Hi

It was really time for a freeze function in Live. But it is not so good as i was hoping it will be.

I thought you could hit a menu or button which freezes the current clip. So that everytime i launch that clip the freezed file will be played and the Instruments/Effects are bypassed in Background. And when i am making a new Clip in that Track the Instruments/Effects "come back to life".

The only crux of the matter is when the new not-frozen Clip is generated i want to tweak on some effect knobs - this will affect the older frozen Clip. Maybe it would the easiest when the Effects are not editable in that state.

i was also a little disappointed with the freeze function. i expected it to freeze CLIP, not TRACK in sequencer.

that would be COOL

I hope they improve the freeze as well

agreed

Freeze should just resample the clip with the effects applied, so you can still chop, warp, etc. That's what I always thought freeze was about. I just reample the track to another track instead of freeze.

how? only if you find the frozen temporary wav and drop it on free audiotrack...

I found this way as the most simply to use and edit frozen clips from Live's Temp (Live Recordings from Applications Data folder) folder or

If you have saved project before freezing from your saved project folder.

then you can freeze some track an immediately use the frozen clip from temp folder in your project (drag and drop). Then simply save project and that used wav will be saved in your project folder.

Now you don't need to mixdown your tracks to another manualy via routing and record:)

erm...i dont want to have such a "freezing" function implented because it is far away from the idea of freezing.

You freeze because you CPU gets low.
If you want to have a Clip editable for "Warp Markering after Freezing" you are talking about a new function. When thinking about Systems which have the power to handle this CPU intensive task it is possible to have this function (Setting Warp Markers for MIDI Clips/Audio Clips) avaliable even if you HAVEN'T frozen that Track.
