Another tip; In session view: after freezing a midi clip, on a Mac hold down option key and grab midi clip and drag to audio track and release: instant audio clip....no need to flatten.

This is awesome if you want to convert a cpu-hungry kontakt instrument to audio, while retaining all of your fx. Thanks a lot for this.

Just tried this in Live 11. Copy and pasting the frozen MIDI to an Audio track also works and keeps the midi in its track.

TIP: Commit to audio BUT also save the track along with instruments and effects by saving the clip file, ALC in any folder, preferably the project folder. So if you have any regrets you can bring the track back in, plus no blue freeze lines.

Keep trying to find a reason to go from bitwig, back to ableton. I resample alot. In bitwig, you start manipulating audio, adding fx, modulators, then bounce. It creats a new track with ONLY the audio you selected to bounce, not the full track. In ableton....all the stuff in this video. Works with audio, midi, vst's etc. In Ableton, Its like setting up a new track, switching it to resample, setting loop markers then playing the track while recording on the new track. Only difference, bitwig does this with a single button press. I really like ableton but bitwig keeps surprising me and makes me work differently than all the same stuff i used to do in ableton. Ableton is still great thought. It has simpler and a better piano roll.

I was just wondering when I use delay compensation it’s causing more delay on my frozen and flattened tracks and I’ve looked in the manual and I’ve tried to find online the solution to this problem and I can’t find it anywhere. I’m just wondering what are the pros and cons of having delay compensation on for a frozen or flatten track please and thank you.

Total noob question. So, if you freeze a track that has a ton of plugins on it, like multiple compressors etc, my assumption is that all of the work/tweaking put in with all of the plugins will remain in the Frozen track, as well as the flattened one. You can then manipulate (mix) the track like you would any other audio track with additional tools?

It's like food. Freezing means you can't work with in the kitchen until you've thawed it. it can be raw or cooked food. Flattening is like you've now made fried chicken. You can use that chicken Amy way you'd like, but it will still be the chicken you cooked.

Hey man, I have this problem when I flatten a sample. So I have effects on an audio file I flatten it and save it. Then I reopen the project and the flattened audio is offline and I cannot use it. I didn't manipulate or delete the source of the audio on my computer and It's really ruining my projects and motivation. Do you have some ideas how can I fix it?

@MusicTechOfficial
@MusicTechOfficial 4 жыл бұрын
Which VST? Are you on PC? Maybe try increasing your buffer size and see if that helps. If it's a heavy CPU process before you flatten, maybe something is glitching?

Thanks for this video. Sidenote: it appears that freezing only works for midi tracks with an internal sound. You cannot freeze a midi track which plays an external synth.
