Later, select “Track -> Track unfreeze” ("Ctrl + Shift + U") to change the original MIDI data
that was "frozen". The instrument returns to the state in which it was "frozen".
Freezing VST instruments
To freeze an instrument, mark the instrument in the VSTi manager and select the "Freeze"
option under "Functions". After a short processing time, all MIDI and audio objects from
the audio return track are replaced by a single 32-bit stereo audio object.
A frozen instrument will no longer be controlled by the track's MIDI files and can even be
deactivated, provided that it is not used by other MIDI tracks.
Select "Unfreeze" in the VSTi manager to change the original MIDI data at a later point.
The instrument returns to the state in which it was "frozen".
The freeze function also works with single outputs. You can also freeze these tracks if they
do not contain MIDI information and do not hold objects. The MIDI data that has been
routed to the track or to the individual output of the instrument automatically creates an
audio file that is now played instead of the original instrument.
In order to avoid double playback of the data, manually deactivate the instrument's single
output in the frozen track.
Note: To edit freeze data, you cannot only use the "Track freeze edit" function, since there
is no MIDI data available on this track to be edited. Therefore, “unfreeze” the track and edit
the send track's MIDI data. You can then refreeze the track.
"Inactive" state for VST instruments and VST effects
Plug-ins can now be completely deactivated to free memory space. When reactivating the
plug-ins, the last state is completely restored.
If you set VST plug-ins to "Inactive" by pressing "Shift + Alt + Click" in the plug-in slot of
the corresponding track, these plug-ins are completely removed from RAM. This way, no
more resources are used in conjunction with the hardware systems like "PowerCore" or
"UAD".
The instrument on this track will be deactivated and removed from the disk. The "frozen"
state of the instrument will be indicated using ** symbols at either side of its name.
