X2: Loading FX In Pro channel As Opposed To 'Traditional' Place

Are you saying that your seeing them (Boost 11 and LP64) load as pro channel plugins and not in your effect bin as VST's?  I guess thats an upgrade i didn't notice.

To get your default project to load the way you want, just make a project template and save it as your default template.

I'd call this a bug. Maybe good idea to report it to Cake.
Unless you can at least drag the effect back to the fxbin where you wanted it. Can this be done?
I guess that would be referred to as a nusance.

Okay guys, so I'm on the demo project 'Jodi - Where did It Go'. If you click on the Mixdown and bring up the 'ProCh' on the left then we get LP-64 Multiband and Boost 11 showing up IN the pro channel. Same with LeadVox, at the top of the pro-channel is a Deesser.
Just wondering how this is done, and why you would do it this way?

I can get a screenshot if you guys still not sure what I mean.

I don't know why a pre-X2 project you created would open with FX in the ProChannel. I do think that is a bug.

As for using FX in the Pro Channel, it's pretty awesome. You can add FX to the Pro Channel by inserting an FX Chain module, or by dragging and dropping from the browser.

There are a number of reasons to do this.

1. Added gain structure
2. Added ability to control FX settings using Quick Groups- once you create buttons/knobs for the FX chain where you added the plugin you can control the same parameter on the same plugin in multiple tracks at the same time. You can already do this with the Pro Channel EQ, for instance, to add High Pass filters to all tracks at once by selecting all tracks, holding CTRL and enabling the Pro Channel to all, then (still holding CTRL) go to one of the tracks and turn on the high pass filter, grab the frequency and roll it up. Now this kind of control is available for all plugins from any manufacturer through the FX Chains in the Pro Channel!
3. Desired signal flow- now PC modules are not stuck before or after the FX bin, but FX can now be routed as desired

I'm in an internal debate on when/where/if I will use the normal FX bin in the future.

The Bypass All and Bypass All of this Type for the regular FX bins are helpful, and seeing plugins for all tracks at once when looking at the console view can be helpful too, but the quick grouping and routing make the Pro Channel bin a winner in many situations.

Adji. if you load an old project with effects in the in the old fxbin and sonar puts them in the PC, can you drag them back to the fx bin?

thanks

Thanks Bill. I was imagining something like the DimPro switch from dxi to Vst debacle. 

forgive the noobish question, but where is this demo project located. can't seem to find it...

NEVER MIND. LOL. UM... INSTALL ADDITIONAL CONTENT! DUH!

Thanks for all the advice and links guys, much appreciated. Didn't realise this was possible.

Quick question! I tried dragging my Audiffex GK bass amp sim in to PC. I got no output and no sign of a signal to the sim. Is there something I'm missing in the signal chain? It works fine in the FX bin but no go when you drag it in to PC. This is X2 64. Could it be because the GK is a 32 bit plug? I toggled all the on buttons in the PC to make sure it was on. Anyone having any issues like this?

Yes I believe 32 bit plugins wont work in the 64 bit PC. They would still have to be bridged. 

I can confirm that (at least some) 32-bit bridged plugins work fine in Pro Channels FX Chains. I've done this with UAD plugs and they work great. :-)
