I LOVE ProChannel FX Chains!!
I just had to come out of my X2-bubble for 2secs and say I love ProChannel FX Chains!!!! Here are a few ones I've made so far.. I don't like that they don't allow changing the knob-, button- and fader-graphics though.. Really hope they'll fix this later on. (I never used FX Chains before it was introduced into PC and will never use it outside pro channel.. That's why I don't care that the backgrounds will look like crap in an ordinary FX Chain) ;P

☄ Helpful
I Agree, they make workflow much better and screen cluter much less. Here are a few I have been playing around with.

Pretty cool. We won't likely be allowing custom knobs/faders in the ProChannel soon, as they need to be shared between FX Chains 2.0 and ProChannel FX Chains - each with different dimensions and spacing.

@Bill - will you be offering some customization options for us to choose from? I would like to easily change the appearance to some of the chains. fx chains are very cool!

Not sure I understand the question. You can change the background right now, as the folks above have demonstrated.

Thanks Bill - I get that. What I mean is something in the order of different theme components included with the stock x2 install for fxchains. I think the other examples are from people doing some graphic work up front and then loading that work into a fxchain.
I know I can do this - I've even used images from family photos just goofing around. Which is kind of cool.
I think for some of us (me) - I would like see a few directories in Cakewalk Contents folder that included background panels, knobs and buttons. I found myself looking for these ghost folders with both x1 and x2.
I really just like to quickly personalize a few chains with you guys at cake doing all the up front work while I sit around and drink tea. :)

Well, I'm willing to share my little stash: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4795919/FXChainBGs.zip I made a lot of these, and I'm no graphic designer... But perhaps you'll find them useful. Maybe in the future we'll get some really cool ones made and install a nice collection into the content folder for you guys.

Thanks for sharing these, Bill! Might be cool if Cakewalk (or someone else) could set up a page for people to submit/share their BGs. It could include track icons as well. I've made a ton of track icons over the years that I'd be willing to share.

Agreed. I think I actually saw some track icons tossed around on the forums over the weekend. I'll talk with a few folks internally and see what they think about making a community space available for stuff like this.

Maybe this is how I can make the Breverb ledgable. Turn it into a fx chain?

I'm being totally thick here.
How do you set the colours for the background?
I right click to select Customize UI, what then?

Here are some of the backgrounds that I used for mine above. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/91965206/FX%20Chain%20Graphics.rar I used a photoeditor to change the colours and textures of the existing panels. Bristol_Jonesy you click on the ... next to the background image then select a new background. Mine where all under cakewalk content in X1 fx graphics. I also changed the preset background image to give the different titles. Bill I agree it would be great to have a place to share this stuff!

This really is a fantastically useful feature. I've just been using it in the FX bin style view, and that's great too.

Actually, looking closer... This is a way to submit FX Chain presets. Not the backgrounds. I'll keep you posted on maybe a new one, just for background images.
