default session

Post by jeebustrain » Mon Nov 21, 2005 10:29 pm

this is probably a pretty dumb question, but I'm using Live 4 (windows XP) and sometime in the past (when I was learning how to use Live), I somehow overwrote the default "blank" live session that loads whenever you launch Live for the first time. It loads with a couple samples and some basic things already configured. I can easily load one of my regular sessions just by clicking on it, but it always prompts me and asks me if I want to save my changes to that one that pops up automatically (even if I make no changes). Is there a way to reset it to where there is nothing that is loaded when I first launch Live?

You can make a startup set just delete everything you don't want (You can't delete the last track though but why would you?)
And then in preferences find the "save as template" button and press it.

Hope that helps.

PS. You really need to read the manual if you want to get the most out of this program. :D

also u can just find the file u want to open, and double click that file, then Live will open directly to that. (as with anytihng in XP)
my favorites at the moment: MASSIVE. FM8. LIVE 6. Bome's Pro. KORE.
