CHAPTER 5. MANAGING FILES AND SETS 44
The analysis le's name is the same as that of the associated sample, with an added .asd
extension. Live puts this analysis le in the same folder as the sample.
Samples that have an .asd le are displayed like this in the Browser.
Samples without an .asd le look like this.
The analysis les themselves do not appear in Live's Browsers.
Note that you can suppress the creation of .asd les by turning off the Create Analysis Files
option in the File/Folder Preferences. All data (except for the default clip settings) can be
recreated by Live if the .asd le is missing, however this will take some time for longer
samples.
5.2.3 File Pre-Analysis
To avoid waiting for longer samples to be analyzed the rst time they are imported into Live,
you may want to pre-analyze them.
To pre-analyze all the les contained in any folder in the Browser, use the (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context menu's Analyze Audio command. This process can also be cancelled via the
context menu.
5.2.4 Exporting Audio and Video
The File menu's Export Audio/Video command allows you to export Live's audio output as
new samples. The resulting les can be used to burn an audio CD for listening purposes or
a data CD, which could serve as a backup of your work or be used with other digital audio
applications. If your set includes video, you can also use the Export Audio/Video command
to export this to a new video le, which will be created in the same directory as the rendered
audio les.
