Freeze

[Ken Newton]

Hello, you all have been so helpful to me already, I'm going to pick your brains a little more.

Regarding the "Freeze" function.  It is my understanding that it is a valuable function to use while recording; pressing the * asterisk, bounces the track so that it doesn't use as much (any?) CPU resource.

1) To where does it "bounce"?  To another hidden, virtual track?  Or is it simply temporarily stripped of some its properties, and data, which control effects, track settings, et al?  and left where it is?

2) Should every track that is not ARMed during a track recording be frozen?  

3) If a track is muted during a recording onto another track, should it be frozen?  

Thanks, again, -Ken Newton

1) Freezing (not bouncing) creates audio from the vsti virtually disabling it from the cpu. Also preserves audio in the event vsti fails to work. You can then bounce it if desired. Find out more in the User's Guide available at the top of this website.

2) No

3) No
