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) /
(Mac) in the Browser and
selecting Create Project from the context menu. Usually, Live takes care of this automatically.
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:
