And I cannot find the damn freeze button! Argh! Can anyone drop me hints, leave bread crumbs, something?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.
Maybe a screenshot!? I swear, I've been looking for it for 15 minutes; it's not for lack of effort.
