Getting Cakewalks SoundStage FX3 to work in 64 bit Sonar Plat.

Its a lot easier that one may think. 
 

 
I know that a few of us love this plugin. To get it to work in Sonar is simple. Download DXshell. Here http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177538 Its a free utility for converting DX plugins to VST. Sonar wont load 32 bit DX plugins but it will load 32 bit VSTs. Work on this it easy to place the DX dll for FX3 in a folder under VST and place the DXshell dll there with it. When Sonar scans it will see a VST for FX3. 
 
If you have questions ask them here. BTW I was expecting a lot of trouble but I ran into none. 

Its blast because no other reverb has the same sound. I wish that CW would update it to 64 bits without loosing its unique qualities. Until then we can use this "workaround" to have it in our toolbox. 
 
BTW its free though it may need a serial no.. I had bought it a long time ago and have one.  

Nice, John I remember using it back in the day Would definetively be cool if Cakewalk did a 64 bit of this.
All the best.

I grabbed all the FX (1,2 and 3) when they were offered by CW for free.
 
The FX3 version I have shows as v1.0.  Interestingly, there is a 1.01 patch (with some fixes) in the knowledge base:

One of the best plugins ever. I had hoped it would get multi-channel inputs - instead it was laid to rest

Bring it  back cakewalk.

Thanks John!  I've been trying to get this wonderful plugin to work for, well, seems like forever.  jinga8 out...

Need a little help here
 
I downloaded both the DXshell program and FX3 soundstage but am unsure where to put these files
both DXShell and Soundstage upzipped contains a number of files and I'm unsure of which ones go where.
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks

Thanks John,
 
I'm assuming the floders should be part of the 32 bit vst folder?

I have FX3-101 .exe and FX2-101.exe but when run they keep referring to upgrading a previous version and will not run? Can anyone direct me to where the original versions can be obtained from?
 
Thanks

This thread is about Cakewalks Soundstage FX3. See the picture in my first post.

Yes and FX3 is Sounstage is it not? As I wrote FX3-101 .exe ergo if I cannot install it, doesn't it make the question valid? Especially when ALL links only end up here https://shop.cakewalk.com/1244/catalog/category.60182/  where there is NO reference to said plugin???
 
Don't worry yourself I'll look elsewhere!

A bit harsh? I don't think John realized the files you were referring to were the update versions of these files, which apparently require the originals to install. From what I recall, Cake made all the old FX plugins available, with passwords, as free downloads a few years ago, and the DX shell solution arose shortly thereafter. John started this thread to confirm that it (the DX shell install) still works for Sonar 2016. Unfortunately unless Cake makes them available again, unless you have them already, you might be out of luck. I personally don't see it as worth the trouble (but would like to see a 64 bit, multi-channel version someday).

Well TBH, I thought his reply post was a bit harsh
