So far I never had this problem cause 1Gig of RAM was more then I needed.
But since I got some heavy duty plugs (BDF, Atmosphere, Electrik Piano) I run out of RAM very quickly.
Not worried I decided to use the Freeze Track to free up resources.
But I was supprized that RAM is not liberated during Freeze Track only CPU.
Is this correct? (bummer)
It seems like an easy fix just give us the option to free up RAM as well if needed.
Hopefully in T2.

Yup its correct. Its been mentioned before many times. It should be in T2 by now (hopefully). I definitely hope its an option tho cuz I rather have quick reload when un-freezing most of the time.AndrewSimon wrote:So far I never had this problem cause 1Gig of RAM was more then I needed.

I only have 256 MB RAM, and once I freeze a bunch of tracks, I have to exit T, and run a memory washer, before coming back into T, to have the RAM available again. It would be nice if this was built into T.

could you not just render instead?

I found out about the memory washer program from the rgc audio website; specifically on the sfz info page.
Here is the link to the sfz page where it talks about it.

Sorry, it's not a memory washer, but a memory defragmenter.
And the comment about rendering - well, then I would have to commit to the track and as a tweaker, the product is NEVER finished
I just need a new PC - all of this monkeying around with Win98SE is starting to drive me nuts. Upgrading to more memory, WinXP home, etc. etc. is going to cost almost as much as one of the new cheapo Dell computers.

by choosing track render then add track you keep the original and mute it. I'm not sure if this frees the ram but I've found it alot more useful than freeze, which basically does the same thing but with less control (and slower). I think you'll find most people work this way.

No unfortunately Freezing, Rendering or even diabling the VSTi does NOT free up the RAM.by choosing track render then add track you keep the original and mute it. I'm not sure if this frees the ram but I've found it alot more useful than freeze, which basically does the same thing but with less control (and slower). I think you'll find most people work this way.
The only choice you have is to same your VSTi preset and remove the VSTi completely from the track.
Not fun if you want to go back and change things.
