Is there a way to bounce my tracks while maintaining the sidechain fx of the other tracks?

[SoSpiro]

ie.

- I have track A sidechained to track B 

-I have track C sidechained to track A

-i bounce track A and deactivate it to save cpu

-now track C loses all of the sidechain info because it's not sidechained to the me bounced track.  Now I have to manually change track C to sidechain to the newly bounced track.

 

-I have DOZENS of plug-ins being so-called l sidechained in this delicate balance and It would be too tedious to manually take note and manually change the sidechain information (though it's an option).

 Is there a streamlined way to get all of these bounced tracks to automatically transfer the sidechain data ?  It would help immensely.

I guess the best solution I have is to prioritize sidechaining to buses over individual tracks for convenience when reassigning those sidechain inputs.

I'll probably actually just write all of my side chains down too.

Why not Freeze A instead of bounce and deactivate?

Hmm.  I'll try that.  Maybe I was just too used to this workflow to even consider that.  
 

if I freeze cpu intensive tracks, can I bounce then frozen as well?  I've noticed if I bounce when my cpu is high, the export isn't accurate to not DAW.

found a combo of bouncing, freezing, and deactivating works best.  thanks for the simple solution.
