Yeah I am, You can insert a FX chain module into the Pro-channel and put whatever you want in there. The actual FX chain is...The Deluxe reverb, Valhalla ubermod and vintageverb. It just saves time. The Pro-channel is basically an FX bin (with the pro-channel modules of your choice). Say you have plugins you always use with a vocal track. Create an FX chain with your vocal plugins. Then inside Pro-channel open up the FX chain module. Now you can drag and drop that chain into the FX chain module. You can also drag and drop in the FX bin if you would rather. I like to use the Pro-channel so I can alter the single chain easier with the order of the Pro-channel modules. Does that make since or am I making it sound difficult? It's really pretty cool. If I knew how to do it I would post a pic of the screen. I don't think I'm explaining it very good.
 

Well, you're doing a lot of things I'm not familiar with. I'm asking these questions because we're trying to move into town right now - so I'm hoping to be able to start recording with my strats. I'm going to upgrade my system next year and I'm just starting to try to familiarize myself with some of the new things going on - I haven't upgraded in 10 years - so it's time.
 
I'm not familiar with Pro Channel - so - it's a bit confusing. So, I'm going to have to do a bit of studying. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

This is wonderfully open and grooved out.  Great playing, and a perfect mix.  Nice addition to a post trick or treating evening (with cocktails).

No way!  When did they add that in there?  I never knew you could drop standard FX chains into the Pro Channel.  That's kewl. :)  I've just been using both and was never quite sure about the order, although I assumed the Pro Channel was always last.  Thanks for the tip Clint!

The Pro-channel is always before the fx bin unless you click the little post button in track view.

@starise and sven450. Thanks a lot!

Wow, learn something new every minute.  Thanks again Clint!

I should have said track inspector instead of track view. Also you don't have to insert a FX chain module. Just drag and drop the effect chain and Sonar will insert that for you! My errors are because I have made Pro-channel presets of my guitar settings so all of my favorite PC modules open up too. Of course each song has it's tweaks, but it still saves a lot of time. Sonar is a lot of fun!

It is a real pleasure to hear a guy with chops that plays with taste, style, and grace.
 
I really enjoyed your work as you moved around the melody.
