I must point out that I regret so much that I know very little of the deeper functions of Max, so I don't know if I am asking in the right place. So I was really wondering if any of you know of - or have tried to build a function to save cpu for mostly synth users by doing the following:

Save the audio outputs of the active track/tracks to the memory while listening, later it can also be saved to the harddisk when using less resources. This would drastically improve workflow for true synth + effect freaks which use less data stored in the memory, as well as for audio editing with lots of real time processing. It would basically start saving a track in real time, as long as there are enough resources available to do so whilst playing. That brings me to the best part: Doing nothing and yet getting work done. If you go for a coffee or to take a .. you might as well have some part of ableton not taking a .. unless ofcourse you take your ableton with you on the toilet. But my point is, why not have some small function detect when the user is not sending input for a little while.. or the system is performing with much cpu and memory to spare. This function could start or resume bouncing a piece until it receives a signal from the input/interface or resource management again.

Also this would be nicer than bouncing a track, since the midi and audio are still on the same track (and the bits that have already been bounced could be shown in a thin shade of something and could easily be edited again. I guess this is sort of a sugar coated donut, but I really hope something like this is possible..

Greetings.

Edit: Sorry I didn't really do much research we just posted this here right away, I see some topics that sort of relate, but does anyone know of an advanced version of this ?
