Ableton Live's Collect All and Save feature consolidates all your files into one location on your computer.
The amount of times music producers lose their session files because of dead hard drives or just "computer stuff" is insane, and since I've been teaching music production for years - I've seen the heartbreak!
Also, if you plan on using Ableton Packs, you need to use Collect All and Save first, so you can guarantee your Ableton session will unpack correctly at that new location.
Collect All and Save is an incredibly practical feature in Ableton Live and if you're serious about saving your work for posterity or sending your session files to collaborators like a pro - watch this vid!

I randomly came across this option long time ago, and i agree that this option changed my way of managing my ableton projects

you can create a keyboard shortcut on mac by going to settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts. Then you pick Ableton, then type in "Collect All and Save" (case sensitive) and then pick whatever key command you want and it will then be a new command next time you open Ableton!

Ableton should have this as a preference option to set to "always collect and save" with each regular save. Great video!

I agree!

Thanks for this mate. So I'm wondering now, should I collect all and save every time I would normally save - assuming I've recorded something new or add things or what not?

I do it when I know I've added a ton of drum samples and loops and whatnot. For me, it's usually towards the end of the project. You could do it every time though, just a few extra clicks

How does Live treat plugins in this regard? When I transfer projects to the Push I get a notification suggesting collect all and save, but also about freezing plugin tracks. When that happens, does Live create an audio recording in the background and fake the midi track under the hood with an audio track? I thought that was flattening, not freezing. I haven't worked with other producers yet but I've wondered if I add a track with a plugin will it still work on someone else's computer, assuming they have the same plugin? Because it's easy to save midi, or an audio file, but loading a plugin with all its settings intact I'm not sure if Ableton can do. Then there's plugins that basically have their own project file. Do you know how that works?

I know that freezing a track essentially renders out an audio file the project would be using. Flattening is just committing to this audio file and deleting the plugin. But I think if you wanted to keep those plugins active you could just duplicate the track, leaving one untouched and the other freezed and flattened. That way, if your collaborator does acquire the plugin at a later time, they can then go back to the original track.
