Ableton's Analysis Files

Does anyone know if Ableton's Analysis Files are worth using with a fast computer, i understand with a slow machine. but is there any need to make file handling harder for your self in your operating system with each sample folder having an .asd file for every audio sample if your machine is quick?

Also does anyone know how much slower % a given machine will load a project without these files?

Not exported any audio since Live 7 but sure you can choose to "not create an analyisis file"

The reason it asks if you want to create an analysis file is if you are planning on taking that audio file you just exported and loading it back into a live set. If you're just laying it off onto a CD or putting it on your MySpace there really is no need for it.

I don't think it really has anything to do with having a fast computer.
Because Live creates an asd file for ANY audio sample coming into a set no matter how fast your computer is

Thanks, so in short that option is only for exporting audio and if i did want to import the exported file it would create an .asd anyway.

Cool that clears it up!
