Notepad for the Pro Channel
I have reams of paper filled with ideas and notes on tracks. It would be great to just open up the pro channel and type the notes into the program. I could access them anytime in the future, and save on space.

Just curious why the Prochannel? Currently there are a few places where notes can be entered already. There have been requests to have more notes, and notes which appear in the marker view (like in SoundCloud,eg). I never considered Pro Channel my ideal spot for notes (not to downplay the idea at all- just wondering).

One place for track notes is the Description field in the Track Tab of the Inspector

That's a good place for all track related info (e.g. preamp settings used) - been there for a while but only just started using it myself ...

I never mess with the track view so didn't see it. So, it already has it! Thanks.

I just recently started using it as well. It has turned out to be a handy feature since I'm constantly wanting to jot down something for later.

If you use the "Info" box a lot (I don't) you can also create a Custom Button for it in the Custom Module of the Control Bar.

Now that there are so many places to put notes, finding them could be tricky; how about a note summary or compile function, i.e. a screen to show where every note is, and what it says? (may be it could hyperlink to the track).

A note to note the notes?

Great tip! I use info a lot, but hardly ever use the custom buttons. Now they will be productive citizens of my SONAR society.

Thanks Brando and Scook!
I never thought using a custom button for project notes - and - I didn't realize we could type in folder notes. I did know about the track notes, but the folder notes got by me. I've already started using them...

There are a few VST notes plugins even a free one. If you create an fx chain then you can use the notes in the ProChannel as you wanted.

You're welcome. In fairness to Scook, he already mentioned Project/Info - I missed it in his first post. So I didn't really add anything except the custom button, which I picked up from somebody else in another thread. May have been Scook, as he knows all, sees all. LOL.

No custom button suggestion from me. Have yet to use them.
