BFD3 not able to freeze nor unfreeze
BFD3 not able to freeze nor unfreeze Is anyone having any problems freezing or unfreezing BFD3 in Sonar X3e? There are a few other VST's that I'm having a problem freezing and/or unfreezing. I click the button to freeze or unfreeze, and the button graphically looks like I executed the function, but NOTHING HAPPENS.
Anyone?

Could be running out of RAM while bouncing. Try turning off the 64-bit option and see what happens. That'll reduce memory usage while freezing, but won't affect sound quality.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Did you ever install EZ Drummer 2? There is a bug with it that causes this problem with other VSTs..

I don't freeze / unfreeze my BFD3 tracks very often, but I don't recall having any issues when I did.
My system allows me to mostly keep BFD3 as an unfrozen midi track, to the end of the project.
I have never tweaked any of the settings in BFD3 preferences, have you ?
If you are short on RAM (as bitflipper suggests) another option within BFD3 preferences is to uncheck the "Enable BFD3 extended channels" button in the Streaming Engine section. Might be worth a try ? . . . though you're also saying other VST's do not freeze well on your system.
Perhaps you could post your system specs as a comparison to other BFD3 users within Sonar X3e.

WOW, what great suggestions. I'm going to try them when I get home from work today.
Interesting thing though. I can't unfreeze BFD3 either. Every other VST freezes and unfreezes properly.
Let me add this little blurb that I failed to mention. My inability to freeze or un-freeze BFD3 only occurs once I save my project and THEN re-open it.

Bitflipper, Do you ever have time to write music or perform? It seems like you have been able to comment on this forum on a daily basis. Amazing.

In BFD2 there is/was a small icon on the main screen which reads "Offline"
It was necessary to click this before doing any sort of bounce/freeze with BFD
I'm not sure if the same thing exists in BFD3, try asking over at the Fxpansion boards.
