Maybe this already exists in Sonar and I missed it somehow, but if not, tell me this isn't they way it should be.... if you agree, copy this next part and mail it to Cakewalk at Sonarsupport@cakewalk.com

Sonar should have a function that records audio from an effect plug (not in real time) to a seperate audio track. You could then save the settings on the plug, name the track after the name you gave the plug-in preset, and delete the plug from the track, freeing up mucho CPU space. A single track takes far less CPU than, say, a SonicTimeworks ReverbX. When you need to change something, just delete the track, bring up your preset, adjust it, and do it again. Right click on the plug, click "save as audio track" and delete the plug. You now have the effect without the CPU munching. This would also make it possible to get more effects in a mix than your processor will normally allow, or at least allows you to preview it properly without mixing it down WITH the audio, destructively. I like this. Alot.
Sound good?
 
Tubedude,

I think you can acomplish the sam thing by using bounce track.

You could bounce the track, and then archive the original. I do it in PA9 all the time.

I think this way would be a useful option, and maybe easier. They could include an auto delete function that deletes tracks created by audio effects completely in one swoop without it being archived into a delete list that you have to go back and delete again later.
Just an idea.
 
Sitting on the throne flipping through the manual.. .there it is, puts the effect on seperate track, and you can turn the effect off and save CPU, treeats it just like a regular audio track. Pays to RTFM. ;)
Good way to A/B between different reverbs and stuff too, that you normally wouldnt be able to run very many of.
 
eeeewwww
