Add Measures with Frozen Tracks

if you still have the midi tracks and move them also,  you should be fine,

Because, Its frozen in time. When it was frozen, you didnt have the extra measuires there yet. So, when you unfeeze it, it goes back to that point in time to when you froze it.   When you froze it, there where no extra measures...  Do you get it?

I freeze audio all the time due to UAD's awesome underpowered cards. (I'm not sarcastic, they are awesome plugs but underpowered cards). I understand why freezing/unfreezing works... but I also hate having to need to add an intro to a song with 20+ frozen audio tracks and then having to manually write down the new start time.

I love Sonar, not a troll, just was hoping there was an easier way.

fooman you may find Process-Apply FX-Audio Effects to be a helpful feature. :-)

Also- if you're freezing synths and want to move the output you can actually copy the frozen audio to a new track using CTRL+SHIFT+drag, and it becomes unfrozen audio. Might save you some headache and time as it's more straightforward moving things that aren't frozen.

Peace,

If you're wanting to insert measures in the middle of an existing audio clip, you'll have to unfreeze them first, then split ALL clips, then insert your extra measures.

But, tell us again, why exactly are you freezing audio tracks?

Wow and i thought the UAD cards save CPU and enabler you to not have to conserve and freeze tracks. I'm glad i never bought UAD cards/effects. It sounds like a rip off from what I'm seeing you go through.

Sliding midi is fine. Easy enough most of the time. Audio tracks that may or may not start exactly on the beat (slip editing isn't an exact science when you're just working away and may have forget to slip exactly to a snap point). That's my issue here. Plus sliding 40+ clips is a lot harder than 5-6. And when they aren't always starting at the some point, etc etc clients standing watching you... kinda lame.

As for UAD... Universal Audio is a great company. Service is on par or surpasses Cakewalk (sorry, just in my experience). Their products are also industry-toppers. Anyone who has tried anything from the real 1176 to the UAD version will be hard-pressed to say otherwise unless they have an agenda (Wave fanboi or similar).

I will say that charging $500-$2k for a card that limits the number of plugins you go and spend another $100-$300+ (each) is terrible. I'd be happy to need the card, but be able to run the plugs natively. The whole DSP-saving idea is dead in the water now. Only my opinion. UAD is very expensive. If I were to start again with 20-20 hindsight I'd go Waves and others. I'd have a hard time without UAD now. I know them too well.

I have two solo's.
Yes, I 100% agree they are all awesome plugins, which is why I use them daily on paid projects.

I think the plugin world is a different paradigm than the hardware world however. I don't want to be tied to an instance limit with a plugin.

I often have 50+ tracks that have everything from Fatso to Cambridge plugs. My PC could handle this, but two UAD2-solo's cannot.

Once again, I'm not here to rag on UA. I love em and their people, so awesome to deal with. I just want to freeze a track, insert some measures, and unfreeze with the audio clip staying put.
