Remember this idea (third post down):

You did not like that idea...

Essentially, what I believe will happen (IF!) "freeze part of a real track" arrives, it would probably be a "placement" of these frozen sections in timeline... Meaning, most likely they would act as a separate mixer TRACKS with "before" and "after" muted and the rest frozen. At least it seems the most logical thing to me.

I believe idea of opening the mixer to more channels is far more flexible and will give options and control far greater than just freezing sections. However, with limited time for music for many, I can understand why someone would just want to "freeze" the section and forget about it. Perhaps a button on the mixer:"Keep It Simple" would do the trick? By having that checked, it could create those duplicate tracks for you, assign mute at bars and freezing that section - Automation! Keeping duplicate Mixer tracks hidden, so you would see only your "normal" mixer, and sections as "frozen", but folks who want take advantage of more mixer tracks will be able to expand these tracks and do whatever they wish.

To me, both items (more mixer tracks and section freeze (bar by bar regen)) are very similar in nature...which is still more mixer tracks smile




Quote by VideoTrack from the link in the post above:

"IMHO, you shouldn't need to go to an external DAW to get a Band 'IN A BOX' song to sound the way you want, and you shouldn't need to go to a DAW or have to bounce tracks to get Multi-Riff to work.
These features should all be part of the program, not requiring externalization."


VideoTrack explains it better than I've ever been able to. His explanation is exactly what the APT feature provides and has potentially been available to users for the last six years. The end result is you can have more complex and better track arrangements as audio files for use in your DAW or choose to complete your project with no need for any external DAW program.
