Hi,

I use ".als packs" for DJing; in session view, I drag in .als files which have different references to a particular song with different cue points, etc. I often need to make small changes to the songs - change warp markers or volume etc. However, I can not figure out how to easily save these changes. If click the "save" button on the clips, changes are made to the original wav file, but when I drag in the .als file again the changes are not reflected. The only way I can figure out how to do this is to drag the group of clips into the browser again, type in a (rather long) name for the new .als file, then delete the original .als file. Since I am constantly making changes to massive numbers of tracks, this is quite inconvenient. Is there an easier way to save changes to .als files for DJing purposes?

Thanks

I don't know of a quicker concept, but you can shave some time off the process you're already using by copying the name of the .als, then dragging it into the file browser and pasting in the name. It will overwrite the old file.

Thanks for the tip!
