ProChannel (Producer and Studio only)

ProChannel compatibility with SONAR X3 base version

ProChannel is only included with SONAR X3 Producer and Studio, not with the base version of

SONAR X3. If a project was created in Producer or Studio and loaded into the base version of

SONAR X3, the project might sound different because ProChannel is not available. However, if you

resave the project in the base version of SONAR X3, all ProChannel settings will be persisted and

available if you later load the project into Producer or Studio again.

Loading legacy projects

If you load a pre-SONAR X3 project that uses the per-channel Sonitus:fx EQ, the ProChannel

QuadCurve Equalizer module will be disabled.

If you want to keep and edit the Sonitus:fx EQ, double-click the small Equalizer graph in the

collapsed ProChannel.

To replace the Sonitus:fx EQ with the ProChannel QuadCurve Equalizer, do one of the following:

• Press CTRL and click the Equalizer enable/disable button .

• Enable the Equalizer module. SONAR prompts if you want to switch from the Sonitus:fx EQ to the

ProChannel QuadCurve Equalizer.

Loading X3 projects in SONAR X1c or earlier

• SONAR X1c and earlier only support a single compressor module per channel. If you are using

multiple compressor modules on a channel in a SONAR X3 project, SONAR X1c (or earlier) will

only load one of the compressors.

• SONAR X1c and earlier always shows the Compressor, Equalizer and Tube Saturation modules

on all channels. If you load a SONAR X3 project that doesn’t use all the default modules, SONAR

X1c will automatically recreate the missing modules.

• If you load a SONAR X3 project that has ProChannel Global Bypass enabled, you will not be able

to unbypass that ProChannel instance in SONAR X1c.
