ProChannel (Producer only)

To lock ProChannel in the Inspector pane

By default, the Track Inspector dynamically updates to show the current track. However, you can

choose to always show a specific instance of ProChannel regardless of which track is current.

1. Click the track or bus you want to show in the Track Inspector.

2. Click the ProCh button at the top of the Inspector.

ProChannel is displayed in the Inspector pane.

3. Click the Track Name control at the bottom of the Inspector and select Lock the current track

or bus from the drop-down menu.

To unlock the track or bus, select Lock the current track or bus from the menu again.

ProChannel compatibility with SONAR X1 Studio and Essential

ProChannel is only included with SONAR X1 Producer. If a project was created in Producer and

loaded into Studio or Essential, the project might sound different because ProChannel is not

available. However, if you resave the project in Studio or Essential, all ProChannel settings will be

persisted and available if you later load the project into Producer again.

Loading legacy projects

If you load a pre-SONAR X1 project that uses the per-channel Sonitus:fx EQ, the ProChannel

Equalizer module will be disabled.

If you wish 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 EQ, 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 EQ.

• Right-click the small Equalizer graph in the collapsed ProChannel and choose Discard the

Sonitus EQ and switch to Gloss EQ on the pop-up menu.
