I meant the Expanded version of ProChannel.     

Also, you can access the prochannel on frozen tracks now! Yay!

YES! That is fantastic news. Order is restored in the universe. I'm still dumbfounded that Cake made that change to freeze the equalizer along with the printed audio in direct opposition to the way previous SONARs instituted a freeze by simply turning off the equalizer.

Cryophonik - Just click on the Write button on the track and the knobs and buttons on the FX Chain 2.0 will be automatable.

If you're saying that you'd want them on the FX Chain 2.0 window for convenience, I agree, it would be nice.

when all the ProChannel modules are used you need to scroll the screen but it only works in that you have to grab the top/bottom most module by it's title bar and drag up or down. What it does though is force you to swap that module to be topbottom most whether that's what you want or not. Is that  how it's meant to work because if it is that sux.
That's not really a scrollable ProChannel the screen just moves because you're swapping one module for another.

I not too sure what you are saying Mike but if its that PC wont scroll that is not true. It will. Also the modules are collapsible.

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one, but can't you scroll the PC simply by using your middle mouse button?

give us your first impressions.

GREAT STUFF! I love the new Softube Saturation Knob and the PC4K S Type Expander Gate Module in ProChannel Expanded.
The SKYLIGHT GUI seem better and much more snappier too, and it's not a placebo effect.

I upgraded to the Z3TA+ 2 in same bundle...Great stuff..


PROCHANNEL CONSOLE- sound were amazing before the upgrade, now Cakewalk unbelievable have take it one step further...

that's weird because Seth said that there were going to be fixes included in the Expanded update. He alsi said there was no date set yet for when those fixes would trickle down to users who didn't buy the Expanded update. he confirmed that there would be at least one more update for fixes.

As I said the scope of fixes was only relevant to features found in X1 Expanded.   I did confirm that there will be a free update for both X1C and X1 Expanded owners.  From the other thread:
 

1] X1 Expanded does not include fixes for features outside of the scope of the feature set.  IOW - we're not charging you for fixes for another area of SONAR however some fixes & improvement did go into FX Chains for example to support FX Chains 2.0

2] As Seth said a few weeks ago, there will be a free update available for both X1C and X1 Expanded users that will address reported issues.  I don't have a timeline for when this will be available just yet.

 
Sorry for any confusion - this can be discussed in that other thread, please keep this one on topic RE: first impressions.

Is it me or does Sonar load faster now?

If you have it set to always scan your VST plugins on startup - then yes.  The quickscan mode has been improved.

I opted for the X1 Expanded plus Pro Ch Expander/Gate bundle.   I haven't used the features much yet 'in anger' but can safely say I'm already impressed enough with the changes to post a big thumbs up.   In particular, I'm knocked out by FX Chain 2, it will speed my stuff up a lot and forgotten FX settings should be a thing of the past. Again, though, all the improvements look like they'll be useful.

A very small gripe is that I agree with the poster above who had difficulty scrolling Pro Channel.  Since Pro channel came out I've had difficulty viewing it in Track Inspector, and have had to remove stuff from the display to see it all.  Others posted the same problems in the past and even now it won't scroll - maybe something to do with the computer's display settings.  However, Pro Ch will scroll, and is easily visible, in Console View, so it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm working on a Taylor Swift/Melodyne combo that is gonna look as good as it sounds.

If I have to lose another post because of this "Connection closed by remote server" message, you will hear my scream across the border. I mean it. 

I did a little session this morning with the new Expanded version with the PC4K expander/gate. I had some background hiss to clear up on a 6 string acoustic part. I'm impressed with the results. I also did not notice any stability issues after properly integrating both VSTs (Softube and PC4K) in Pro Channel.

I did notice some comments about scrolling issues, so I put it through it's paces expanding/collapsing modules in different screensets. I can confirm that I did not have any problems at all with scrolling (mouse wheel) regardless of the context. It works as I would expect it to, every time.

Kudos to the bakers as I am impressed with this version and especially the potential that this approach offers. I have no reservations in recommending "Expanded". Bravo guys! Me is a happy dude!

Don't have a middle mouse button.
The only way I've been able to get it to scroll is by grabbing the header bar of the top/bottom most module and click and drag. What that does though is swap those 2 modules over because that's also the same way you change the order of modules. I'm open to being taught how to make it scroll but I haven't found it yet.

Bought expanded and gate last night, I'm very impressed, all you need now is a good limiter to add to it :-)
