Freez and flatten with selected device for exemption.

[Sleeper0013]

i have discovered that i can save a huge amount of processing power by flatten my track but then realize after i have done so i immediately regret that decision becasue i might need to make adjustments to FX and mixing parameters later. the solution i have come up with is to duplicate the track, delete the entire signal chain on the duplicate except for midi and the instrument its self, flatten that, then copy over the signal chain from the original, then delete the original track. Since i'm not dealing with midi notes and a synth, the processing is much lower and i have a flattened audio that i can still adjust. i usualy do this right before i actually get serious about the mix after the writing is done, i have found that i don't have to completely flatten my tracks for mastering as after doing this but i do have a beast of a PC. But it would be much simpler if i could flatten a track after selecting the devices in that track that are exempt from that flattening process, that stay in the chain after flattening. i would actually never flatten an entire track becasue even during mastering i find i might need to make an adjustments. its even more work to have to go back to an older version make that adjustment flatten again and master again, when i can just make an adjustment on a flattened synth, with all my processing still intact.
