I've been thinking about this also.

I reckon Collect All is the only way to ensure that samples are kept with each Live set. You can alter which types of samples get saved when you do a Collect All too.

The only trouble is the extra hard-drive space it requires and having to go through each set you'ved saved (unless there is a speedy way?).

I usually collect all and save after a while. I bounce back and forth between my studio Computer my laptop and I also bounce stuff back and forth with the other half of my band. it is just more convienent.

i use collect all once a track begins to take shape. As i use tan external HDD which gets a dump of files every so often it can be pretty annoying when going back to it to open an old live file which you then have to find all the samples. I have loads of files which are unusable because the samples cant be found.

its definately worth the extra space i would say.

Kinda depends on how much disc space you have, & how large the sound files you are working with are.

I always do a collect all. It does mean you use more disc space as duplication samples, but disc space is cheap and it gives you massive portability benefits.
