How to automatically mute a previous take when doing a new take

[Frank DeFede]

I have 3 midi tracks Strings, Celesta, and Piano.  I want to bounce each of them to separate audio tracks for further mixing.

I selected the string midi track an and froze it. No problem it made an audio file of just the strings on a new track.  The problem is the other 2 midi tracks.  They freeze along with the strings.  If I hit unfreeze on the celesta and/or the piano it unfreezes the Strings.  It's like they are all tied together.

I also tried to use the track folder, but it says no audio is selected to bounce.  I thought I could bounce midi files in the Track folder. 

Any help is much appreciated.

The synth that you are using (TTS-1) is one instance of a single DXi instrument, hence when you freeze it, any & all tracks running through it will freeze also.

Two separate operations. If you Bounce a track to a new track you will have, uh, a new track.
Freezing renders the audio from a synth in that synth's already existing audio output track.
I assume OP knows what is going on. I don't freeze anything so I don't know how TTS-1 reacts, but it could behave as OP wrote.

I'm an 'always bouncer'.

I would think you could mute 2 of the midi tracks. Freeze the "synth" , bounce the audio. Unfreeze , mute different tracks , freeze and bounce .  repeat ..     ??    ms
