Sonar not recognizing Sound Forge

After you scan the plugins you need to add them.

You can use Sonar Utils to add Sound Forge to your Tools menu.

Thanks to all for input, but I'm not quite there yet.

OK, I scanned for VST plugins in the plugin manager, but I guess I don't know how to "add" them. All it did when I clicked on "add" was put whatever plugin was highlighted from the list on the top left in a little box on the right. I don't think that was helpful because the list on the top left never changed when I scanned for plugins so whatever went into the box was always a plugin that already shows up when I look for a plugin.

I found nothing helpful in the Sonar documentation. Admittedly I haven't checked Sonar Power yet and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the answer is in there.

I did download Sonar Utils - but I worked late last night and it was about midnight when I downloaded it, so I didn't really spend any time trying to figure it out. I did see that Sound Forge was already listed under Tools, which I don't quite comprehend.

Anyway, working late is not in my future tonight, so I expect I will have time to dig in, look things up, and hopefully figure this all out thanks to all your help.

I don't have Sonar Utils installed so I can't help by checking for you but look for an add switch there. Also you need to make sure SONAR utils is working on your v8 install... just in case you have some older v7 v6 etc installs.


Plug in Manager. Do you know that you actually have to save the list the appears over on the right side? You have to name it and save it and load it in SONAR tyo use the modified list that you may have added the plugins too.

But, I'm not sure what you are saying... can your plugin manager see the plugins after a VST Scan? Or are you saying the you can not see the plugins with Plugin Manager?

Also which Sound Forge plughins are you looking for. The so called mastering plug ins by Izotope-Ozone-MAudio are only available withing Sound Forge. No other app can use them. There are a lot of "Sound Forge" EFX that are available to SONAR. I have SF9 as well and can see the ones I expect too.

Sound Forge is a 32bit program. It's plug ins will not show if your running Sonar in 64bit.

If you're already running Sonar in 32bit mode Right click in an Effects Bin on an audio track - go Audio Fx - go Plugin Layouts (at the top) - check Default all Plugins

If you're using Win 7 and want to use the External Encoder Configuration Utility to configure Lame or another Encoder, you'll need to run your program as an administrator to keep the changes you make. Right click on the program icon, in properties/compatibility set 'privilege level' to run as administrator. Otherwise any changes you make will not be saved.

Running as administrator might result inbv warnings when you start the program .. "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer" ... For programs like Sonar or Sound Forge this refers only to changes in the settings for each program, not the computer O/S. Click yes. (To change these warning settings, click on the message bottom right "Change when these notifications appear") OR go Control Panel/User Accounts/Change User Account Control Settings.

Tip when installing programs, right click on the installation icon, in properties/compatibility set 'privilege level' to run as administrator.
