Hey Guys,
when i want to insert an effect in my resent project, Music creator (and also in Sonar X3 LE) say ( i try my best to translate it to english) : "Limit of FX reached. Please remove an FX first."
Is there really a limit of FX i can use within Music creator (and also Sonar X3 LE)? This would be pretty bad for my resent work...

Yes, MC7 has several limits including a maximum 24 FX, see http://www.cakewalk.com/D...p;help=Comparison.html

And the Sonar X3 LE Version (came with "Beat" magazine) ?

The only information I have about SONAR LE is here https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR-LE. I have never worked with any version of SONAR LE. Full versions of SONAR shown in the link in msg #2 are limited only by the capabilities of the PC.

Alright...thx for the qick response scook. i almost forgot that there are vst`s wich take care of this problem, so not a problem at all. But i would sugesst to the guys from cakewalk to remove this limit for music creator wich in my opinion should be seen as an entry level DAW or as an affordable DAW for people , who can live without all the fancy features (but not without the todays standart basic features of a DAW - like unlimited FX), and not as a better Demo for Sonar that you have to upgrade to sooner or later. Just my two cents...

If you reach the limit, you can Process>Apply Effects which will permanently render the effect to the track, allowing you to remove the effect and add another. You may want to make an uneffected copy of the track first if you later decide that the effect is not right; you can do it again from the copy.
Or, put the effect in a bus and send many tracks to it, utilizing just 1 effect. And using Sends in the tracks, you can have different levels of the same effect in the different tracks.
The limit has been in Music Creator since it's inception and is plainly spelled out in the literature, but there are ways to work around it.

Here is another small workaround:
Add fx-chain preset "Channel Strip" into insert. At the bottom of the fx-chain you will see three parts of it (Compressor, EQ and Reverb). Right click them and delete or just replace with any vst-effect you want to. There is no limit within the fx-chain so you can add as many vst-effects you want to. Little drawback: you can't save own fx-chain-presets.

Since the LE versions are limited versions anyway, it only makes sense that they are limited in the number of FX that can be in a given project.
 
Cakewalk has increased the number of FX in the MC line. If I remember correctly, it used to be 8 total. That was increased to 24 in MC7.   However, if you want more than that, simply get one of the Sonar versions and you are limited only by the power of your DAW's processor to run all those plugs in real time.
 
Or.... as has been suggested.... use a sub buss for the FX or use the AUDIO>PROCESS FX function.  
 
Even though I have Sonar, and can run quite a few plugs, I tend to use a very limited number and also tend to put them into the sub busses.

You might be able to use something like Samplitube, where you can use multiple effects inside Samplitube and it only counts as one effect....I think :)
