Frozen Operator vs Demo mode ?

Post by g1sh » Wed Nov 18, 2009 2:43 pm

Hello,

I didn't bother to buy operator, since I don't really use it, but my friend does. We used to swap live sets all the time, and for avoiding the "demo mode" on my machine he used to freeze the operator tracks so then they become standard wave files (until "unfreeze" that of course I never did). And that worked until now.

In 8.0.9 I cannot modify the live sets with frozen operator's (and I'm not touching the operators at all, just the other stuff).

I even uninstalled operator on my machine completely and while opening the set it still goes into demo mode.

Any solution ?

I got around it by using live 8.0.4 on my laptop, bouncing the frozen track to a wave, deleting the frozen track and putting the wave file on an audio track. Then saving it and importing on my main machine's 8.0.9

But that really shouldn't be the way :(

once you have frozen a track there will be a new right click option "flatten" that will make it into a normal audio track/clip

you can also drag frozen clips to an audio track and they will become audio clips

when I freeze something I just press CMD+T to create a new audio track next to it, drag them to the audio track and disable the frozen clips or unfreeze and switch off all devices - that way I can always go back

i dublicate the track, and do all freezing and flattening only there.. but the end is the same, of course :)

i'd love a 'flatten to new track' option.. :)
