Problems with clipping, Get your fix here..
I know we've all had this problem before...
You're bout 2/3 of the way finished with your massive 60odd channel track, you've layered so many EFX that your tune is nao giving your CPU a coughing fit its clipping so much, and every time you go to work on finishing it up, you cant even properly listen to it in you arrangement view.
Several years ago I used to just export the whole thing to my desktop and listen to it on my media player, and edit the tune from there. But lets be honest here, this is no way to go about it. Hell there is such a stifling upon creativity with this approach.
Enter the master stroke...
Take all those EFX heavy channels, the ones that are eating up all your CPU processing capabilities. And single them out. Grab em up one at a time and export them into single .wav's. Like your making your own sample pack. Nao go back into your project and delete them or turn them off. Drag drop you previously exported sample into your mix. Nao its just a sound no EFX laden burden on your processor or soundcard. Your CPU usage meter drops down, and voila no more clipping. You are nao free to finish up that starwarsesque track free of irritating chops and stutters

I think he means this.
I don't know how it works with other programs, but in FL you can smart disable every plugin, this sort of means that after a certain set of seconds of the effect not being used it (smart) disables the plugin until it is used again in your song, thus really helping with cpu intensive projects where you have a lot of sick plugins.
See pic:
You can also do it for all the plugins in your project.

But you shouldn't do it on all effects. Long reveerbs and delays are not
suitable for this.
Seeing as it cuts the plugin after a certain set of seconds after it being triggered(for example like a note in the piano roll)
So when you have a long delay or reveerb it cuts the effect after a certain set of seconds(when its still in effect), you obviously do not want this.
I don't know if other programs also have a feature like this but fl does so others probably have it also.

I thought when you "freeze" a channel your daw does all the processing pre-emptively and then just plays the channel as is during playback, thus freeing up CPU
