too late.
04
Ideas slip away
You had a breakthrough at 2am, didn't write it down, and now you're staring at the session trying to remember what you planned to do next.
[ 05 — MODULES ]

[ 10 — FAQ ]

Questions, answered.

Is there a free trial?
Yes. SetCrate is fully functional for 14 days, including mobile sync. No credit card required. After the trial, purchase a desktop license to keep using it.
Does SetCrate read my .als files?
Yes — SetCrate decompresses and parses your Ableton project files to extract metadata like BPM, key, and which plugins you used. This happens locally on your machine. SetCrate never modifies your .als files, never uploads them anywhere, and never changes your project folders. It’s read-only, and everything stays on your computer.
What is missing sample detection?
When SetCrate scans your library, it checks every sample path referenced in your .als files against your file system. If a sample has moved, been deleted, or lives on a drive that isn’t connected, SetCrate flags it with a warning badge in your library — before you open the project in Ableton. No more surprise broken sessions.
What happens to my data after the trial ends?
Your projects, notes, and version history are saved locally. Nothing is deleted. Once you activate a license, everything is right where you left it.
Does SetCrate work with Ableton Live Lite / Intro / Standard / Suite?
Yes. SetCrate works with any edition of Ableton Live that saves .als files.
Is macOS supported?
Yes! SetCrate runs natively on macOS (Apple Silicon). Download it from the same trial — works exactly like the Windows version.
Do I need the mobile sync subscription?
No. The desktop app is fully functional on its own. Mobile sync is an optional add-on if you want to access your project notes and session logs from your phone.
Can I activate my license on multiple computers?
Yes. Each desktop license can be activated on up to 3 machines (e.g., studio desktop, laptop, backup).
What if I want a refund?
If SetCrate isn't right for you, reach out to support@setcrate.app within 14 days of purchase and we'll sort it out.

Take control of
your sessions.
