I told him that the trial version of Platinum had BreVerb and VC64 because I had it on mine. However, I learned here today that I had it because it was on another X version of SONAR that I had.
 
Sorry for the confusion.

According to this chart Breverb is included under the Boutique Suite:
http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions
 

BreVerb and VC 64 would be two things that I think Cakewalk would want people to see and try. Just those two will make the difference in whether some people but Platinum or not.
 
I wish they'd let you mix down and save a session or two just to experience the whole thing, but I'm sure there are reasons why they don't.

The last version of SONAR to include the VC-64 is X2. The plug-in was stuck at 32bit and the company that developed the plug-in went out of business some time ago.  The ProChannel version of BreVerb might be part of the demo. I cannot say for sure having not actually worked with the demo.

SONARX2 is the last version I had until I got Platinum. Do I have VC 64 on my SONAR Platinum because it was installed with X2 and Platinum scanned and found it? Or did Cakewalk come up with some way to keep including it with Platinum?

Hi. I am quite sure that is the case.
All the best.

I have X2 and Platinum installed on the same machine, so that's probably why.
 
The VC64 was such a great plugin. I'm really sorry it's not included anymore. What is the closest thing to take its place? That thing made everything sound better.

You have the VX-64 Vocal Strip. I believe it does somewhat "the same".

Just out of curiosity, is the VC64 available in any previous Cakewalk software on a CD or DVD that is still available?

ok so now I am messing around with the Demo version of Platinum, and besides the new look of the console and tracking view, I dont see anything different effects or plugin wise than what I already have. I guess the only way I will see what all the hype is....is to go ahead and purchase the full version.
