I think they found there wasn't much call for a nobbled VST.

 
Stop making sense...

I remember when I was first looking at X1 one of the things that drew me in was the claims about the ProChannel and how having EQ and compression etc "built in" to the strips means a much lower CPU load. But is this really true? I could never work out how this could be the case. It's not like putting a reverb on a bus and channeling multiple tracks through that. Every instance of a PC compressor is a separate instance with its own settings, so therefore must occupy its own process in memory. So how is that reducing CPU load? 

I want the "turn off Mooch's complaints about my singing" plug.

I'd pay dearly for that one.

I think they are all VST3 compliant in a VST2.4 format.

It's the only explanation.

There ya go a logic gate would fix that.
 
Set it up so "I'm singing" AND "Mooch complaining", silences the Mooch channel*.
 
(*you might need two instances if the Mooch channel is stereo.)
  
 
Simples.

Noel's explanation stated that they were indeed VST2.4 standard plug-ins with customisations to the interface only.
 
If a module is enabled then it is taking up cycles for DSP use like any other instance of a VST, but the graphics overhead is reduced as it all appears in a re-used window rather than a different window for each instance.
 
If they are turned off (disabled) in the Pro-Channel of course they won't (shouldn't) be loading up the processor at all.
 
So basically they are just channel inserts with a recycled display.

Serious hat on:
I wish the Baker's bake a much leaner cake; SONAR Core Edition (which has all the essential midi and audio editing features + revamp V-Vocal and AS to be as good as Melodyne) and make the Core Edition 'free updates for life' (acessed only by valid registered users) whereas all the tightly integrated addons such as; PC , the Matrix, V-Vocal+AS and other plugins) all sold separately. 


Serious hat off: 
I think the UI needs to have more wood and use shiny metal dials and faders, and of course be lead and mercury free and run on solar power to conserve workflow.

What about dolphins?  Did you forget about them?
 
(I'm guessing you did on porpoise...)

My bad, and I also forgot Monkeys; dang it, every toolbox needs a wrench! 

Vuvuzela module.

Oh... lord no!!!
That's the most annoying sound on the planet.     


I'd like to see a Pultec style EQ
