This may seem an odd question for some (or most) of you but I simply would like to know if it is possible to completely remove the entire Pro Channel from X2 Producer (or X3 Studio/Producer)? So not only a few PC plugins but the entire complete thing! Gone! Forever! Is that possible? Or is it hardcoded into the software?

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer. But just out of curiosity, why do you want to remove one of the nicest features according to many? What are you experiencing or what do you dislike? 
Thanks for sharing. 

"hard coded into the software"
 
But if you do not activate it by turning it on it is bypassed.

LOL I could have expected this question and maybe should have posted it in the OP but well... I simply don't use it and so it takes up precious screenspace whenever I open that side panel. And I wonder that even when everything is turned off, if it still doesn't use resources? I know most people love it but I don't have the knowledge nor the ears to make good use of the Pro Channel. I only bought the Producer versions in the past for the extra instruments and a few plugins I do use but when it comes to the kind of plugins the Pro Channel offers, well... it's wasted on me. I for instance never ever use things like tape simulators. I can (sometimes!) hear a difference when I use one but that difference doesn't impress me or is too subtle for me. I can get around with the Sonitus effects and I am not interested in other similar plugins that may be better but not to my ears. I am a simple musician and I just don't care about the Pro Channel. ;)
 
As I posted in another topic I am thinking about buying the basic X3 version mainly because it doesn't have the Pro Channel LOL And since Wookiee posted it is hardcoded, I might as well do that. (If my other answer in another topic gets a satisfactory answer, that is).

Thanks Hellogoodbye!  

I would neither be concerned about screenspace (as you can easily hide the PC in any view ) nor about CPU resources (as this seems to implemented really well; I have been using it in almost every channel to some extent, even if it's just a simple low cut filter as it is so much more convenient to use than anything else).
 
I'd be more concerned about stability when trying to remove it yourself (don't know if that's possible, but you can always fiddle with dlls and such things) ...
 
Even as a "simple musician" you might be faced with playing along a backing track that got way too much bass content or is too muddy and by twisting 2 knobs in the PC you might have a much more pleasing track to play along to ...
 
Edit: think about your mixer when playing live. don't you ever use the EQ for anything ...???

I never play live and I ALWAYS is use the Sonitus EQ for EVERYTHING. I don't need 15 fancy EQ's.

As already stated, it's hardcoded into Sonar. Just don't activate it in the Console view and deselect it at the top of the Inspector and bob's your uncle. No resources used if it's not being used.

For the record, I am NOT his uncle.  :)
