Thanks for the reply I already tried compatibility mode Win 8 and Win 7 but it still won't work.
I am thinking of wiping my HDD and going back to Win 7 if I can't find a solution.

It should work in the newest versions of SONAR. At least the two Softube products I installed this month do. See http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3398711 for an explanation. It looks like the SONAR demos are current so they should have the workaround in them too.

Hi scook Thanks for the reply.Considering I am still using an old version of Sonar (X2) which demo should I try.I would like something close to the X2 but I don't need all the bells and whistles of a Professional Package.

You still may want to consider SONAR Platinum. Upgrading to Platinum through the end of August includes free upgrades for life. Otherwise SONAR Professional still includes the prochannel. SONAR Artist is the entry level. Compare them all here http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions  Only Platinum includes lifetime upgrades.
 

Thanks for that i only use Sonar at home so the Professional is not needed.Equally the Artist edition is too basic so Platinum looks to be the one.
I will try the demo and hope my Softube plugins work.

Platinum is the top of the line.
Professional is the second tier.
Artist is the entry product.

Yes apologies I got them the wrong way round.Now I have seen the spec sheet I do hope Softube works.I am quite looking forward to upgrading especially with the lifetime offer.I will download the Platinum Demo tomorrow and hope it works.Thanks for the help,glad I asked.

Softube are having a big problem with their plugins on 64-bit Win10. It's an admitted bug, and one that the support tech claimed was the biggest he's seen since working at Softube. All of their VST x64 plugs crash Studio One v3 when being scanned. SONAR Platinum seems to handle them OK, but that doesn't mean that the bug isn't affecting you in a less obvious way.
 
In any case, SPlat Lifetime is, IMO, the best audio software deal going today. I have no regrets for switching to SONAR from S1. The lifetime offer was a no-brainer for me (Which brain did you take? Um, Abby. Abby Normal!).
