CHAPTER 5. MANAGING FILES AND SETS 50
Replace a le Dragging a le from the File Browser and dropping it on an entry in the
list makes the Live Set reference the new le instead of the old one. For samples used
in audio clips, Live retains the clip properties; the Warp Markers are kept if the new
sample has the same or a greater length as the old sample and discarded otherwise.
Please note that replacing a sample will change all clips in your set that reference this
sample.
Every Entry in the File
Reference List is a Drop
Target for Files.
Hot-swap les Using the Hot-Swap button at the left-hand side of each entry, you
can quickly browse through alternatives for the le that is currently being referenced.
This is like dragging les here, only quicker.
The File Reference List's
Hot-Swap Button.
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 ofine 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.
The File Reference List's
Edit Switch.
View a le's location The Location column states if a le is missing, or if it resides in
the Live Library, a Project or somewhere else (external). When unfolded, the entry
shows the specic places in the Set where the le is used.
