Ableton Forum

I was wondering if there's a way to re-label my favorite samples with their key signature and tempo?

For example 110-Triumph-1.aif doesn't tell me the sample's key or tempo. When I want to put together spontaneous live sets as I go, I'm not sure what melodies this will fit with since there's no info in the name.

If I could re-label the sample, then I could put the information in myself. I'm surprised that the samples don't have this info already.

You can't rename Factory samples but you can, rename it and then either consolidate or crop (even if you don't change its lenght) it.
This will create a duplicate of the sample that will go into your User Library > Samples > Processed> Consolidate/Crop. You can move it elsewhere if you want.

With the new Ableton release which uses metadata to provide additional info, it seems that metadata could be added to the samples to specify BPM and Key. I hope Ableton will consider adding this.
