Using FX Chain Chain presets (.fxc)
You can save effect chains in SONAR, which can be used in any project. An FX Chain preset stores
all the settings of a specific effects bin. This allows you to effortlessly duplicate favorite effect
combinations and settings without having to manually insert one effect at a time. FX Chain presets
are saved as .fxc files that can be imported from the Plug-in Browser.
To save an FX Chain preset
1. Do one of the following:
• To save an effects bin as an FX Chain preset, right-click any blank space in the effects bin and
choose Save as FX Chain Preset on the pop-up menu. Specify a preset name and location in
the Save FX Chain Preset dialog. All plug-ins in the effects bin are consolidated into a single
new FX Chain.
• To save an FX Chain container as a new FX Chain preset, right-click the FX Chain container in
an effects bin and choose Save as FX Chain Preset on the pop-up menu. Specify a preset
name and location in the Save FX Chain Preset dialog.
Note: FX Chain presets are stored as FX Chain Preset files (*.fxc). For track and bus effects
bins, the default name for the FX Chain preset is the track/bus name. For clip effects bins, the
default name is the clip name.
