Hah, there's definitely a time and place for Underbelly. That said, I love how casually he'll blow my mind. Lots of great options on YT for audio production, freaking brilliant minds all around.
Another tip; In session view: after freezing a midi clip, on a Mac hold down option key and grab midi clip and drag to audio track and release: instant audio clip....no need to flatten.

Total noob question. So, if you freeze a track that has a ton of plugins on it, like multiple compressors etc, my assumption is that all of the work/tweaking put in with all of the plugins will remain in the Frozen track, as well as the flattened one. You can then manipulate (mix) the track like you would any other audio track with additional tools?
It's like food. Freezing means you can't work with in the kitchen until you've thawed it. it can be raw or cooked food. Flattening is like you've now made fried chicken. You can use that chicken Amy way you'd like, but it will still be the chicken you cooked.
I was just wondering when I use delay compensation it’s causing more delay on my frozen and flattened tracks and I’ve looked in the manual and I’ve tried to find online the solution to this problem and I can’t find it anywhere. I’m just wondering what are the pros and cons of having delay compensation on for a frozen or flatten track please and thank you.
TIP: Commit to audio BUT also save the track along with instruments and effects by saving the clip file, ALC in any folder, preferably the project folder. So if you have any regrets you can bring the track back in, plus no blue freeze lines.
Keep trying to find a reason to go from bitwig, back to ableton. I resample alot. In bitwig, you start manipulating audio, adding fx, modulators, then bounce. It creats a new track with ONLY the audio you selected to bounce, not the full track. In ableton....all the stuff in this video. Works with audio, midi, vst's etc. In Ableton, Its like setting up a new track, switching it to resample, setting loop markers then playing the track while recording on the new track. Only difference, bitwig does this with a single button press. I really like ableton but bitwig keeps surprising me and makes me work differently than all the same stuff i used to do in ableton. Ableton is still great thought. It has simpler and a better piano roll.
Which VST? Are you on PC? Maybe try increasing your buffer size and see if that helps. If it's a heavy CPU process before you flatten, maybe something is glitching?
@@MusicTechOfficial thanks for the tip, im using mainly monopolyu by korg legacy collection very weird :( it happends at the end of the loop, and not in the middle, so kind of solves it if i do a very long loop that i know i wont leave it till the end thank again for replying
everytime I freeze and flatten a track, when i re-open my project, the files are missing and not recoverable. everytime. if anyone can help me with this let me know please. Havent found anything.
Thanks for this video. Sidenote: it appears that freezing only works for midi tracks with an internal sound. You cannot freeze a midi track which plays an external synth.
Sorry, Derin. Not sure I quite understand the question. What sort of hardware are you looking for? Can you clarify what you mean by wav styles? Thanks! -Will

This is awesome if you want to convert a cpu-hungry kontakt instrument to audio, while retaining all of your fx. Thanks a lot for this.
Bruh....this tip got me rethinking my whole life lol. Big thanks.
You saved my Ableton Live usage by this tip. How do I thank you a trillion times. Thanks so very much
Thank you, i forgot how to do this and was searching for 10 minutes to find the shortcut lol
Just tried this in Live 11. Copy and pasting the frozen MIDI to an Audio track also works and keeps the midi in its track.
not many times do you subscribe to a channel after watching 1 video.
simple and straight to the point; can't wait to see what else you have!
Literally everything I needed from this video!! Precise!!! Great work I’m now a subscriber 🤘🏾👌🏾

Short, sweet and to the point. Cheers 👊
This tutorial is PERFECT! Exactly what I needed! Thanks!
wonderfully simple and clear video thank you
What's the difference then, between flattening and converting to audio?
thanks for a no fuss clear explanation
This has been so helpful.
So clearly explained❤

Been waiting for a way to freeze midi tracks controlling kontakt instruments. Can only freeze the main kontakt track...

After I freeze and flatten how do I send the audio by wetransfer? Do you have a detailed video for this? Thanks!
Very clear and helpful video
i just did it 2day thank u wonderful workflow.
How do you flatten into mono instead of stereo. I don't want my Kicks and Bass in stereo
you figured that out+

How do you freeze a loop of severel tracks ? Like bounce in place on Logic?
Nice video thanks! (also, what camera are you using to record yourself? I like the quality of it haha!)
Great tutorial thank you
is there a way to flatten as a mono if the instrument is a mono instrument?
Thank you very much for this x
What happens you freeze the track and it says "it has no audio output to freeze" ?
thx) do you know how to make freezing faster?

i have a probelm, when i freeze n flatten some vst i get a slight anoying clipping at the end, anyone exxpiriencing this? tips?

yeah, you'd have to use resampling to do it
I just froze a track with serum as I wrote this comment lol so you can.
@@IanEnkema no they mean a hardware synth, not a plugin
Thank you. Very helpful.
thanks for the great video
How to flatten to be a mono track?
on point ....😎😎😁😁perfect
Is there any hardware which sync with keyboard to play wav styles
Sorry, Derin. Not sure I quite understand the question. What sort of hardware are you looking for? Can you clarify what you mean by wav styles? Thanks! -Will
@@MusicTechOfficial like machine drum

@@MusicTechOfficial in this machine can we play Beats which were saved in pendrive
It's always good to commit. Is what I always say!
🔥🔥🔥 Thanks a lot dude 🔥🔥🔥
I love you.
As a new Ableton user coming from Pro Tools this just seems like too much work.
how would you freeze audio in pro tools tho if you dont mind me asking? im figuring pro tools out but found no such feature
jeez ...nothing amaze me more than jux the colour combination in the whole video
