Freezing A Folder Track Does Not Freeze Its Contents
I was working on a session that was rapidly growing large, so I had my track stacks organized into closed folders, some of them nested. I needed to go back to a smaller buffer size and felt just freezing the closed folders would automatically freeze all the enclosed tracks. It did not! Am I missing something here? Logically, shouldn't freezing a folder also freeze its contents? At the very least there should be the option to do either. Is there a way to do this that I haven't yet discovered?

Re: Freezing A Folder Track Does Not Freeze Its Contents
Are the Folder Tracks Basic or Routing? Of course, since Folder Tracks are so new, this may be something for a future update

Re: Freezing A Folder Track Does Not Freeze Its Contents
I RTFM to learn more about this, and it says "Only the audio output of the Routing Folder track will be frozen (or unfrozen), audio from member tracks that are not routed through the Routing Folder are not included."
Fair enough if unrouted member tracks are not frozen (though I think every member should be frozen), but this implies that member tracks that are routed, should also freeze. That doesn't happen.

No, not the tracks. The OUTPUT of routing track should freeze.

Yeah if you think of a routing folder as just a re-badged aux track (because, let's face it, that's basically what it is) then it follows the exactly the same rules as an aux track: i.e. if you freeze an aux track, you don't expect all the tracks routed to it to freeze as well.

Is there anyone here who would say there is no benefit in having member tracks freeze with one click on the folder? There should be an option for this, just as there are options to either save a closed folder track as a preset with or without its member tracks.

Re: Freezing A Folder Track Does Not Freeze Its Contents
Yes, that too. But the major value of frozen tracks in IM (humble) O is not in freezing audio clips. What's to be gained from that if there are no plugins inserted on the folder? The real benefit is the ability to freeze the whole signal path with its plugins and whatever, thereby easing the CPU load.
All I'm suggesting is that the option should be made available because it's useful, and will save time.
