This way if you import a song from BiaB you can tell immediately if it was frozen. Similar to the BiaB mixer only on the tracks view. Last edited by Rob Helms; 12/29/23 07:05 AM.

One of the big differences between Band-in-a-Box and RealBand is how they approach generation and regeneration. Band-in-a-Box can automatically initiate regeneration when the program senses a change in the song file. RealBand regenerates only at user request. Why is a freeze button needed?

I'm asking for more information about why the suggestion was made, what prompted Rob to think RealBand tracks need a freeze snowflake? How will having freeze snowflakes on each track help a RealBand user since Band-in-a-Box and RealBand approach regeneration differently. I suspect the event that prompted +++ this thread +++ initiated the suggestion. But I may be wrong and the two threads may be unrelated. Presently RealBand does not recognize frozen or unfrozen track status on a SGU file created in Band-in-a-Box. I suspect Rob actually wants three RealBand wishlist requests, (1) RealBand to recognize the frozen or unfrozen status of all tracks in a SGU file created in Band-in-a-Box, (2) have a snowflake symbol visibly report the frozen or unfrozen status of the SGU file and (3) reconstruct all frozen tracks so they will be the same as they are in Band-in-a-Box. Here again, I likely am way off base. That is why I'm requesting Rob provide more detail.

Having freeze buttons would give that information upfront without a bunch of digging to find out and also give the ability to release that without having to go in and release each one separately.

rharv Veteran Joined: May 2000 Posts: 21,657 Mi., USA	How I deal with it here is a simple method, but probably not for everyone. Once I open a BiaB file in RB I am done generating the whole song all the time. So I simply use the Make All Tracks regular Tracks option. Then RB generates whatever track(s) & sections I select. Essentially it is a reverse workflow. RB generates nothing unless you specifically select the track(s)/region. Otherwise, why did you leave BiaB at that point(?) Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
