Reduce CPU usage like Freeze in Ableton

[Mohammadyarahmad]

Hello,
How can we reduce CPU/RAM usage in Reason?
Is there a Freeze option like Ableton?

What do you suggest for big projects?

Thanks

There is no Freeze option. But there is a "Bounce In Place" feature. Right click on one or more clips and choose Bounce in Place. Reason will render an audio file for each clip, put them in an audio track, and mute the original clips.

For VSTs, you can also press the "power" button on the rack device after the above procedure. A lot of VSTs still consume a decent amount of CPU when receiving no input.

Good point!

All of this just says that Reason really needs a proper Freeze function, amongst so many other things.

If we mute a track, will it reduce CPU usage?

It can do if muted in the Seq., depends what is in the chain..

Looks like Ableton Live , in a new update (12.2), is replaceing the "Freeze"
function and instead using "bounce in place" as we do in Reason.

I haven't tried the beta yet but my understanding is that bounce in place is additional to the freeze and flatten options, is this not the case?

From Release Notes:
"The Freeze and Flatten Track command and the Flatten command for frozen tracks have been renamed to Bounce Track in Place."

Ah I see. So freeze is still there, that's good.

Bounce Mixer Channel. Then mute and disable the original but save incase you need it later.

And to that person who said to use a different saw for large files - No. You are doing it all wrong.
