You can use this to pre-configure:. These Sets will then function as templates: they will load with the configuration you saved, but with the name Untitled. To view a list of the files referenced by the current Live Set, choose the Manage Files command from the File menu, click the Manage Set button, and then click the View Files button.
Live will display one line for each file used by the Live Set. To list all clips or instruments in the Live Set where the file is actually used, click the triangle to expand the line.
Here is what you can do:. A Live Project is a folder containing Live-related files that belong together. Consider, for example, work on a piece of music: You start out with an empty Live Set; you record audio and thereby create new sample files; you drag in samples from collections; you save different versions of the Live Set along the way so that you can go back and compare. When you save a Live Set under a new name or in a new folder location, Live will create a new project folder and store the Live Set there — unless you are saving the Live Set into an existing Live Project.
We have recorded some audio into a new Live Set. The Desktop is available in the browser because we have previously added it as a user folder. Here is the result as displayed by the Live browser:.
Next, we record another track into our Project. We save the modified version of the Live Set under a new name so that we do not lose the previous version. As this has nothing to do with our tango dabblings, we decide to save it outside the Tango Project folder, say on the Desktop. Live creates a new project folder named Samba Project next to Tango Project.
So far we have seen how to create Live Projects and save versions of Live Sets into them. How do we open a Project? Simply by opening any of its contained Live Sets. Note that the new project folder has no Samples folder yet. You can prevent this by collecting external files see 5. A note for users of older Live versions : Live does not allow overwriting Live Sets that were created by older major versions to prevent compatibility problems. Doing this will insure that the newly saved Live Sets reside in project folders.
By default, new instrument and effect presets are stored in your current Project. At times however, it may make more sense to save a preset to another folder or to your User Library, so that you can access them from other Projects. You can drag a preset between folders after saving it see When saving presets that contain samples to a new location, Live may copy the samples depending on the settings in the Collect Files on Export chooser in the Library Preferences.
You can then type in a new name for the device or confirm the one suggested by Live with Enter. Click on the Status Bar message to access these. This is actually a shortcut for choosing the Manage Files command from the File menu, clicking the Manage Set button, and then clicking the Locate button found in the Missing Files section.
The File Manager will present you with a list of the missing files and associated controls. To manually fix a broken file reference, locate the missing file in the browser, drag it over to the File Manager and drop it on the respective line in the list of missing files.
Note that Live will not care if the file you offer is really the file that was missing. Live offers a convenient automatic search function for repairing file references. To reveal detailed options for guiding the automatic search function, click the neighboring triangular-shaped button. For each missing file, the automatic search function may find any number of candidates. To prevent a Live Set from containing broken file references, Live provides the option of collecting i.
This is accomplished via the File Manager:. Separated by location other Projects, the User Library, installed by factory Packs, and elsewhere — sample collections from external drives, for example , the File Manager provides:. Note that this can cause a lot of copying, especially if your Live Set uses large multisample collections! When you save Live Clips, device presets or tracks by dragging them into the Browser, Live manages the copying of associated files based on the selection made in the Collect Files on Export chooser in the Library Preferences.
This chooser provides the following options:. Instead of having to deal with problems while you are in a creative mode, you might prefer putting aside some dedicated housekeeping time to solve all the problems in one go. Remember to click the Collect and Save button at the bottom of the File Manager when you are finished. Otherwise your changes will be discarded. You can then review them and decide to delete them individually or collectively.
If not, the file is regarded as unused — even if other Projects or programs still use it. Clicking the Show button makes the browser list the unused files; there, you can preview samples see 5. Note you can also find the unused files from the Library: choose the Manage Files command from the File menu, then click the Manage Library button, and then see the Unused Files section.
Live inspects each Project individually and labels a file unused even if another Projects in the same folder does use that file.
To prevent losses, you may want to first collect the files into their respective Projects and then purge the Projects of unused files. Creating a new Pack from a Project does not affect the Project.
If you want the Project deleted, you can delete it using the browser. Live employs lossless compression techniques to minimize the file size of Packs. Depending on the audio materials in a Project, this saves up to 50 percent in file size.
To unpack a Pack i. A Project is automatically created whenever you save a Live Set, except when you save it into a preexisting Project.
You can then use the File Management tools, collect any referenced samples, etc. This will usually be the Project that was created when you saved the first version of the Live Set. If a Project contains multiple Live Sets it will only collect one copy of any samples used by the various versions, which can save disk space and help with organization. You can save Live Sets anywhere you want, but saving to pre-existing Project folders can cause problems, and should be reserved for special cases.
The Browser. The Edit Button in the Browser. Editing Shown and Hidden Collections in the Browser. The Done Button in the Browser. Categories The Categories labels show all items of a given type, regardless of where they are in your library.
The Categories section is organized as follows: Sounds — all of your Instrument Racks see Chapter 20 and instrument presets, organized by the type of sound they make rather than by their devices. Drums — all of your drum presets.
This includes full drum kits, which are available as Drum Racks, as well as single drum hits, which are delivered as Instrument Racks. Clips — all of your Live Clips. Samples — all of your raw audio samples. Grooves — all of your Grooves see Chapter Templates — all of your template Live Sets see 5. It shows search results for every section of the browser in a single list.
Places The Places labels show the contents of folders on your hard drives. Presets, samples, and Live Clips installed by Packs will also appear in the appropriate Categories labels. Or you can choose a specific individual track or return track.
You can easily find the one you want since the track numbers and names are listed. All options will render the post-fader signals including insert effects. Live handles everything in stereo. This option is useful if you want mono files to be used in a different audio software or want to include mono files in your Live Set to keep it small. Turn on Normalize if you want the file to be rendered with maximum volume keep it turned off if the track is to be mastered. For mastering choose the 'sample rate you had used throughout your production or the mastering studio asked for.
The first two are most commonly used if the audio is to be worked on further. Flac isn't technically a uncompressed format, but the compression is lossless, so better than MP3. For mastering choose the bit depth you had used in your Live Set or the mastering studio asked for. Dither : Dithering introduces small noise, but helps avoid artefacts when reducing the bit depth. Live handles audio internally in bit. Dithering should only be done at the end when you won't export the file again.
This is generally after mastering the track or when you want to burn it on CD. If you choose to not export in bit and want to keep working with the audio file, Triangular is the safest mode.
Rectangular adds less noise, but can add artefacts once the audio file is processed further. The 3 POW-r options introduce even less noise pushed above the audible range. These should never be used when processing audio further. This will create an MP3 at kbps. If you'd like to upload the bounced file to Soundcloud, then turn on 'Upload Audio to Soundcloud'.

Starting from Ableton Live 10 , MP3 files can be directly exported without any audio format converter required. If the location of original audio clips used in the project does not change, Ableton Live will load and recover the last state you were editing and other settings, based on the instructions and references of the ALS file.
On the new pop-up window, you're able to convert audio to mono , change sample rate , normalize audio and customize other settings. When everything is ready, click " Export " button to rename your MP3 and choose the location.
