Effects chains
If you bounce or freeze audio in a project that uses the External Insert plug-in, the bounce operation
must be performed in real-time.
When bouncing audio data, SONAR will automatically detect the presence of any External Insert
plug-ins (see “External Insert plug-in (Producer and Studio only)” on page 876) in tracks or buses,
and disallow the bounce operation if the Fast Bounce mix option is enabled.
If you need to bounce or freeze audio in a project that contains any External Insert plug-ins, you
have two choices:
• Disable Fast Bounce in the mixdown settings.
• Bypass all active External Insert plug-in's before bouncing.
If you need to make a change later, you can always unfreeze the audio, change settings, then freeze
again.
See:
“Real-time bounce” on page 923
“Freeze tracks and synths” on page 858
Effects chains
SONAR lets you save and load audio effect plug-in chain presets called FX Chain. An FX Chain can
be nested within effects bins, renamed, moved between tracks, buses and clip effects bins or saved
to disk as FX Chain presets.
Note: This feature is not available in SONAR X2 LE.
