Freezing a track with a MIDI-controlled VSTi


Recommended Posts

You can freeze just the audio portion and leave any effect plugins active. Right-click on the track header and choose Freeze -> Freeze Options" from the context menu. Un-check the "Track FX" option.

This assumes it's an effect in the FX bin, as opposed to an effect within a synthesizer or sampler. Those kinds of effects always get frozen.

In that case, you're stuck. Frozen means frozen. Maybe you can identify other tracks that can be safely frozen and thus free up resources for the harmonizer.

I deal with this conundrum often. My favorite drum synth is Superior Drummer, which is a huge hog. But I like to be able to tweak the drums right up until I'm done with the project. Consequently, I freeze everything else first and leave that one instrument for last. Sometimes my computer just runs out of steam and I have no choice but to freeze the drums, too. After that, if I need to make a change I have to un-freeze, edit, and re-freeze. Just a fact of life until we all have supercomputers.
