Muted Clips Still Processed ?

[SonicExplorer]

Hi,

As a workflow matter, sometimes after comping I still like to keep a spare take or two in case unexpectedly needed during mix.  So, for any given track, rather than add extra tracks to store additional takes, I simply store them as clips in the main track and mute all but the one currently targeted for mix.  However, a question just occurred to me:  During playback are these muted clips still being processed, read off disk, rather than ignored like Archived tracks?

Thanks,

I think the only way to free up the processing from the engine is to ARCHIVE the track. You can unmute clips during playback, seemlessly. If you want. But you can't change the status of an ARCHIVED track while playback is active.

So, yes, muted clips are still processed.
