FX Chain ProChannel Module - Sweet!

I posted a while back about putting the Console Emulator as the last effect on tracks and buses and how that seemed to limit the PC's usefulness.  Y'all explained how the FX Chain PC module worked and that it can be used as 'The' Fx Bin right there within the PC.  I knew of Fx Chains and that some were provided in Sonar, but I didn't understand their...elegance.
 
That discussion prompted me to revisit PC Presets and Default Modules and it changed the way I approach mixing.  I don't know what plugins I'll use on each track or bus, but I know I'll use some of them plus the Console Emulator and the built-in QuadCurve PC modules.
 
For tracks and buses I set a simple default Pro Channel which consists of the QC, an empty FX Chain module, and the CE.  I've hidden the Fx Bin in the Console View.  Putting the modules and plugins in a preferred order is a snap within the PC, and you can have more than one FX Chain module.
 
Experienced users know all about this, but if you're like me and still learning these tricks in Sonar, this is a good one to know.

    Nice feature I learn something (more or less) every time I open SONAR. The fun is back
