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.
