V racks and Virtual instruments

Post by Paulformer »

A problem I'm having with my VI's in V racks is how to freeze tracks? Am I missing something? To freeze or even bounce a track you have to select the MIDI track and its corresponding v instrument track and if the v instrument is in a v rack I can't see how to select it. The freeze and bounce command stays greyed out in the menu. I really like using VI's v-racks but I have to freeze some tracks. Can anyone help please ?

What I usually do is bounce, not freeze, and that works fine as long as the outputs match. I don't like freezing as it happens in realtime and essentially is bouncing at a slower process as far as I am concerned.

If you return VI audio to an aux track, freeze should work. It does here.

Thank you both. I will be investigating further with your input (and output!)
