Hi again,

Let me preface what I'm about to type by saying that I might be completely wrong. If that's the case, I'm sure someone will jump in and correct me

From reading the forums and comments made by some experienced users, I've formed the opinion that the "Freeze" function does not create an audio file for a frozen track. If it did, the SGU or MGU file would be tens of megabytes for each frozen track (whereas it's only 20KB or so). My understanding is that the freeze function writes a set of instructions so that a track can be identically created each time the song is loaded. The generation process is necessary because it implements the instructions required to assemble the frozen track.

Your clarinetist would hear the same frozen track that you created because his generation of the track would have followed the exact instructions that were saved when the track was frozen.

As I said at the start, I might be wrong. Let's see what others have to say!

All the best,
Noel

P.S. By comparison, Realband does save audio information in its SEQ file. This is why Realband files can be a couple of hundred megabytes.
