versions of the Live Set along the way so that you can go back and compare. Perhaps you
also save Live Clips or device presets that belong to this particular musical piece. The
project folder for this Live Project will maintain all the les related to this piece of music
and Live's File Manager will provide the tools you need to manage them.
5.6.1 Projects and Live Sets
In Live, there is no need to manually create Projects, as they are automatically built for you.
When you save a Live Set under a new name or in a new folder location, Live will create a
new project folder and store the Live Set there unless you are saving the Live Set into an
existing Live Project. Let's look at an example to illustrate this process:
We have recorded some audio into a new Live Set. We now save the Live Set under the
name Tango on the Desktop. Here is the result as displayed by the Live Browser:
A Live Set and its
Recordings in a Live
Project Folder.
The project folder (Tango Project) contains the Live Set (Tango.als) and a Samples folder,
which in turn contains a Recorded folder with two samples in it. Note that the main window
of Live now shows us that we are working on Project Tango.
Next, we record another track into our Project. We save the modied version of the Live
Set under a new name so that we do not lose the previous version. Accepting the Save As
command's default suggestion, we store the new version of the song in the Tango Project
folder.
