Live 6's project management features are fantastic!

I know that this is not as sexy as racks inside of racks inside of racks.....,

but this along with the bookmarks feature were much needed. Live's project management is now better than Logic 7's!!

The interface to look for files and create projects is superb.

Good work Abeltonians

siddhu, can you tell me more? i am currently re-organizing my workflow and am wondering in what direction live6 has gone.

yes more please about this

I'll post some screenshots and info shortly when I take a break!

Details please

Well, each set now belongs to a project (a folder), and you have folders for frozen files, samples etc on a per project basis.

If you save a set inside the project folder of another, it's added to that project, so to speak.

If you like doing incremental saved sets each time you make a major change to a track (like flattening something, or just for go-back-and-see-where-this-all-began purposes), this is a godsend.

Live can also see which sounds are used in a project and where they are and it lets you move files that are outside a project fodler inside it, for backup purposes and such. This doubles as an easy way to delete stuff that's not used in any set of a project.

At least, that's what I've done with it. It might do more... it's a great feature for me, as I tend to flatten a lot.

So you can go back to an earlier save incase you don't like what you have done to a song after you have closed Live?

Awesome, I could definately use that feature.
