Rendering quantizing 'permanent'?

Done a lot of quantizing on this tune. It's always been in the back of my head that quantizing uses up more processor - I notice a few notes dropping every now and then. I seem to remember that one can make-the-quantized-nots permanently quantized, which uses less processor. Am I misremembering?

Another thought I had. This job is getting bigger than originally intended. So I've got scores of tracks. Could someone point me to the tutorial about 'freezing' tracks?

Actually, now that I remember it's called 'freezing' I can go look for myself.

But any help would be most appreciated...

Well, you can use that space at the back of your head for other, more useful and true information now. It doesn't.

No, it's there. Select the region(s) and choose this:

Freezing tracks will not reduce their numbers. Maybe you mean Tracks Stacks?

What I was thinking of was 'freezing'? some tracks so they aren't using up processing power. Have I got that right?

I'll check out Tracks Stacks ...

I'm a filmmaker (who spent 20 years scoring films before I started to make my own). Now my dilemma is that I spend six months shooting and editing a film and then get the lovely opportunity to score my own ... when I'm exhausted with the film, bored out of my gourd with the material, and so in need of a Logic refresher course ... all at once.

That's why I appreciate your generous help X 10.

I'm off to study up on Tracks Stacks and Freezing.

Muchas gracias Erik,

Ben

I imagine it does use a very, very small amount of CPU as it's a real-time operation of moving non-quantized data to a quantized location, at least I think it's a real-time operation?

Pancenter,

I like the part about that space in the back of my head getting freed up. And have set off looking for 'more useful and true information'.

All the best,
