Help with plug ins X3 Producer ***Resolved***

Ok so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here. I recently installed x3 producer to take the place of x1 studio. Now the problem I am having is with my plug ins. X3 will scan and find all of my plug ins, however I can only see maybe 3 of them.
I am mainly concerned about my amps. I like to use LePou amps for my guitars alot and they just wont show up in the plug ins. Like I said, x3 scanned them but they arent visible to me. What is going on that some of my plug ins such as front bass, trilion, and such are there, but some arent. I am running 64 bit vst on a 64 bit installation on a 64 bit system.
Please help me out here. This is driving me nuts.

    Do you see the .dll files in the folder where you installed them and is this folder included when Sonar does its scan? (you may have already checked this, but just in case....)

    Yes, all my .dll files are in the path directory and sonar finds them when it scans, it just they arent visible in sonar x3 itself

    look in the x3 vst options in the preference menu.
    you can re scan failed plug ins, choose how plug ins are run, scanned, exc.

    Yes I played around in the preferences some last night to no avail. None of the plug ins failed, they just arent visible. I am sure it is just a setting or something silly. Hopefully tonight I can get it figured out.

    Not sure if this will help or not, but take a look and see at these VST Settings......

    Did you do a RESET and a full rescan?
     
    Are they showing up in the 'Excluded' list?

    Where and how are you looking? X3 is different from past versions. Not only does it support VST 3 but there are more than one list. One will be for VST 3 plugins and the other for 2.4 VST plugins. Be sure you are selecting the right list to view. To view them all use the browser.

    Perhaps you're using a custom layout by accident?

    Well, suprisingly enough the problem is fixed. Got home today ready to.tackle this head on, open up x3, and boom, there are all my plug ins. Very strange, as I started x3 over 10 times last night and nothing. Now I open it the first time today and everything is there. Crazy

    Yeah, restarting 10 times is not enough.  Restarts go to 11....

    Ha! Lol. Now that I got that fixed, I have realized another issue. I have no loops or oneshots. The folders are there but everything is empty. I wonder if wiping everything and doing a clean install may yield better results. I had x1 studio and x2 producer on the machine already when I installed x3. Could that be causing these problems?

    Lots of folks keep multiple versions of Sonar on their systems at the same time, so that's not the issue.

    "Loops and One Shots" is a separate download. X3 would pick up the Preferences > File > Folder Locations from X2 Producer and install the "Loops and One Shots" in the "Wave Files" location.

    The "Loops and One Shots" are in your store account along with the rest of the X3 files. Reference the Download Instructions . At the bottom of the instructions are links to the lists of files included with each version of X3. The "Loops and One Shots" package is the same as the one included with X2 Producer.

    Thank you. Got the loops and one shots problem resolved. Now I am back to the plug in problem. Finally all my plug ins show up so I decided to go ahead and install trilian. Once again, x3 scans it but it doesnt appear in my browser. Im at a loss. I guess I will just restart 10 more times and hope tomorrow it appears. Lol. I will be glad once I get this all set up and can focus on using it.

    Scook, you da man!!!! Got home today and fired up X3. Opened the browser, went to my synths, and sure as ****, there she be named Ruby. I dont know how long that would have taken me to figure out were it not for that link. Would have surely spent hours looking for trilian and definitely not ruby.
    Thank You!!!!
