Disable track with high-latency effects from playback in Multi-track mode.

Question

HelloI have Audition CS6 5.0.2 & USB Audio Interface with ASIO drivers, so I am working in Multi-track mode, there are like 10 tracks and on some of them there are pretty "heavy" VST effects (applied in section, including Guitar Rig VSTs, also build-in "Full reverberation", which is marked with red color) - all these make real-time playback and recording unbearable, with all effects enabled. For some reason, switching off the effects (green button) won't  help, since he's still assessing to them - in my case, I don't know why, as far as they loaded in the rack. Only removing all "heavy" effects from the rack completely will help to get rid of dropouts, stuttering, etc. I know that "M" button is only muting the track, while he is still used in the playback, although not hearable. Is there a way to temporally exclude(grey out or something) a track from playing in Multi-track mode without deleting it completely, with all the effects properly set, etc.? Thank you.

The usual solution to this is to do what it says on the warning that pops up when you apply an effect like Full Reverb:

If you close the warning, then you get to see the pre-render button rather more clearly:

This will take a few seconds (usually) but will pre-apply the effect temporarily to the track so that it doesn't have to be calculated in real time during playback. It's still possible to undo this to make changes, so don't worry about that; it just makes playback possible.

Because Audition streams files directly from your HD, it's not possible to calculate results in advance unless you make that an active process beforehand - which is what pre-rendering is for; just loading the effects means nothing to the system at all.
