someone knows their thermodynamics. i fell asleep during most of those lechtures. its charles law that i do remember.

i think ableton should have renamed freezing to something else as really it produces calculated wave files like export. freezing in other daw software does not do this i believe.

its a wonderful tool. but dont get reverb/delay from your vsti as it mucks up samples. as theres no way of overlapping clips to get reverb/delay tails.

was hoping to find a solution to the sidechain-freeze issue....but no

I will throw out another workaround that I've been using for years (before I had even heard of the technique "sidechain compression")

Auto Pan
Here's the setup ...use "Amount" for your levels

This is boss, I'm pretty new and working with slow-ish equipment so this saves a lot of processor power for me when using multiple plug-ins.

Thank you!

I'm pretty new to Ableton, and to save time I would just click on the track header, right+click > Duplicate entire track > then Freeze and Flatten... Not sure which is better, but I bet if you have a ton of racks/plugins on the track you're duplicating, it will cause a large strain during the duplication stage (why my method probably isn't the greatest).
