Where does Ableton store the I/O labels I enter?

Howdy, I've got a lot of custom labelled mono ins/outs stereo ins/outs for two different large IO interfaces and thought would be a good idea to back up all the labelling and also to transfer to a second machine . Looking through everywhere can't find where they are stored - are they in a preference file, or database somewhere? any idea how I can extract them? thanks in advance

They are stored in the file Preferences.cfg.
You cannot edit this file with a simple text editor.
If you open it, though, and search for ' AudioChannelNames', you'll find the settings.
Copying the text and pasting it into another file or text editor can remove some of the non-alphanumeric characters.
This page about resetting Live will tell you exactly where to find the file.
