Another brick in the wall?

I had problems with ASIO and synths.  Being 32 bit, P5 didn't want to use anything on my system that didn't get installed as part of its own package.  I could've still used it with its own bundled synths, but the ASIO problems on top of that sealed its fate.
 
When I transitioned to my newest machine, I didn't even bother installing it.

I have not installed P5 since upgrading from 32-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 10 last year.  I was concerned about all that 32 bit stuff. But it may not really be an issue.  If I do try it again, I will look out for the ASIO problems.
 
I am now running Platinum 64-bit, and I did re-install Sonar X3 32-bit, for testing and using with old projects and 32 bit plugins. That seems to live happily beside Platinum, and I try to keep most of my 32-bit plugins over in X3. I realize that I could install 32-bit Platinum, but I don't see the need.  I also have 8.5 somewhere on an old XP laptop that I never use anymore, along with P5, Ableton, and Acid.
 
So I suppose if I dropped P5 back in here, it could share some 32-bit plugins with X3.  I keep Platinum mostly 64 bit, with one or two exceptions.

I had X3 x32 installed for awhile too, and P5 was able to use those x32 synths.  ASIO was still a problem.
 
For reference, it was 8.1x64 with Platx64, X3(e)x32 and P5 ... along with other stuff.  Everything worked OK except for my interface (16x08).  IIRC, P5 only saw the first 2 of 16 inputs.
 
With the new box I'm being more selective.  I didn't even load up Dim Pro or Rapture Classic/Session.  The Rap Pro install covers all of that.  No P5 or x32 versions of SONAR either.  So once my 8.1 machine is decommissioned, so will be P5.
 
I do have to figure out if I can copy over the sound libs from x32 IKM products for import to ST3 without installing the apps.  I'm hoping so.
 
My thinking is that if I have zero x32 stuff, I'll never have to worry if a problem is related to x32/x64 bridging

Not at all  just an honest question ...

I do understand Bob , the P5 VST scan tool can be very finicky at times ....
 
I have my reasons for asking folks about the brick walls  ..
Here's where I'm at now ....listen up abacab
 
I have been using P 5 rewired into SONAR SPlat 64 bit in Win 10 64 bit now for the past week ...
it works effing great ..not even a crash yet ....
I found out how to do this because I was searching for a way to do one thing online and by total accident I found a tutorial video on how to use both 64 bit and 32 bit programs rewired ...regardless of brand or Vintage
 
That's why I'm putting out a feeler
 
are you guys interested ?

Ah, well my M-Audio Firewire 410 is actually only 2 in, 8 out as far as the 1/4" TS plugs go.  So unless I use S/PDIF, which I don't, no problemo -- maybe? 
 
Two ins works OK for me, because I mostly always use soft synths now anyway.
 

 
My thinking is that if I have zero x32 stuff, I'll never have to worry if a problem is related to x32/x64 bridging

I get that!

I thought you would never ask 
 
The person making the video is a SONAR X3 user and he is Rewiring Reason 5 32bit ....
As I mentioned P5 works great w SPlat using this approach the link for the app is in the videos description ...

 
all the best,
