Mixing

To Unfreeze a Track

1. Right-click on a track.

2. Select Freeze-Unfreeze Track from the menu that appears.

SONAR discards the bounced audio, restores the original audio, and

enables the FX bin. Audio will be re-bounced if Freeze is chosen again.

To Do a Quick Unfreeze of a Track

1. Right-click on a frozen track.

2. Select Freeze-Quick Unfreeze Track from the menu that appears.

SONAR hides and mutes the bounced audio, restores the original audio,

and enables the FX bin. Bounced audio is retained, however, and toggling

between Quick Freeze and Quick Unfreeze should be instantaneous.

To Quick Freeze a Track

1. Right-click on a track that you did a Quick Unfreeze on.

2. Select Freeze-Quick Freeze Track from the menu that appears.

Only available after a Quick Unfreeze, the Quick Freeze function redisplays

and unmutes the bounced audio instantaneously
