Personally I find the Pro Channel to be extremely light on CPU and would not hesitate to configure the inbuilt EQ for this purpose.

I love the idea of ProChannel and have used it exclusively in the past... however I just find that I have a mental block somehow due to the interface/workflow. One example of many is that if I expand the EQ, it covers up the MSR buttons. I know this seems small, but its just little interface quirks like this which have turned me off it.
 
It's a shame because in concept it really is awesome. I just think it needs a huge interface/workflow overhaul.

You can dock the ProChannel on the other side of the track view.

You can also float the ProChannel so that opening the EQ doesn't cover up MSR

However, what's wrong with the Sonitus?
 
 

Sonitus! Jeeze! Lol
 
Thanks :-)

the sontius suite still has its uses. trust me.
the QC EQ I use for almost all my high pass and low pass filtering. for three reasons:
1- because it is low on CPU's
2- because its easy to set up
3- and most important it does the job well.
im not a huge fan of the rest of the QC EQ believe it or not, but the LP + HP functions you cant beat.
I typically still use at least 1 sonitus plug in on almost every project.
 
yes there are better PI's out there, but once you've learned to master a tool, you use it to its highest potential.
that's sonitus. ive been using them so long, ive squeezed every once out of them.
 
I would just give the QC a shot. (you probably have) but if not...try them out.

and I totally agree...who forgot to put a solo button on the QC EQ ?

Check out Week 57 in Friday's Tip of the Week. Don't be put off by the title, I'm pretty sure it will do what you want and then some.

I forget about the Sonitus.  The QuadCurve is right there in the PC, which is probably why I mostly use it to HPF all the tracks.  What I probably should do instead is use two Fx Chains, with the Sonitus as a HP filter in the first one and then the QuadCurve would be available should I need it later on in the signal chain.  Sounds like a new PC Preset option.  I rarely use the Fx Bin anymore.

what flavor of Sonar are you running the 700 on?  How much are you looking for?
