Freezing Insert Effects
Freezing an audio track and its insert effects allows you to reduce processor power. However,
frozen tracks are locked for editing. You cannot edit, remove or add insert effects for the frozen
track.
PREREQUISITE
You have made all settings for the track and you are sure that you do not need to edit it
anymore.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Inspector for the audio track that you want to freeze, click Freeze Audio Channel.
2. In the Freeze Channel Options dialog, specify a Tail Size in seconds.
This adds time at the end of the rendered file. This way, reverb and delay tails can fully
fade out.
RESULT
The output of the track including all pre-fader insert effects is rendered to an audio file.
NOTE
Cubase Elements only:Post-fader inserts cannot be frozen.
The frozen audio track is saved in the Freeze folder that can be found in the following location:
Windows: within the Project folder
macOS: User/Documents
In the MixConsole, the frozen audio channel is indicated by a snow flake symbol above the
channel name. You can still adjust the level and panning, make EQ settings and adjust the effect
sends.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
To unfreeze a frozen track, click Freeze again.
Send Effects
Send effects are outside the signal path of an audio channel. The audio data that is to be
processed must be sent to the effect.
You can select an FX channel track as routing destination for a send.
You can route different sends to different FX channels.
You can control the amount of signals sent to the FX channel by adjusting the effect send
level.
To do this, you must create FX channel tracks.
