What features/Plugins In Sonar Do You Find Yourself Using Less Despite Liking

I Know ..long title.  In any case.  Every now and then I find myself not using a feature or plugin that I actually like ..in theory. Sometimes it is procrastination.  Sometimes it is just being used to a certain workflow.  I post this because, in the past, i find either a situation/need or example by another user will motivate me to revisit.  Examples for me in the past included V-Vocal (It seemed to crash too much for me to bother prior to X3) and R-mix (I never bothered until I found myself stumped on a filtering issue). Every now and then Ii will go through the menus and look at the included plugs and think "I am probably missing out by not using this".  The first one that comes to mind for me is TH2 Producer.  I have nothing bad to say about it.  I tried it, thought it sounded good and then..a presets pack was given to us and I found the process very unintuitive and it just kind of made me not think about TH2. It was just too easy for me to grab one of my versions of previous Sonar included guitar apps like Guitar rig le 4, other third party plugs or guitar geared fx chains included in Sonar (Some of which include TH2 but that's kind of buried if you just drop in a preset and start playing).  Since I'm always looking for ways to minimize my third party plugins not included in Sonar, I have decided to start using it more.  Anyone else have similar experiences?   Also, I have always like the idea of Matrix but can never get myself to actually use it more than dinking around.

I really like my Les Paul Custom but I find myself playing a Cort guitar because it sounds as horrible as it plays. Really?

Was that an attempt at sarcasm?

The question was odd but interesting too. I don't think Guitarpima was trying to be annoying.
 
I couldn't think of anything that would answer your question. I have used different plugins through the years but as to features none that I stopped using. I have used features only to test them out though and didn't used them again. I don't think that would count.  
 
Because it is a very odd question I would expect odd answers. 

I understand the sentiment. For me: I no longer use pro channel. I realised it was just another layer and I already had an adequate/superior group of vsts. I like prochannel but prefer my way of doing things.

So, I bought a copy of X3 basic on Steam and haven't used producer in about 6 months.

Yea, it is a strange but interesting question.  I'm w/ Karyn, all these FX and yet the PC is mostly used.
 
But it is important to know more features/toys than you will ever use regularly, which is at the heart of the "poorly worded question."  There are a lot of things I know I can do in SONAR that I haven't tried yet.  And often I'll work around rather than get out the (virtual) manual and find the supplied method.  But I am in a hurry.  And seldom do I find the time to go back and figure it out.  And next month, or year, I"m back and curse myself since I didn't work on doing the easy method.

convenience is still king?

It is never my intention to be mean but I do like to poke humor. With a title like that, it was to easy. ;-)
 
I think what your saying is as your ears become more in tune, your hear things more, and sometimes less, easily and realize how different things work in different situations. I should have said this earlier but nobody's perfect.

Deleted.  I misread the question.  The OP was asking for things native to Sonar.

I understand the point of the question, and there's an easy answer for me: Addictive Drums. It's great, sounds wonderful, and is highly editable, but I use the Discrete Drums loop libraries because they're so well-recorded and it's sooo easy just to drop in an audio loop and start playing. That said...I plan to dig more into AD, and I expect that after a week I'll kick myself for not doing so sooner.

craig, I have not used anything but geist for drums in months although I have nothing but good things to say about AD. Funny how that works. After reading your post I just found the right sound and feel for a project using AD. I think I'm going to watch the groove 3 vids for AD and really dig in.

I really like Z3ta+ 2 but I use it less and less now. Complete lack of updates and newer synths like Serum have been replacing it.

Speak for yourself!

I swear! People who think they know it all really annoy those of us who do.

If your going to quote out of context then make sure you at least understand what your talking about.
