A ALS file is a project file saved by Ableton Live, a digital audio workstation. It contains audio tracks, midi clips, a mixer, and settings for a Ableton Live project. ALS files store samples, metal loops, drum kits, sound effects, and recorded sounds used to create music.
Structure of an ALS File
A ALS file contains various components which enable the user to compose a complete music track. It stores audio clips in multiple pattern sections for arranging high-level ideas, midi clips like Pads, Notes and Automation for controlling sound levels and parameters. Multiple type of automation curves can be edited with the help of events added to the automation clip. Additionally the file contains tempo variations and time signature changes. Track warping is also supported, allowing live instruments to follow the beat or changing tempo.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ALS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ALS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ALS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ALS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ALS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ALS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ALS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ALS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ALS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ALS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
