Hi Srry me again , I have a problem with collect al and save. Cause it is saving alright but it isn't collecting anything or if it is where can I find it ? I just see my project but without any folder where the used samples are supposed to be. What Am I doing wrong ?

Hi Dubhole,

could it be you save your project inside another project folder, or inside of the Library folder? Please try to create a new project folder by saving the Liveset to a completely different location on your harddrive with the "Save As..." function. Does collect all and save work then?

Hi there,

i suggest to create a folder with the name "LiveSets" on your desktop. Use this folder to store all your Sets/Project-folders to.

"Project folders" have the white ableton icon.

So please try this:

-load your set
-save your set to e.g. the desktop (into the LiveSets folder) by using "save live set as"
-use the "collect all and save" function to include all samples into the "Project folder"
-do this with each set!

If this doesn't work, send an email to [email protected].

Best,

Thanx very much. By saving my project to a different location I managed to self contain the set !

cheers guys !

I´m still wondering why this cant be done in the excisting project folder.

All my new projects are always saved in a new folder from the start.
Does this mean that I need to reorganize everything?

If I collect and save the project in the excisting folder the project is not self contained.
If I create a ned folder on the desktop and save and collect the project is self contained.
This confuses me...

Back in the days it was called "Self contained Project", suddenly it was "Collect and save". What is the major difference?

Thanks in advance
