i think you'll just set the length of the clip, and thats what it freezes to. so if you have a long reverb tail that lasts 8 bars, make and 8 bar clip and it will record (freeze) the 8 bars.

this is what i do now. its the most logical way to handle it i would think

fyi people that keep replying to this thread with speculation about how this feature works are really, really hard up for this feature. trust me i know

Try running Live on a 667 Powerbook. I really need freeze, or a new laptop!

Yes, I need this really badly! So for now I just daydream about it.

Perhaps you should go review that Live 4 manual a bit more.
Live only loads clips to RAM if you tell it to do so on a per clip basis, other wise audio data is streamed direct from disk. In the case of frozen clips and or tracks, an actual PCM audio data stream (wav/AIFF) WILL be written to disk. This is made quite evident by the fact that Ableton states that a feature of the freeze function will be allowing you to use frozen clips on machines that do not necessarily have all of the FX or instruments present before the freeze.

interesting -- i just assumed it was all in memory as that technically is the fastest way to process data in the CPU. Anyhow, not necessarily a topic one would assume to look up in the manual either
