I recently made the switch from Logic to Live. So far so good and I'm having a lot of fun!
I have a couple quick questions:
- When I export a track the default location Live gives me isn't the folder where the set is saved. This seems unusual in most applications on the Mac, not just DAW. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere? I work on about 20 cues per day so it's something that slows me down jumping between sets throughout the day.
- Is there an equivalent to Bounce In Place yet? I've read online there isn't but not that recently. BIP is very quick and easy to do in Logic and something I do in most projects.
Thanks!
Jam.

Re: Export location
Live should use the last location selected for export which will not be your project folder unless that is the last location you selected. This is perfectly normal/valid because not everyone saves a render to the project foldfer, I have a folder that I save all my renders to separate from projects so I can quickly upload or transfer without picking through projects.JamJuice wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:33 pm- When I export a track the default location Live gives me isn't the folder where the set is saved.

As in render the track to audio and leave in place?
- Freeze?
Will render a track to audio and use that in place of the actual synths/effects but leave them in place so you can easily unfreeze to make edits if needed.
Re: Export location
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Logic has freeze too but bounce in place is different unfortunately. I often bounce part of a track, leaving the original still active, and then manipulate that one smaller section. Super basic and nothing fancy. I'll keep looking.

Re: Export location
This should be a INDIVIDUAL choice, and not a oneway option. How would you feel with only the option to render in project folders? Not so good. So please fix this as an export option. Could be easy, just a tic box if you want to save in the latest export folder or project based.jestermgee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 4:00 amLive should use the last location selected for export which will not be your project folder unless that is the last location you selected.
