Studio Instruments stand alone - NO?
How do you launch the Studio Instruments in stand alone mode? The manual says they can be but the set that came bundled with Sonar won't. Thanks!

I think we only got the VST plug-in version, not the standalone.

yeah, I think dave's right, but not sure. I think you have to have bought the full version from the e-store either download or boxed (or maybe just the boxed?) to get standalone.

Copy that. On my main PC, I have the full version of SI (download) installed. The SI folder has dll and exe versions for each module. The bundled version on the other machine is only showing the dll's.

Ouch! Good to know. I just recently answered a question not knowing SI exists as a standalone, too. So my answer was worthless..
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

soens How do you launch the Studio Instruments in stand alone mode? The manual says they can be but the set that came bundled with Sonar won't. Thanks! My personal favorite way to run any VSTi instrument "standalone" is Savihost... http://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm For each VSTi that you want to run standalone, you make a copy of the Savihost executable (in the same directory as the dll), to match the VSTi's dll. So, for say SI-Drum Kit.dll, you'd make a copy of savihost named SI-Drum Kit.exe. There's a neat little hack to save a bit of disk space and (way more importantly) avoid having to recopy all the savihost copies when updates come out, where you use a "hardlink" to alias the "copies" from one common location. So, again for SI-Drum Kit, with the main savihost copy on... C:\Music\Plugins\VSTi\SaviHost\savihost.exe ...and the SI-Drum Kit dll in... C:\Music\Plugins\VSTi\Cakewalk\SI-Drum Kit\SI-Drum Kit.dll The command line you'd run to make the hard link (with the default directory where the dll lives) is... fsutil hardlink create "SI-Drum Kit.exe" C:\Music\Plugins\VSTi\SaviHost\SaviHost.exe (Note that the quotes are required around the target exe name because, in this case, the filename has an embedded space it in that will throw off the command line parser.)

The bundled version on the other machine is only showing the dll's. That's what I thought. Wish there was some notification somewhere about this... like maybe in the manual or item description page. I emailed Sonar who sent me a downnload link that requires a serial # so it indeed is NOT included in the bundled sets. Not a big deal, just like to know what I'm getting/NOT getting when buying stuff.
