The template Live Set, Template.als, is located in Live's Preferences folder and can be
copied or deleted from there. The easiest way to locate this folder is to search your disk for
Template.als.
In addition to the template Set that loads by default, the Live Library contains a folder
called Templates. This is a collection of Sets with pre-congured tracks and routing
congurations for a variety of common recording scenarios.
5.5.5 Viewing and Changing a Live Set's Sample References
To view a list of the samples referenced by the current Live Set, choose the Manage Files
command from the File menu, click the Manage Set button, and then click the View Samples
button. Live will display one line for each sample used by the Live Set. To list all clips or
instruments in the Live Set where the sample is actually used, click the triangle to expand
the line. Here is what you can do:
 Replace a sample  Dragging a sample from the File Browser and dropping it on an
entry in the list makes the Live Set reference the new sample 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
Sample Reference List is
a Drop Target for
Samples.
 Hot-swap samples  Using the Hot-Swap button at the left-hand side of each entry,
you can quickly browse through alternatives for the sample that is currently being
referenced. This is like dragging samples here, only quicker.
