my library path is set in the preferences, but for some very odd reason all my "live sets" get saved in one of my custom folders, not the Sets folder. I dont want to screw anything else up. Should I rename the custom folder to sets and put the other files in the old sets folder, then rename it?
Helllp

Re: Why are my Live Sets being misplaced
two things:
-you can save your projects anywhere. When saving a set the first time Live will ask you where you want to save it. Just choose an appropriate folder on your harddrive
-it's actaully better to NOT save them within the library. The library is a huge "project". If you save your projects out of the library, then eah project will be a nice folder, copntaining all sets belonging to that project, and - more important - all samples and recordings that you have generated during the project. If you save your sets within the library, then everything will be within the library. and "everything" contains every wrong take, every freeze, every bloody file you mistakenly produced. and on the long run you don't want that stuff in your library.

Yes, at first, I saved everything in the librairy, and it has been a real pain. Just choose a folder. Personnaly I named it "Livex.x sets" and create a new folder for each new live version, to avoid compatibility problems.
