Ableton "Freeze Track" functionality => save lots of CPU
Hello
Since we already have the resample functionality, i think it should be easy to implement a "freeze" function as in ableton.
Current Process:
To render a synth track into an audio file, one has to mute all other tracks, record the track and assign the audio to a kit, add it to the arrangement and then mute the old synth track.
Wish:
Press Shift + Record + Track => Freezes the track (renders the synth into a static audio file). The synth track is now frozen (indicated by white track LED). Changes to the synth params are not possible when the track is frozen, because its playing a static audio file. One can "unfreeze" the track by the same process, make changes to params, and freeze again.
This will free up a lot of CPU power and make large arrangements more convenient.
Future Wish:
Export/render all tracks into separate audio files to import them into the DAW for further editing.

I just looked this up today for someone on the mpc forums asking about exporting stems.
Appears it is possible by use of the resample feature. They resample onto sd card and you can then grab them to put in your DAW.
WAV file export / mixdown is on the way

Yes, my guess was that freeze track is a precondition for a full project export. Once you have freeze track, its easier to add a project export function.
