66 Managing Files and Sets

5.12.2 How Can I Save Presets Into My Current Project?

You can save presets directly to the current project by dragging from the device’s title bar and

dropping into the Current Project label in the browser. You can then use the File Management

tools, collect any referenced samples, etc.

5.12.3 Can I Work On Multiple Versions of a Set?

If you’d like to work on different versions of the same Live Set, save them into the same Project.

This will usually be the Project that was created when you saved the ﬁrst version of the Live Set. If

a Project contains multiple Live Sets it will only collect one copy of any samples used by the vari-

ous versions, which can save disk space and help with organization.

5.12.4 Where Should I Save My Live Sets?

You can save Live Sets anywhere you want, but saving to pre-existing Project folders can cause

problems, and should be reserved for special cases. You should only save a Live Set to an exist-

ing Project if it is somehow related to the Project — for example, an alternate version of a song

that’s already in the Project.

5.12.5 Can I Use My Own Folder Structure Within a Project

Folder?

You can organize your ﬁles any way you want within a Project, but you’ll need to use the File

Manager to relink the ﬁles that you’ve moved around:

1. In Live’s Browser or via your operating system, reorganize the ﬁles and folders within your

Project folder.

2. Navigate to the Project folder in the Browser and choose Manage Project via the [right-

click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu.

3. If you’ve changed the original location of any samples used in the Project, the Missing

Samples section of the File Manager will indicate this. Click the Locate button to search for

the samples.

4. Since you know that your samples are all in the Project folder, unfold Automatic Search.
