Saving only specific clips/audio files for a set?

Post by jmouse » Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:13 am

Hi Abes.
Using common template that works well with my midi controllers, I build different sets of up to 150 scenes.
I chop and swap clips from other sets to create, say, down tempo or up tempo sets.
So when I "collect all and save" How do I ensure that I'm saving only the specific audio files used in that set. The aim is to not have to load extra files that won't be used.
I guess I should know this.. gettin' old
Cheers
jm

Delete the ones you don't use, that's the only way.

Hi Madlab
Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking that might be the case after I posted.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Cheers

Then you have to go to the file manager and choose "delete unused samples" or something of the kind (my Live version is french).

Hi Madlab
Sounds like too much mucking about. Anyway, I've got a fast computer with an ssd so everything loads pretty quickly.

Save the Live Set under a new name to a new location, this creates a new Project folder. Then Collect All And Save.

This will save only the audio files that are actually used in the Set to the Samples folder in the new Project folder.
