I'm not sure what everyone's doing for future releases/support but I guess some are paying for the new SONAR version and questions are now posted only on that forum. That's for paying subscribers only? Is this still an appropriate place for the occassional innocent free Bandlab question? Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I consider this a minor problem. If it happens again I'll let you know. This is the first time I've encountered this problem after using this feature for many years.

Max Arwood, Thanks. Sounds like what my plan was going to be. I try not to waste too much time with stuff like this but I'm always curious why these problems occur. Thanks again.

Hi David Baay, Froze it within the last week. Unusal new problem for me. I may just add the Kontakt plugin again and copy the orginal MIDI track and move on. Don't want to waste too much time on this. Thanks.

Hi sjoens, I'll try that, thanks.

I've been freezing/unfreezing tracks for years and today for the first time I was unable to unfreeze a track. I tried all the 'freeze options' to no avail. I can't find a solution via Google searches. Is this a new bug? I was able to unfreeze a different track in the same project so it's probably something specific to this plugin/track. Thanks. (Freeze button not grayed out but cannot unfreeze after left-clicking and trying all freeze options.)

Hi sjoens, Thanks. I can just do them one at a time. Swear it used to work...

Thanks. I don't see any compelling reason to change anything right now. Back to MIDI freeze... Some of you are able to select two audio channels that have midi content below them and hit freeze and both audio channels then freeze their associated midi tracks? I think I used to be able to do this but now can't. Thanks.

Thanks David Baay, I downloaded the latest SONAR release but haven't installed it. What happens to your current setup if you install that release? This is my current release: This should probably be in another thread but I want to make sure if I move forward that with that version that I'll have all my current settings. Also, what will it cost? I can do everything Ineed to do with this version and have no compelling version to upgrade but I'll do it to support the product and support. Meanwhile, back on the freezing MIDI ranch.....all I would like to be able to do is select the Audio tracks I want to freeze and have Sonar/Cakewalk/Bandlab be smart enough to freeze any MIDI tracks associated with those Audio tracks and put the frozen MIDI in the audio track. Each track freeze fine if I select it individually. It's only when I select multiple audio channels and/or multiple MIDI and audio channels that I can't get the behavior I would like. It's a small problem but it seems pretty basic to me.

Thanks for your ideas. I've tried everything and none seem to work but I won't give up. It would just be a time saver to have this work. These are random soft synth tracks on any given song so I would really like to just select a few at a time to freeze any MIDI tracks associated with them to save CPU processing. I can do them one at a time if need but I actually think it used to work. Not sure. sjoens - I wasn't sure where to post this. I've been using Sonar/Bandlab whatever for years and am happy to pay for it now. Is this what I want to take the big plunge?: If so I'll pay for it today. I wasn't sure when I should pay for the new release or just keep sticking with Bandlab usually which does what I need. Do I want SONAR Platinum instead? I'll pay whatever for the best current release. Thanks.

I wrote about this topic years ago and still haven't resolved the problem. When i want to freeze several MIDI tracks I was told you can hold down the control key and left-mouse click each track you would like to freeze so they are now highlighted (see attached). When I try that the only track that freezes is the one where I click on the 'freeze' icon. The other require a separate click to freeze later. I'm trying to save time and freeze several tracks at once. I believe another user said it works fine for them so perhaps I'm doing something wrong. In the attached screen shot I would like tracks 32 and 34 to freeze after I click the freeze icon on either of them. I've tried left-click freeze and ctrl-left-click freeze to no avail. Thanks.

Thanks msmcleod. I'll try that.

It just opens the project normally after I click. Again, it's a small problem. If I could get rid of it easily that would be nice but I can live with it.

what's "the other program"? None that I know of. Cakewalk is closed. I'm in Windows Explorer and double-click on a project to open it as usual and often get this message. Not sure what's going on.

(Please move this post to the Cakewalk forum, thanks!)
