Freeze All!

im working on a track right now and realized, man, would it be great to have a "freeze all audio tracks" button.
yes, i know this would take awhile, but still. it would save me 30 clicks per session.
 
 
anyone else?

There is no such feature in SONAR but Ben Staton has made an awesome utility called SONAR Plus which includes Batch Freeze function! 

You can find SONAR Plus utility at www.sonarplus.co.uk and support forum at www.sonarmods.com.

Doesn't the Archive button on a Track Folder function as a Freeze All Tracks in Folder?

NO.. Freeze and Archive are 2 totally different things

Care to give me a quick summary of the difference if you have a minute?

The help file would have explained it to you.

Archive sends the track to archive. It's mute, unaccessible and does not consume CPU. Freeze turns a soft synth track into an audio track or prints the VSTs.

Those two are not even remotely similar, not in any way.

I know I do this too often, but you can now do batch-freeze (including freeze all) using benstat's Sonar Plus... I use it all the time. There's one button for freeze selected tracks and another to un-freeze selected tracks....

As to how it hurts my hard drive? I don't see how it's any worse on it/them... All it does (freeze) is render a file of the processed track which is then simply streamed... But if your drive is too full and all those files are fragmented trying to find space, it will tug at the drive harder.... so just use your drive(s) until they're relatively full, but not too full...! ;-)
