Extracting Project data from Ableton Live 10

[GFranksTX]

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to Ableton Live 10 and have been trying to find a way to extract detailed information about a given project? Basic stuff like tempo, tracks used, etc. I'm needing this to keep a project notebook on each project. Right now, I find myself taking screen shots and pasting them into Word documents.

Hopefully there's an automated way of capturing this information as what I'm doing now isn't very elegant.

Thanks,
Gary

Maybe this helps, maybe I misunderstood you......

Thanks for responding.

That link is extremely helpful but I was actually looking for something that would gather all project the information automatically and populate the file with project data. Meta data if you like.

Thanks,
Gary

U'll have to do it by hand, no such tool exists that I know of.

ALS (.als) are zipped XML files, ou can unzip them with 7-zip then read the uncompressed file with any text editor (or XML editor).

But it is not automated, of course.

There is some stuff in github if you search "ableton project", but seems nothing actually finished.

On Mac, you can do:

Code: Select all

gzip -cd MySet.als > MySet.als.xml
