First post here, so not sure im posting this correct.
I have a studio and create a lot of songs, and record a lot of artists. Usually the process of writing music and the process of mixing is very blended together today. If you do most of the recording digitally this usually ends up with Cubase projects eating a lot of CPU. Sometimes when, say, the song is 90% complete you realise you have to throw in some more harmonics in the chorus. To be able to do this well you have to keep the latency low (and the buffersize to a minimum) which might result in that the project cant even handle the playback due to a stressed CPU.
I usually solve this by exporting a Wave of the whole song, creating a new project, do the recording there, export the new recording, and import it back in the first project. I know im able to freeze tracks and all that, but it just feels that freezing maybe 50 individual tracks and the unfreezing them is a whole lot more time demanding.
How do you guys handle this?
Wouldn’t it be nice with a feature like “freeze project”, creating a bounced wave with the whole song and deactivating the project (but still leave it open), leaving you with the choice to create new tracks in the same project that you can record to, and when you are done just “unfreeze project” and boom, there you go.
The steps 1. export wave, and 2. deactivate/activate project, would be much faster then either freezing tracks individually or creating a new project for recording.
