OMG!!!! I read the directions in the help file:
When an edit has a lot of filters and starts to need more cpu than is available, Tracktion has a facility called track freezing that can allow some of the tracks to be automatically pre-rendered whilst allowing them to be un-frozen later and changed.

To freeze part of an edit, select those tracks that you're not currently working on, and in the track properties, press the 'freeze' button. This will take a moment to render the tracks, and they will be shrunk on-screen to indicate that they're currently uneditable. The edit should, however, still play back as before, with the difference that the output of any filters and soft-synths in these tracks will have been rendered, so scrubbing may sound a little different.

To un-freeze one or more tracks, just select them and click the 'unfreeze' button.
And I cannot find the damn freeze button! Argh! Can anyone drop me hints, leave bread crumbs, something?

Maybe a screenshot!? I swear, I've been looking for it for 15 minutes; it's not for lack of effort. :D

The freeze shows up in the properties box when you select a track.

Yes, make sure it's the track (or tracks) that's selected rather than just the clip within the track.

Dammit! I am both appreciative of you guys, and frustrated at my own dumbness.:D

I was looking for it when clicking on the waveform; didn't know you could click on the track.

I've got 1.6NFR, the legitimately free version. Beggars can't be choosers, but is there a better instruction manual available somewhere that's better than the included help files?

Not really. 2.0 was really the first version with a decent manual. Although I never really felt the need for a manual with T1, everything was right infront of my face pretty much. :D

It usually is for me too, except this particular occasion. And it makes me wonder what other cool stuff I might not know about within it.

The Australians refer to it as the "twirly whirly" tool.
