PT12 - "freeze track" feature
Does anyone know if there is a "freeze track" feature in PT12?
A usable, standalone, non-cloud linked, CPU load reducing, "freeze track" feature similar to what exists in other DAW software? Please don't share links to videos etc., that suggest this feature exists, just actual info. The reason I ask re: standalone is that Avid hasn't mentioned "freeze track" as being one of the new features of PT12, which is weird, and Avid has shown they are willing to link features to the cloud as they did with ProTools | First which only saves to the cloud, not locally. Anybody know? Or do we just have to wait til it gets released. fwiw, if there is a real "freeze track" feature I think the upgrade is worth the $200 for PT standalone users like me. |

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
As I saw it in the live demos yesterday at NAMM it does appear Freeze the track locally, the button for it is not in the Collaboration space

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
Strange Avid is not announcing a freeze track new feature. Here are the new features pages on Avid.com:

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
The posts from "Craig F" & "mesaone" make me cautiously optimistic - a real freeze track feature is worth the $199 upgrade cost for standalone PT I think. Hope to hear more about this. I'll be pleasantly surprised if Avid hasn't done something to cripple this feature in some way - or tie it to HD only - or one of their usual tricks....

If they wanted to turn around the negativity about PT12 a more thorough explanation of the track freeze feature might help. Unless it's crippleware again... |

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
Since it is a necessary feature for the collaboration stuff (even though it's not tied to collab), I doubt it will be HD only. But the demos I've seen were all using HD, so I can't be certain.

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
Thanks for the info - one last repeat - if PT12 standalone includes a workable track freeze feature that isn't tied to the cloud or a cloud account or some other "gotcha" then I think the $199 upgrade is a no brainer and I'm sold. (since I have no brain).

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
Or track freeze could be like expanded metering or vca's - HD only.

Re: PT12 - "freeze track" feature
I can't see paying $200 for a "feature" that's already available.
1) Bounce the track (instrument or audio) to a new Audio track 2) Hide & make inactive the original track 3) Wipe hands on pants & GBTW. Offline bounce & import would probably take about the same time as a freeze (based on using freeze function in Logic, which I didn't find particularly helpful) If you need the routing for sends, etc., duplicate the track but uncheck inserts on the Duplicate pop-up menu & put the bounce on there YMMV Cheers Z |
