Hello everyone,

I have been experiencing difficulty with the amount of audio and midi information beeing saved along with the project. There seems too be a HUGE amount of frozen audio clips and things being saved. Meaning: every time I freeze, then unfreeze - then freeze again (2 freeze-audio clips show up in the projects folder). Is this a preference or is this how live operates?

When I go to burn the project information to bring to a studio, there is sooooo much information to burn!!!!

What can I do to better manage my tracks so there is no wasted space on the hard-drive???

Thank a lot,

From the browser you can manage the project.

In the pane at right, you can view the unused samples.

Select them all and delete them unless they are used for some other purpose. For old freezes, they should not be...

There is a definite bug in regards to project management and freeze files.

Live does not want to get rid of freeze files even if they are no longer used.

Live will not let you delete them even when they are unused/unreferneced in the Live set.

hmm I'll have to try that. worst case you could delete them with Live not running

thanks for responding

hopefully your advice helps


It's crazzzzzy how many samples are being saved with the project that aren't used.....


Please keep me updated if anyone figures out anything else as well
