merging different tracks in different projects into one proj
Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2007 8:44 am
Hi,
I use Live as a vst host to play many instruments (layers/splits) with my keyboard. I've done presets for some songs and saved them as projects, so each song (or groups of 2-3) has it's project.
Now if I have to play those songs live I can't wait to load every project each time... and it would be stupid even because some midi tracks (some instruments) are the same between projects (songs), like the piano that is in every patch and is huge to load everytime.
What I would like to do is merge these single projects in one big project, so that I could load all songs' patches (=midi tracks) once before the show.
Or if it is possible to load instruments by the Live's browser... I saw that I can expand the .als tree as a folder, but I can't import single tracks by drag&drop for example, I can only view the content...
I tried this one, but could be a bug: when I drag&drop an entire .als from the browser view inside Live (I thought it would have merged) I don't see anything beside the mouse cursor but it seems to load something in memory: I made the test several times but no new tracks appear in the set even if 400-500mb loads up in RAM. Some seconds later Live frees some ram.
Tried on versions 6.0.3 and 6.0.5
Could you help me?
Many thanks!
Andrea
