15.7 Setting up File Types
The following Preferences from the Record/Warp/Launch tab are relevant to the sample les
that are created by recording:
 The sample le type you would like Live to create can be chosen from the File Type
chooser in the Record/Warp/Launch Preferences.
 The bit depth of the sample le you will create by recording can be chosen from the
Bit Depth chooser in the Record/Warp/Launch Preferences.
You can save time by setting up reasonable defaults for the clips you are recording in the
Record/Warp/Launch Preferences tab. In particular, it is smart to indicate the rough category
of sound to be recorded by choosing the appropriate default Warp Mode. If you decide
later on a different song tempo, the program will automatically maintain good sound quality,
usually without further adjustment.
15.8 Where are the Recorded Samples?
Recorded samples are stored with the current Set's Project folder, under Samples/Recorded.
Until the Set is saved, it remains at the location specied by the Temporary Folder preference
which is found in the Preferences' File/Folder tab. To make sure Live will not run out of disk
space while recording into a new Set, please make sure the Temporary Folder is on a drive/
partition with sufcient free space.
15.9 Using Remote Control for Recording
Using Key Map Mode and MIDI Map Mode, you can operate Live's recording functions
without using the mouse.
You can map the Control Bar's Record and transport controls as well as the track Arm buttons.
For recording into the Session slots, you can map the individual slots as well as the relative
navigation controls to initiate recording remotely; for instance:
