Using FX 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 box. 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 box.
Note: You can only rename plug-ins in a custom menu layout, not in the default menu layout.
