Missing Cakewalk FX Plugins

I believe that most of the old FX plug-ins don't work on 64-bit Windows. Use the Sonitus plug-ins instead. That's probably why they gave them away for free a few months ago. When I do a VST scan I get an error message that FxChorus, FxEQ, FxDelay, FxFlange, FxReverb, and Studioverb2 won't work. 

Those plugins you copied from the Shared Plugins folder are DX plugins and copying them is not sufficient. they need to be regfistered and so they have a proper installer. Not like VST's where you can copy .dll files around the place. You can do a couple fo things one ioncludes a registry edit the other requires that you access the regserv32.dll (or 64 bit equivalent) to register the appropriate files in the registry.

You haven't mentioned which plugins specifiaclly or things like which operating system and whether its 32 or 64 bit.

there are some of the cakewalk FX spoecifically the Soundstage FX from the FX pack 3 that won't install in 64 bit X1 or 8.5 for that matter as its strictly a 32 bit DX plugin.

anyway - give us a bit more info as requested.

if you have a corrupt registry file causing the problem, constantly repeating the installtion is of no value. Also uninstalling SONAR without deleting the corrupt keys is also of no value as the keys are not corrected during the next installation.

Doesn't work in x64 so don't use it (least ways not without a DX to VST wrapper and such).


Don't understand why off thread as the OP didn't mention which plugin/s or OS at all. I just mentioned that as a specific one that won't install in a 64 bit SONAR. The FX1 and 2 packs however will.
 

I don't use them at all. In fact while I have everything installed (helps with helping folks to have default installation of everything SONAR) I don't use any CAKEWALK FX or Plugins anymore.

If ever I get a stable X1 I might try Prochannel. While I experiement with X1 (and only for the rest of this month) When work starts in Feb I'll be back on 8.5 with only some spare time dedicated to X1 from then on.

The soundstage plugin  (in 32 bit had some interesting aspects of it in locating fx left to right and front to back.

As for the others they're pretty ordinary by today's plugin quality. Only an opinion of course.

Then what are the steps one should take to make available fxDelay, fxEQ, fxFlange in and X1 install?

I too am having this problem. I just installed X1 Producer 64bit on a new machine running Win7 64 bit. My old machine is running Producer 8.5 WinXp 32 bit and use alot of the Cakewalk Fx plugins. How can I install these plugins on my new 64 bit machine? I likme these plugins because they sound fine, and they come with a lot of presets.
 
If I cannot install these older Cakewalk Fx.. plugins, what plugins would you recommend that come with presets? I looked at the Sonitus plugins but they are missing a Chorus effect. Any help would be appreciated!

The FXReverb sounds great to my ears.  I use the Warm Cathedral preset all the time. Very nice and musical for a certain type of ambience I use on some instrumental pieces.
