Will there be a "Apply FX to track" feature soon?

You forgot step 2.5 Twiddle your thumbs for 5 minutes or go and put the kettle on

true


isnt it possible to use "autohotkey" to make ur own macros/shortcuts for ableton live?

[Valiumdupeuple]

You can create shortcuts because freeze and flatten are in the menu. In osx you have to do it in the system preferences, don't know how in windows though.

here is a thread, but only winxp :/ : viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89115

IMO, where this needs to really be improved is with drum racks. I mean think of where you'd most want to quickly render sounds with effects. I would say in drum rack cells, where essentially they are usually going to be used as one-shot sounds. You pike on maybe avst and some effects just for a single sound, but obviously don't want a massive drum rack of plug-ins, so you want to bounce most of th em down to samples in the drum pads. But there is no flatten for individual pads! The workflow, as I know it, kinda stinks for this:
-Change your drum rack track output to another audio track
-Record in real time the hit
-Edit the start/end points
-Delete original cell contents
-Drag sample into drum rack pad.

Bleh. Maschine lets you you render directly on the pad.

Am I missing something?

freeze and flatten didnt work on drumracks?

[mholloway]

anyone who thinks freeze+flatten is a suitable answer to Ableton's lack of proper Bounce In Place functioning has no idea what they are missing...

let's just list ONE major drawback to get started: you have to freeze the entire channel. every time. want just one clip rendered with FX? sorry, you must freeze them all anyway. which will probably take a long time. or, begin a long serious of workarounds: copy channel, remove all clips but the one you want to render, freeze, flatten, etc. With bounce in place you've done this with two clicks and are already moving on with your songwriting / production.

i found the fix to my problem on KVR:

So you have your editable wav track in 4 clicks.
1. Right click track
2. Left click freeze
3. Right click track
4. Left click flatten

step 2.5 is a must. the shortcut to sanity, if you will.

Exact, andno option for mono files rendering with the freeze-flatten.

And another missed opportunity from L9. <sigh>

Ah give them a break, as far as I know this is the first thread asking for bounce in place. It would be great though, as would freezing that thought of work arounds for side chain routings.

[Guff Tong]

Freezey stuff I do:

Copy/ duplicate tracks to selective freeze certain parts.

Freeze clips from arrangement in session mode for quick freeze. (dont have to wait for silence to be skipped, ok if you have no arrange mode automation of course!)

Cut un-freezable fx like side chain n that, freeze/flatten then paste the fx back.

Freeze any clips with complex warp enabled to free up CPU.

Hmu if u all do this too !

[ikeaboy]

I've done those things from time to time. Frequently I copy the fx on an instrument, group the track and put the fx on the group. Then I freeze the instrument. That way I can adjust things like eq without unfreezing processor hungry instruments.
