I know these FX chains are for X2 which I have (just not installed yet), but I'm still using X1.  Any chance these work with X1 with tweaking maybe?

Or is this a new X2 thing and I haven't yet experienced it?

(haven't installed X2 due to the many troubles some are experiencing and know that I will have some of these problems, waiting on next patch - plus I don't ant to learn take lanes yet.)

Ok, now that I have these things, what do I do with them ? :-)

I've just read up on FX chains in the manual so I know how they work
but how are you supposed to make use of the one's that were already there and these new ones ?

Is it just a matter of dropping one in the fx bin and listening to what it sounds like ?

How is that better than just setting up the fx's that you need to get the sound you want ?

Many thanks to Cakewalk for the free chains.  I have 5 chains that I use for different projects, but these will be welcome to give me a few new ideas. 

"Custom" is a top 5 description for Sonar X2a!

No, you should be ok - I seem to remember X1 actually introduced Fx chains (or was it Expanded?)


The point is, all the chains I've looked at only use the stock plugs that come with Sonar - no Pro Channel or 3rd party (obviously) modules

The chains were first introduced in X1 Expanded.  So you should be able to use them.

Cool.  Thanks.

I have X1 Producer installed and running , just haven't done the X2 producer yet.  The FX Chains download is in my store account.

I'll go play and see what effect (haha) they have on X1.

Does anyone know where to get the Odyssey (Bonus FX Chains) pack now ? I don't see it in my account and must have missed it when it was offered. I came across this when I saw Craig Anderton's new CA Power Chord FX Chain.
