CHAPTER 13. ROUTING AND I/O 172
13.5 Resampling
Live's Master output can be routed into an individual audio track and recorded, or resampled.
Resampling can be a fun and useful tool, as it lets you create samples from what is currently
happening in a Live Set that can then be immediately integrated. It can be used to record
tracks that include processor-intensive devices, so as to delete the devices, or for quickly
previewing before rendering to disk.
The Resampling option in any audio track's Input Type chooser will route the Master
output to that track. You can then decide on what exactly you will be resampling and mute,
solo or otherwise adjust the tracks that are feeding the Master output. You will probably
want to use the Master Volume meter to make sure that your level is as high as possible
without clipping (indicated by red in the meter). Then you can arm the track and record into
any of its empty clip slots. Note that the recording track's own output will be suppressed
while resampling is taking place, and will not be included in the recording.
Samples created by resampling will be stored in with the current Set's Project folder, under
Samples/Recorded. Until the Set is saved, they remain at the location specied by the
Temporary Folder.
13.6 Inter nal Routings
Live's mixer and external routing devices allow for inter-track routings. These routings, albeit
potentially confusing, enable many valuable creative and technical options. Via the mixer,
inter-track routing can work two ways:
1. Track A is set up to send its output signal to Track B. This is possible because
every track that can receive an output signal of the appropriate type from Track
A shows up in its Output Type chooser.
2. Track B is set up to receive its input signal from Track A. This works because every
track that delivers a signal of the appropriate type appears in Track B's Input Type
chooser.
