Creating a hotkey for an effect?

Not sure but maybe you can create a button in the Custom Module to immediately get you to (or close to) the options you want quickly.
 
Cheers.

Oh... sorry. The Custom Module is new in Sonar 2015 (Artist, Professional, Platinum). I should not have assumed you had the latest version.
 
Unfortunately I doubt you'll be able to find a way to get at it quickly. Take a look through keyboard shortcuts list though (in Edit > Preferences). MAYBE there is something in there that you can custom bind but I doubt it.
 
I'm still not even sure the Custom Module would do this either but it should.
 
However smarter folks than I may have a solution for you.
 
Cheers.

See, this is what infuriates me about Sonar.  I bought X3 in December.  I didn't realize that the Xn series was now changed to 2015 (btw - the payment went through in 2015).  Not even a year.  And they want $80 to upgrade.

This is inexcusable.  Why the heck should I buy the new version?  So that in three months they can come out with something completely different, and "offer" to upgrade me for another $100?
 
They should take a page from MS, who FINALLY did something right.  Instead of charging users for Windows 10, they gave it away.  I've been using Cakewalk since 1984.  That was Cakewalk 2.0 for DOS.  I bought every single upgrade through Pro Audio 9, then eventually I bought Sonar 8, then waited until I got Sonar X3. 

BIAB is pulling the same crap.  You buy a new version in December, and in July they come out with an entirely new version - not a free update - and expect you to pay for it. 

Enough ranting, sorry to bend your ear.  I just find this incredibly frustrating.  I had no idea there was a new version, the Xn line was ended, and they want mo money mo money mo money.

Seriously call support. It's worth a shot.
 

 
Absolutely. I'm almost certain there was a grace period, but no one in this forum can wave a magic wand and fix things. Support can. 

The whole thing has actually become moot now with the new rolling upgrades/subscription scheme.
 
In the old days I would have said the grace period for new releases/upgrades could have been a bit longer or maybe there could be more leeway for those just wandering in with boxed releases (like I did) but that's all gone.
 
The new system kills ALL of that shiz and does give way more control/protection to the user.
 
That said, realex, once you start looking at the new way Sonar releases work you are likely going to have a momentary freak out. On the surface it almost seems like the crummy Adobe subscription based model but it is NOT at all.
 
I'm just preparing you for the initial shock. We had streams of freakouts about this that have finally settled down and the consensus is it's all good and cool. So if you have questions I'll put myself out there for you to ask general stuff and of course you can ask support but I'm sure if you get over the initial shock of what it looks like (at first) you'll realize it's really pretty slick.
 
Essentially nothing changes unless you want it to (the only difference is now you can pay monthly IF YOU WANT).
 
Also if you get the free grace period upgrade (which you should) then you have a whole year to sort out the details so you should be totally golden.
 
Again... best of luck to ya. You are almost certainly going to dig the new Sonar. It's like X3 but way better.
 
Cheers.
