Freezing Plugs

Can anyone summarize current problems encountered when freezing plugs in Sonar 8.5.3. I noticed the occasional thread when browsing but I didn't pay much attention because I never freeze them. Now I want to - unless weird things are going to happen.
 
Thanks - rev

    You can simply unfreeze if there are issues.

    From memory, it was unfreezing that had the issues! I only read such posts with a passing interest because I never used that feature but I seem to remember that some people had trouble unfreezing a frozen plug or the settings had changed when they unfroze. Something like that. 
     
    With some plugs it doesn't matter much if the settings have changed but when I've worked a long time on getting the drums right, I'd hate to lose all the work.

    Then make a copy of the project,and test on the copy. Either way you have your answer.

    That would provide an answer for that particular project but not all of them.
     
    I guess I could copy each one just before opening them, it wouldn't take that long, I was just hoping someone had summarized the issues somewhere. Even if I found such a thread, I wouldn't know if the problems had been fixed but at least I'd know what to expect and possibly which plugs are prone to misbehavior.  
     
    It's not a big deal but my tracks have become more complicated over the years and sometimes I'd like to take a plug or two out of the loop without taking them out of the project.

    I think part of the problem is trying to track down potential issues in a five year old version - always more difficult than more current versions.
     
    I would personally recommend making copies of your existing tracks as backups and archiving them to save resources, then work with the unarchived versions from there.

    I think that's exactly what I'll do.

    Cool.  At least this way you have the backups and working copies all within the same project.
