CHAPTER 5. MANAGING FILES AND SETS 56
Edit a referenced sample  using an external application (which can be chosen in the
Preferences' File/Folder tab). Clicking the Edit button will open the referenced sample
in the external application. The sample will remain ofine as long as the Edit switch is
engaged. For samples used in audio clips, the current set of Warp Markers is retained
only if the sample length remains the same as before. Note that the Edit button is
only available for samples, not for other types of les such as Max devices.

5.6 Live Projects
A Live Project is a folder containing Live-related les that belong together. Consider, for
example, work on a piece of music: You start out with an empty Live Set; you record audio
and thereby create new sample les; you drag in samples from collections; you save different
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
You can manually create a Project by clicking (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) in the Browser and
selecting Create Project from the context menu. Usually, Live takes care of this automatically.
