Terry Kelley Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I've been freezing tracks when I start to load the processor but one thing I've noticed is that if I have a track that has a midi-enabled effect like Waves or Melda Harmonizer (with a midi track providing the notes), the track will freeze but there isn't any harmony. I assume there is a logical reason for this. If I'm doing it wrong I'd like to know. Harmony plugins use a lot of processor time and it would be nice to be able to freeze the track and unload the processor.

Terry Kelley Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks. So what is the reason it doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When freezing a track, it does not run the whole project in some magical way. It runs only the track enabled for freezing. No midi arrives at the effect, thus will not be trigggered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Oh, I was thinking it would go look since there is a VST in the effects rack. But it sounds like the answer is "it doesn't" Thanks everyone for the info. I'll start bouncing to tracks more. I do it now for sub-mixes but never thought to use it for this.
