of the Live Sets, Live Clips or device presets in the Project. If not, the sample is regarded as
unused even if other Projects or programs still use it.
To nd the unused samples for the currently open Project, choose the Manage Files com-
mand from the File menu, click the Manage Project button, and then click on the triangular-
shaped fold button next to Unused Samples to access a summary and the Show button.
Clicking the Show button makes the File Browser list the unused samples; there, you can
preview the samples and delete them if you like.
Note you can also nd the unused samples from the Library: choose the Manage Files
command from the File menu, then click the Manage Library button, and then see the
Unused Samples section.
Last but not least, you can nd the unused samples for all Projects found in a specic folder
(and its sub-folders): (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) on a folder in the File Browser and choose
the Manage Projects command, then see the Unused Samples section. Live inspects each
Project individually and labels a sample unused even if another Projects in the same folder
does use that sample. To prevent losses, you may want to rst collect the samples into their
respective Projects and then purge the Projects of unused samples.
5.12 Packing Projects into Live Packs
Live's File Manager provides the option of packing a Live Project in Live Pack format for
convenient archiving and transfer. To do this, choose the Manage Files command from the
File menu, click the Manage Project button, and then click on the triangular-shaped fold
button next to Packing. Click the Create Live Pack button to bring up a le-select dialog
where you can specify the name and location of a new Live Pack le. Creating a new Live
Pack from a Project does not affect the Project. If you want the Project deleted, you can
delete it using the File Browser.
Live employs lossless compression techniques to minimize the le size of Live Packs. De-
pending on the audio materials in a Project, this saves up to 50 percent in le size.
To unpack a Live Pack (i.e., to restore the original Live Project), double-click the Live Pack
le (.alp), drag it into the Live main window, or locate it via the File menu's Install Live Pack
command. Live will then request that you choose a location for the new Project. Note:
