• The program now renders the output of the track, including all pre-fader insert
effects, to an audio file.
This file is placed in the “Freeze” folder within the Project folder.
• The frozen audio track is locked for editing in the Project window.
The frozen insert effects cannot be edited or removed and you cannot add
new insert effects for the track (except post-fader effects).
• On playback, the rendered audio file is played back. You can still adjust the
level and panning in the MixConsole, make EQ settings and adjust the effect
sends.
In the MixConsole, the channel for a frozen track is indicated by a “snow flake”
symbol above the channel name.
After freezing the Inserts for a track, you hear the track play back as before but the
insert effects do not have to be calculated in real time, easing the load on the
computer processor. Typically, you would freeze a track when it is finished and you
do not need to edit it anymore.
NOTE
You can only freeze audio tracks this way, not group channel tracks or FX channel
tracks.
NOTE
Cubase Elements only: Post-fader inserts can not be frozen.
• To unfreeze a frozen track, click its Freeze button again.
Send Effects
Send effects are outside of an audio channel’s signal path, i. e. the audio data to be
processed must be sent to the effect.
To this end, Cubase provides FX channel tracks. When you have created such a
track, it is added to the track list and can be selected as a routing target in the Send
slots of audio channels.
• When selecting an FX channel track in one of the send slots of an audio
channel, the audio is sent to the FX channel and through any insert effects set
up for it.
The sends can be routed to different FX channels, and thus different FX
channel insert effect configurations. You control the amount of signal sent to
the FX channel by adjusting the effect send level.
• If you have added several effects to the FX channel, the signal passes through
the effects in series, from the top (the first slot) downward.
This allows for “custom” send effect configurations – e. g. a chorus followed
by a reverb followed by an EQ and so on.
