MPC Software 2.0 should have a function to freeze Tracks..

Now that Akai has decided to move from version 1.9.x to 2.0 and is stepping into the realm of a full fledged daw they should implement a function to freeze tracks.

This is essential (at least for me it is) in order to step away from Cubase/Sonar.

I want to rebuilt my big Cubase/Sonar projects in MPC software 2.0 and let me explain why:

When I record my vocals into a audio track I also load in a plugin chain (gate/compressor/EQ/Filter/etc.) before sending it to a bus track. I also use a send slot to send the vocals to a fx bus which contains reverb/delay/etc.

When I produce I may end up using 5 or 6 of these tracks. And as you can guess when I hit the play button the playback is going to stutter big time (big enough to make Scatman John jealous).

So in order to prevent this I use the build in freeze function to freeze the audio tracks. The same applies to instrument tracks.

All the daws that I have used have this function build in and I believe this function should be scheduled to be included for the 2.0 release.

Let me know what you guys think..??

I whole heartedly agree, a freeze type functionality that renders the audio on a track, allowing us to free up some much needed cpu from the load of multiple plugins used In a session is essential. "Freeze all" would be magnificent also. If you could find it in your hearts to schedule or begin working toward such functionality, I would be eternally indebted to you

Yep me too.. The bounce to audio feature doesn't cut it for me if it keeps rendering at 16 bit instead of 24 bit. (Useless and probably easy to fix)

Nope.. Problem is still present , Just tested it. Bounced a track to sample, saved it and loaded it in Quick time player and checked it with movie inspector.

It says 16bit.
