I’m wondering if I’m missing something. I’m using one of Ashton Gleckman’s projects as a learning experience, and this is one of the few he posted the Cubase project with some frozen tracks and the audio files belonging to those.
But ideally, I want to duplicate that track to have it intact, then unfreeze one of them and assign the instrument I have in my collection until I get the most similar sound.
But I found that if the track is frozen, there’s no option to duplicate when I right click on it as opposed to any not frozen track.
Did I miss something?

No your not missing anything , just your thoughts of frozen are a little out . Frozen basically stops you from altering the setup on that channel but still allows the processing to take place , so what you need to do is unfreeze the track , then duplicate it and refreeze ,is there a problem with that ?
Well, this is a project from Ashton Gleckman that is about 6 years old, not to mention that he used a lot of instruments I don’t own and can’t afford right now. That means that if I unfreeze that track, my guess is that I couldn’t freeze it again, because for that to happen, I would need to have the original instrument, in this case Metropolis Ark 1.
The other thing I don’t understand is why when a track is frozen you can’t even see the notes editor if you click on the clip.
You can refreeze it with the same midi info , just reassign the midi instrument track to a stock instrument if you are only worried about keeping the midi data . Or , i don’t know if it’s possible , im not on Cubase at the mo but can you Import to project a frozen track ?
just do an export/ender of just that track, then you’ll have it as a wav and can mess around with the original

No, the idea is to keep both the MIDI data (meaning notes and CC automation) and the original sound produced by the original instrument used. To some extent I can, because when I unfreeze I can still keep the frozen audio file.
But I was just wondering if there was a reason behind not being able to duplicate a frozen track into another frozen track just like it, then unfreeze just one of them. Seems to me like the easiest way.
