Ableton question

[Bjazzman]

ok so i know that exporting a wav file, you can open it up in itunes and burn it to a disc. but what if you want to burn the actual live set with all the instruments? Can someone run me through how you can do this so my other buddies can help me out with mixing it

Do you want to burn the Live set so you can open it up in another version of live, or do you want to end up with a collection of full length wav files that you can load into another DAW? Also, what version of live are you using and do you have a manual for it?

[Bjazzman]

I guess for now I just want to burn the live set for mixing. I have live 7. the full version. I think my friend just has live lite 4.

I'm not being dense... but I'm not getting your point. If you want to open the set in Live4, then you are probably SOL. No way to export backward-compatible versions as far as I know. You could export one track at a time, and then pull them in to a new project in any DAW. Make sure you export the full track, not just the clips, and the exported tracks should all be the same length and line up fine. Again, the manual might seem a little obtuse, but the info is in there. Also, the forums at the Ableton website are a great resource.

Enjoy!

Hi

In Live 7, open the file menu and select the "collect all and save" option

follow the dialog boxes to ensure you store what is needed.

Your friends will need the same version to open the session
