Category: Key Maps

NB: You need REAPER 2.52 or later version installed, for Item Freeze to work.

Check 'Do not process muted tracks' in Reaper\Preferences\Audio.

*************************************************************************************************************

This is a macro keymap for using freeze in Reaper. It includes a fast and simple freeze for track items, and a full freeze for all track types (Normal/Folder/Child/Buss).

Both types of freeze are fully restorable, and you can also toggle the state off/on while frozen...unfreezing also deletes the source file to the recycle bin. Neither unfreeze action should delete your original files.

*************************************************************************************************************

Download the FreezePak, and follow the instructions.

Install SWS.exe and put Reaper_Xenakios_Commands.dll in Reaper\Plugins, THEN start Reaper.

Press shift-/ (?), click on import, doubleclick Freeze.ReaperKeymap

(then press asterix (*) to see only the Freeze shortcuts...they fit with REAPER's default mapping)

Select the track(s) to freeze, and then:

1. Choose either a fast Item Freeze (uses 'apply fx' for simple tracks with items), or

2. Choose a slower, comprehensive Track Freeze (works on ALL track types, normal/folder/child/buss, except those with pre/post fx sends)
