Yes I had thought about doing that : bouncing down the drums to a stereo track and so on. The disadvantage is that it then becomes a hassle to go back and change something. As I am not a very experienced mixer it is likely that it will happen to me a lot... Thanks for the tip though!<br> <br>Does anyone know if the freeze function in Ardour includes the plugins and their automation ?<br>I haven't tried it yet but I just thought of it... and I will give it a go.<br><br>Robin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"> 2009/12/30 Tommy yeah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:allornothin.tommy@gmail.com">allornothin.tommy@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <br>Something I tried with a slower machine to use all of the plugins that I wanted was to mix down one effect at a time, so if i wanted a reverb on my drum tracks and eq's on all the rest of my tracks but couldn't run the session with that many effects I would solo my drums tracks with the reverb, mix those down to a single wet track and load the mixdown track back into my session so I no longer had to run the effect realtime.<div> <div></div><div class="h5"><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 1:04 PM, Robin Darlington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robin.darlington@free.fr" target="_blank">robin.darlington@free.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Ok,<br>Thanks.<br>I have installed xubuntu-desktop, it works fine but I am not noticing a huge difference in performance.
