•Drag frozen MIDI clips into audio tracks.
When performing edits on frozen tracks that contain time-based effects such as reverb, you
should note that the audible result may be different once the track is again unfrozen, depending
on the situation. This is because, if a track is frozen, the applied effects are not being calculated
at all, and therefore cannot change their response to reflect edited input material. When the
track is again unfrozen, all effects will be recalculated in real time.
A Frozen Arrangement Track with a Reverb Tail.
Frozen Arrangement View tracks will play back any relevant material extending beyond the
lengths of their clips (e.g., the “tails“ of Reverb effects). These frozen tails will appear in the Ar-
rangement as crosshatched regions located adjacent to their corresponding clips. They are
treated by Live as separate, “temporary“ clips that disappear when unfrozen, since the effect is
then calculated in real time. Therefore, when moving a frozen clip in the Arrangement, you will
usually want to select the second, frozen tail clip as well, so that the two remain together.
For frozen Session clips, only two loop cycles are included in the frozen clip, which means that
clips with unlinked clip envelopes (page 275) may play back differently after two loop cycles
when frozen.
The samples generated by the Freeze Track command are stored in your temporary recording
folder until you save your Live Set, at which point they are moved to the following project folder
sub-directory: Samples/Processed/Freeze. Please note that freeze files for tracks that contain
an External Instrument or External Audio Effect will be discarded immediately when unfreezing.
You can also decide to flatten frozen tracks, which completely replaces the original clips and
devices with their audible result. The Flatten command is available from the Edit menu.
