More and more products like Logic and Cubase SX2 has it now (even Muzys has it, I think. That's a cheap sequenser!). Why Cakewalk didn't include it in Sonar 3 I don't understand... :confused:

I've read the Sonar newsgroup over at news.cakewalk.com the last week trying to make a decision if I should jump or not (using ProAudio now). This topic came up and someone answered with a method that he and the other participants seemed to prefer over freezing that Sonar actually supported. I don't want to have to find that thread again (it's to lively there) and as I'm not yet a Sonar user I didn't memorize it. But it was in the last few days if you're really interested (I think deja has it).

Sorry to be so vague - but it sounded important to you and I'd feel bad if I didn't give you the lead.
 
I'm guessing the function is bouncing down (which is the only thing Sonar supports when we talk about freeze), but that involves a lot of work. Logic and Cubase do this automaticly, and it's so easy to use!

GIVE ME FREEZE! :D

it only takes 3 clicks in SONAR. Here is the recipe (from Scott Reams)
1) Select MIDI/Audio tracks for DXi.
2) Edit/Bounce to Tracks, unchecking all boxes... using the DXi audio track as the destination.
3) Disable softsynth in rack.

Yes, but why use 10 clicks when you can use 1? ;)

I think Cakewalk will listen to me. After all they did when I wanted to enable input monitoring without arming the track... :D
 
Mail to whom? Tech support? Can't find a Research and Development Department. And in Sales it will probably just be picked up by a sales woman who doesn't know what we are talking about.
 
Try telling them in their forum. Some developers used to show up in the newsgroups. So I expect it to happen there too.
 
Btw - if it works like at my place - the developers (including me) doesn't get very much input what gets developed - just how...
 
And while were are making suggestions, why doesn't the mute button stop everything working in the track? For quite a while I thought muting was a way to minimize load on the CPU, but apparently the plug-ins go on using CPU power.

I know it might take a little longer to mute/unmute and perhaps be audible during playback if several plug-ins are affected. But whether you want that or not could be selected in "preferrences".

No, the Archive function (right-click on a track, and select Archive) does minimize the CPU load. Muting a track will only stop the sound...
 
I think I prefer it as it is. I only start archiving when I know I'm not going to use the tracks or I'm getting dropouts.

Sorry, I never got around to using that. Like with most computer programs you only use about 10-20% of the features. You can spend your time reading manuals or just get the job done with some basic features, knowing there is probably a smarter way. Still, now and then you discover an important feature, you have overlooked, and add it to your personal repertoire.
 
That's why these forums are great! I mean, I'm still learning new tricks! :)
