⚡ Edit and Create Without Stopping Playback

One of the most powerful workflow features in Pro Tools is the ability to make changes to your project while playback continues.

During playback you can:

• Create or delete tracks

❄ Track Commit & Track Freeze – Optimize CPU Performance

Large sessions can consume heavy CPU resources. Pro Tools solves this with Track Commit and Track Freeze, two powerful resource-management features.

Track Commit

Track Commit renders processed tracks to audio, freeing up system resources while preserving the original track for editing.

Track Freeze

Track Freeze temporarily renders an entire track, significantly reducing CPU load during large mixing sessions.

These tools allow producers to handle large projects with dozens of plugins efficiently.
