Hi,
if i want to save a project under a new destination and use the "collect data and save" the information (and or the *.wav file) loop shifter needs to work properly gets lost....
if i open the porject again, loop shifter shows up the waveform of my former sample but doesn´t play it... if reimport the needed loop shifter track (and so using the old sample position) it will play the track as wished.
BUT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO POSSEBILITY TO DRAG SAMPLES DIRECTLY FROM LIVE INTO LOOP SHIFTER I USED MY DESKTOP AS "TRANSFER STATION" WHICH IS PRETTY UGLY AS IT OWN. NOW I HAVE A FEW SAMPLES ON MY DESKTOP AND CANT CHANGE THEIR DISC DIRECTORY (which is even more ugly).
What can i do? Or better, when will Ableton changes this?
Issues with "collect and save" using loop shifter
Re: Issues with "collect and save" using loop shifter
nice, that you agree with me, that "Collect all and save" simply does what it says; it collects all referenced files and saves them into the current project."
That´s what i would expect Live to do for me. It does this with the Sample used in loop shifter as well. BUT - and that is the real problem - after opening this live set, loop shifter has lost all it´s programmed information AND the sample.
That is a BUG in my opinion.
And here comes my problem: because "collect all and save" does not work with loop shifter,i cant delete the sample on my desktop now, which i created there as workaround, because i am not able to drop samples from live into loop shifter. If i could do this, there would be no problem now... But anyway, just knowing this is no help. What if i want to send this live set to someone else ? Do i have to send him my computer, because he needs my desktop now? not verry practical.
is it a live or max problem? who cares? it´s a ableton live problem with one of the "exclusive new" max instruments... Therefore, should i post this message into two sub-forums?! I dont think so...
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Is there some one else, with a pracitcal advices out there for me? thanks.

Re: Issues with "collect and save" using loop shifter
okay, i see i have to dive deeper into max...
but why does it work when i re-open the original live set (which is not yet "collect all and save"-ed and uses the "desktop" sample"? ?? All loop shifter settings are there...
And there comes another question into my mind: why did ableton set some dials in the"not controll and saveable" mode you described? There must be a reason why they didn´t made a dials "save and controable"... Now i have the feeling its more easier to open both live sets and "rebulid" the preset i made by hand...Because i really dont want to spend time using max, i want to use live- and make music
! but thanks for you help!
Any HQ Opinions about this?
thx.

Re: Issues with "collect and save" using loop shifter
i have the same issue. Collect & Save leads to some serious issue when using loopshifter.
For me the live set just crashes. Plus nearly all controls from loopshifter are vanish when i reopen the set.
