To Do a Quick Unfreeze of a Track
Do one of the following:
• Hold down the SHIFT key and click the track’s Freeze button .
• Right-click on a frozen track and 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.

Only available after a Quick Unfreeze, the Quick Freeze function redisplays and unmutes the
bounced audio instantaneously

• Right-click a synth track or a synth’s MIDI track, and choose Freeze > Freeze Synth from the
menu that appears.

SONAR bounces the synth’s audio data to the synth track. SONAR disables the synth’s output, and
disables the FX bin on the synth track.

• Right-click a synth MIDI or audio track, and choose Freeze > Unfreeze Synth from the menu that

button is not present in the Synth Rack view for that synth. To freeze that synth, right-click the
track or the synth’s MIDI track and choose Freeze > Freeze Synth from the menu that appears.
Note 2: A MIDI track can only be frozen if it is routed to a software instrument.
