How to commit audio effects

[mattclarkmixer]

I’ve got some audio tracks that I want to apply a destructive eq to.

In Pro Tools I do this all the time with audio suite plugins. You select a clip(s), pick a plugin and click “render”. Is there a way to this in Live?

You could add the EQ to the clip/track and then use freeze and flatten.

The Freeze Track command is available from Live‘s Edit menu and from the right-click(Win) / CTRL-click(Mac) context menu of tracks and clips.

Beware that Freeze and Flatten is Track based not clip based. So it will render the whole track.
Commit (or Bounce in Place as other Daws call it) per clip is not possible in Live.

While not possible in theory there are a few workarounds.

Freeze then copy range of clip to audio track is essentially BIP although it is a bit messier.

Also any track in Live can be recorded to another track. This might be the quicker method if clip is fairly short.

There is a M4L script that does BIP but I think it just automates manually creating a track and recording the range desired.
