Track freeze automatic file rename

Post by dblondin » Fri May 09, 2008 10:06 pm

Is there a way to prevent Ableton from renaming my files after track freeze? I'm trying to use Live as an editor but it's a pain when it keeps renaming all my files.

Thanks,
Darren

what do you wish that it would name the file?

it is creating a new file for the freeze, in <current poject>/Samples/Processed/Freeze (or close to that path, not looking at it atm)

This is surely is not, and never was, about renaming of files but about the renaming of clips. Right?

Did anyone even make a suggestion for this at any point? Just writing in the forums will not change anything.

Just a menu-entry to turn it off would be enough...

yes. This is ridiculous. I have even tried to rename clips before and after freezing and nothing helps. The samples just get an idiotic random name, so there is no way to know, if I am sampling multiple notes or velocities, which is which. Maschine names the sample by the name of the group, instrument and the clip name, so I can make a sample at 16 velocities and know which is which by naming the clip for each one. It is ridiculous I made massive clip setups for resampling instruments and everything is drag and drop, but the lack of a coherent sample naming system absolutely makes Ableton USELESS for this.
