ProChannel and Freezing Synths [answered]


Ran a test.... freeze saved all ProChannel settings as well... turning ProChannel on again after freezing turned it off re-enables ProChannel against audio already processed by ProChannel....

-------------------

When I freeze a synth (and I have prochannel enabled with various modules enabled beforhand), after the freezing is done the ProChannel main On/Off button turns off (but the individual modules remain lit) ..... so my question is: when you freeze a synth does the resultant audio file created have the settings of the prochannel modules when they were on before the freezing?  Meaning if I turn on ProChannel after the freezing am I re-applying prochannel settings against a track which has been frozen with prochannel settings already?

Hopefully I have explained this clearly.

Thanks All.

    As far as I know the pro channel gets burned along w/ the rest of the track.  There were (are?) some ... anomolies in the ProChannel w/ status lights not working right.

    berlymahn - I personally use an alternate technique altogether.  Just suggesting it for consideration.

    Whenever I freeze a track I freeze it without effects or ProChannel stuff. The exception is guitar tracks going through an amp sim like Guitar Rig, where I'm freezing the track in order to capture the amp sim sound and take the amp sim out of the CPU.

    Then I also create an empty audio track. I select the frozen track and copy, then paste the audio that is grabbed from the frozen track into the plain audio track. 

    I then can apply effects, the ProChannel, automation etc. to the audio track as desired. I mute the source/frozen track and use the audio track copy for playback and mixing.

    I've found I gain advantages from this method and I do it for all tracks I freeze.

    One advantage is flexibility. Previously if I had applied a bunch of edits to a frozen track and I wanted to go back for a quick fix on the source track, I would unfreeze and lose all the edits, which was disheartening. This way I can unfreeze and even change the source patch and not lose the edited audio track.

    In reference to your question, this method also allows me to clearly keep separate and editable the ProChannel and other effects on the audio output.

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    I do this sometimes too.   I like the flexibility of having the original track intact while going to town on the frozen/copied version which is treated like a normal audio track - Audio Snap, looping, clip and track FX, etc.

    thanks for this.
    I didn't know edits to frozen trax are lost when unfreezing.

    If you export a frozen track to a wave, does it keep the post freezing edits?
