KVR Audio

i just installed my SL3 update (as well as the 3.0.2 update) and tried out the improved freeze...thank you steinberg! the heavens have opened above my meager 1.6 ghz.

im finally free to use/edit my favorite voracious plugins the way i want to without worrying about the cpu hit and without cubase trying to freeze the entire unused length of the f**king song! WOOHOO!!!

offering the options of freezing inserts and unloading the synth are great additions too. this was long over due and the way it should have been done from the beginning, but man am i ever happy its finally here.

i just tried new audio warp too. i only did a very quick test (no dynamic tempo changes) but seemed to work well when just changing the master bpm of the song. this too is a welcome new feature for me since it will minimize the amount of times i'll need to load up a vsti just to use a loop in a new tempo or try a tempo change on something i just recorded, thus saving time and system resources.

since i litterally just installed and tried these things out, i havent had the time to run into any bugs but i am very happy right now.

I'm still running SX 1.

On my Athlon 1.8 ghz.

So basically I hate your guts right now.

Happy recording!

Well I'm using SX 2.2.033 on an AMD 2500XP....and I haven't used freeze a single time. Not once.
I can do everything freeze can do almost as quickly and know exactly where my audio clips are and what they're called. I'd be quite happy if they took freeze out of Cubase completely - I still don't see any point to it. You could make your own macros well before freeze came into being. Any and every version of Cubase with audio can do exactly the same function that freeze does...and always have done.

Explain how, please.

Strange, because I wouldn't go without it now. Did any of those old macros freeze multiout VSTis individually for each output, and allow you route the frozen VSTi audio to the same FX with no rerouting?

And was it as simple to go back and midi edit the frozen segments, in place?

It kills work flow, though.

I can see where Ugo is coming from. Must be nice to freeze and unfreeze at the touch of a button!

heh, I use Cubase almost every day for hours at a time and have never clicked the freeze button other than to seee what it does. I still prefer to export->new audio lane and disable the existing track for future reference. I find that much more usable.

Having trouble getting sample accurate 1/164th note scales at Allegro tempos to record properly though.

Freeze it´s a creativity killer.
doesn´t surprise me it was first implemented by Logic.
get used to off line processing or rendering .
freeze only reveals its utility after the project is about to be closed and you need to do some extra polish.

Bye

Cubase SL3 - freeze, glorious freeze!
