Still having trouble with midi renders being wrong ... here's a question about the prochannel insert for a synth output channel.   The main 'button' shows that prochannel is OFF but if I expand the prochannel view (in console view) the EQ is showing as ON. 
 
Which is right?

Both. Again, you simply don't understand some very basic SONAR concepts. You can have individual modules on or off, with the ProChannel button serving as a "master" button that determines whether those modules are in the signal path or not. This makes it easy to A/B what ProChannel modules do without having to turn each one on and off individually.
 

If the main button is off, then the Pro Channel is not active.

I need to see the top of PC to offer an opinion but it looks off to me. The EQ is on but Pro Channel is not. 

Thank you.   Trying to eliminate some possible causes of problems.    So we all agreed:   if the main button is OFF there is no prochannel participation, no how, no way?   

Correct.

Parenthetically, here's a SoundForge Pro 11 bug:   saving a 24bit wav file as a 16bit wav file is NOT the same thing as doing a bit-conversion from 24bit to 16 bit.    The 'save as' must use a worse process -- tracked down some high violin missing notes to this cause.

prolly just truncates it

Ouch, I would be so not happy finding that out the hard way :(

William, I know you're not a bad guy, I realize how serious you are about music, and I respect the way you dealt with challenges in your life not of your own making. So please accept this in the spirit in which it is given, which I am posting publicly instead of sending a PM because I believe several others could benefit from this advice about how to have a better SONAR experience as well as a better forum experience.
 
Upon encountering a perceived anomaly, your first stop should be the documentation. I looked at the help file, because I was concerned that perhaps the information you wanted was somehow not included. But I found this in under 45 seconds:
 

 
I'm sure that more than 45 seconds of your time and the forum's time has been taken up addressing your query. The forum is my last resort for finding a solution to anything I encounter. My preferred order is 1) SONAR's Help, 2) Google search using site:forum.cakewalk.com as a starting tag, and 3) if I can't find an answer, only then do I go to the forum and call upon the community for assistance. But I do that very rarely, because the first two options generally solve any problems.
