Hi Annabelle, I'm sorry, I wasn't by my music computer, and one of the steps I gave in my instruction was foolishly misleading. Below is the corrected version. 1: make sure you are on the synth track you wish to freeze, 2: Hold down Alt and then press Enter to select track from start to end., 3: Hold down Alt and then press R, (Properties sub menu), 4: press F to take you to, (Freeze track), 5: Arrow down until you hear Jaws say, "Freeze Synth", 6: finally press enter, it will take a few seconds for the track to be frozen. This will have frozen just one of the softsynths, simply go to the next softsynth track and repeat the process. To Unfreeze a track all the above applies except number 5: number 5: Simply arrow down until you hear Jaws say, "unfreeze Synth" and then press enter.

I know how to freeze a softsynth in Sonar, but I'm wondering, since I want to divide the softsynth into individual audio tracks, instead of having all the audio on one track, how would I do this? When I try to click on the "Freeze Track" option in the "Freeze Menu" of the "Tracks Menu", JAWS says that the "Freeze Track" option is "unavailable". In other words, the "Freeze Track" option is greyed out. How would I make this so the "Freeze Track" option is available? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4770 (20100114) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com No virus found in this incoming message.
