Freeze Files

The temporary freeze files are saved in a folder named “Freeze Files” which is created in

the root directory of your project folder. Usually, you won’t need to access these freeze

files directly.

Logic manages these freeze files automatically in the background: They are created

during the Freeze process, will play back in place of the original tracks (as long as these

tracks are frozen), and will be deleted as soon as the Freeze button of the

corresponding track is deactivated.

In some cases, however, it might be handy to use freeze files directly: One example

would be if you wanted to freeze all of your tracks, and use the freeze files for a remix

in another studio (on DSP-based systems, for example). For such situations, it’s possible

to adapt the bit depth of the freeze files to meet your needs: in Preferences > Audio you

can change the Freeze File format from the default 32 Bit (float) to 24, or even 16 Bit.

Please note that only the 32 Bit float setting will ensure that the audio quality of frozen

tracks is identical to that of the original tracks. In many cases, the 24 Bit setting will

have no audible impact—but will reduce the disk traffic, further minimizing CPU usage,

and allowing you to access the freeze files as audio files.

Refresh Freeze Files

The Audio > Refresh Freeze Files menu function (and key command of the same name)

allow you to refresh the current freeze files. This may become necessary when global

changes are made that also affect the playback of the frozen tracks (tempo changes, for

example).
