Freeze / Disable a track/instrument to relieve processor stress (& auto-resample)

[thejesiah]

Didn't see this discussed, apologies if it has been. Basically the title...

My tracks are all maxing out. I use lots of samples, delays, etc. Obviously the solution is to Resample those tracks... but I want/need to be able to go back to those tracks and edit them later.
Stopping & muting the tracks doesn't seem to do much to help the processor.
Would be great to go into that track's main sub menu and just kill the track from the memory/SD card stream. Then just have the single resample track to work with, until a week later when I'm ready to adjust that one cowbell that's too loud.
If there's a way to do it automatically - freezing auto generates a resample, like old DAWs - all the better, but not really sweating that.

Hope something like this is possible. Otherwise would love some tips on how others are managing this (10 different saved project versions?)
Thank you all! Really appreciated.

as a temporary work-around, you can render the track, mute it and load the render to another track. kind of the same process, just not automated. call it a 'slow freeze'.

having the original muted but 'untouched' would allow you to go back, edit the track and repeat the process if something wasn't 'right'
