I have an instance of session drummer 1 and and instance on cakewalk tts-1, both I froze via the snowflake button as I needed to retrack some bass and to do so get my asio buffers down to reasonable latency. I finished that, restored by asio buffer size back to 1024 and clicked the blue snowflake to unfreeze the synth but nada. Nothing happens. Neither does anything happen if I right click the snowflake and try to unfreeze that way.
 
Help!
I need to edit the midi track that feed the session drummer but freeze took it away!

Is there any locked clips related to those instruments? I'm grasping here but there seems to be something telling you hands off.

@ampfixer: No locked clips (No little yellow padlocks anywhere).

I have had this issue.  I was sure it was related to Toontrack's EZ Drummer 2 but Toontrack and others disagreed.
 
Do you have EZ Drummer 2 in the project?

This is a long shot but...
 
In the Synth Rack try toggling your Solo and Mute buttons on the entries that won't unfreeze then try to unfreeze them again.
 
I say this because a while back I had the reverse problem. Essentially the Freeze buttons became unavailable on certain synths (but not others). By total fluke someone else here (I forget who... sorry mystery helper) had the same problem and suggested the Solo/Mute toggle. Totally worked... so maybe this is the same problem in reverse.
 
It's some obscure intermittent bug (or absolutely horrible design flaw).
 
Sorry if that's not of help but it's worth a shot.
 
Also restarting Sonar or rebooting the system might shake something loose.
 
Cheers.
 
PS: If you can't figure it out and you created a Save As of the project before freezing (but after creating the MIDI file(s)) you could just open that project, toss a single event at the very start of the clip(s) (so just put a note at 00:00:00), bounce to clips (if there are multiple clip segments in the tracks) then drag the clip to the Browser. Open your current project, create a new track(s) and drag the MIDI clip(s) into it.
 
You could also save the original tracks as Track Templates to retain any properties (like FX/synth settings and whatnot) and then load it/them into the current project.

 
@Konrad: No, no toontrack stuff.
@Beep: I'll try that tonight when I get home, thanks.

I'm not sure right offhand what's up with the failure to unfreeze, but you can still get at the MIDI by splitting the Instrument track.

Really!  - I will try that too. never split the instrument track but I'll look it up.
That's all I want. To fix the drums (again). :-)

Soak in warm water for about 30 minutes.
