Is there a way to freez third party plugins to share logic project ?

Is there any way to freeze all plugins! So that a second person who does not have vst serum plugins can play the sound from the frozen plugin and just mix it? No one will lose anything on the CPU and it will even save memory and you can keep working.

There should be a way to do this instead of ripping/boucing stems! Terrible idea with freeze option! it is 2021 they could more professional i think! It is not as it should be! It's good for apple community who use Logic Pro !

I like having a project! There are 100s of tracks to freeze plugins! Apple can force all vst/synth makers that work with the Mac platform to adapt their software without even licensing those plugins! Just make a special option to freeze plugins! with the possibility to play the designed sound for producers who don't have this synth! This is a better option than mixing stems and recording tracks.

I could just mix it and send it back! with low CPU usage! like with stems project!

Hi,

In Logic when you freeze a track it can be played by another party who does not have the soft instrument (if a MIDI/Soft Inst track) ) or plugins. They still can mix the track ( pan, level, aux busses ) but they cannot adjust or change the source instrament or plugins depending on the freeze mode. If they unfeeze they will not be able to play the track since the plugins are now active. From the documentation here are the Freeze Modes:

Source Only: Freezes the track signal without any effects plug-ins. When selected, the Freeze button appears blue. This Freeze mode is useful when using processor-intensive software instruments or flex modes.
Pre Fader: Freezes the track signal including all effects plug-ins. When selected, the Freeze button appears green.

As for the ability to use a third party plugin without a licence that is on the third party to implement and not Apple. Most third parties offer trial versions as a quick workaround.

Hope this helps.

Don
