 ====== Quick Track Freeze in Hosts to Save CPU ======
+** NOTE: Work in Progress ** // Not yet fully validated and may not include recent app changes. //
 This quick method can be used to freeze a track in a host such as AUM when CPU use is getting too high. This guide is written for AUM, but can be used in any host that supports AUFx. The idea is to record the input from an app that is already playing some kind of loop, so that the plugin can be disabled or removed to save CPU.

 This is a good time to save the project so that it can be quickly opened for other tracks.
 ===== Record =====
-If all has gone well we now have a single track set to record a looping input source for a set number of bars. Recording should begin when the host starts and end automatically. When recording ends the audio input will be automatically muted and the loop will begin playing. At that point the input app(s) can be disabled or removed. (

Maximum CPU savings requires removing the input completely. For this reason, saving the session so that the channel can be restored later is recommended.
