Audio effects in Sonar X1d Expanded 64bit

Is there any list with audio effects that are NOT working in Sonar X1d Expanded 64bit? So far, I discovered that Amp Sim, FX Compressor/Gate, FX Dynamics Processor, FX Expander Gate, FX Limiter, FX2 Tape Sim, Parametric EQ, Reverb, Spectra FX, and FX2 Amp Sim DO NOT WORK in Sonar 64bit, but the discovery proccess is slow, because after you try each of these effects Sonar stops responding, takes a long time to close, you have to restart the computer, etc., etc. I thought that Cakewalk, in its wellknown care for its customers would mention somewhere that if you use "the more stable Sonar X1 64bit" more than half of your audio effects WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE, but so far I couldn't find any such honest statement. Therefore, please, if anyone has already the complete list with features that are DISABLED in Sonar 64bit, put it on the web, not only for me, but for all the people who are thinking, poor souls, of buying Cakewalk Sonar X1. 

I am using ASIO drivers. Thanks, meh.

In the last few days, I have used a number of the FX you list in my Sonar X1d Expanded x64 rig with no problem, so I don't think this is across the board.


I think mudgel's advice is a good place to start in trying to solve your problem.  If that doesn't help, don't be afraid to try Cakewalk Tech support.

First, I want to thank everyone who answered me.
 
I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1 plus all updates. I installed the last drivers available for my system. I installed SONAR X1 Producer (release build 184), X1c (build 319), Producer Expanded (build 425), and X1d Producer Expanded update (build 535). Everything looked normal during installation. I am running the program on a computer with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU and 4GB RAM. I assume that MS Visual C++ 2010 x64 redistributable Version 10.0.40219 mudgel mentioned is installed by SONAR. However, on my system I found just MS Visual C++ 2010 x86 redistributable Version 10.0.40219. If that's the cause of my problem, how do I fix it?

There are several plugs that work in 32 bit but not 64 bit. To name a few: fxchorus, fxreverb, studioverb2...  However, there will not show up in 64bit as a choice. Those that do show up should work, and NOT cause hangups. I stick with 32 bit  for now simply because I have not found exact sounding replacements for a handful of 32bit plugs I've tweaked into my main project template. 

I think some of the others are pointing you in the right direction. It does sound to me like it's something wrong in your core setup or drivers. I would also mention that you may have a few synth edit vst(s)  causing you this problem. I did housekeeping of my plugs a while back when I experienced plugin problems. Glad I did. I removed several that were old and seldom if ever used. And my issue vanished. 

You may also want to call cw support to be sure.

I'm not having problems that I know of, but I checked what you said.


I have msdia80.dll in my root drive (c).


However, I also have msdia90.dll and msdia100.dll in the program files/common files/microsoft shared/vc directory. 


Any comments about the setup or order of my files?




Thanks

 msdia80.dll Move it to---> Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC. If you not move it, when the program ask/request the  msdia80.dll in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VC. and it is not there the program will crash or fail! Best Regards Freddie

Does the file need to be registered afterwards?

Well, the bottom line is that I cannot use most of audio effects and apparently there is no solution. By the way, don't you think that a company like cw should have someone monitoring the forum and offering technical solutions for all to see?

Ahh, this must be one of those vague X1D threads John T was talking about.
