Good luck Dave. The instructions with the .zip file were cryptic at best so I wanted to post how I got it to work. Once I did it was soooooo cool to be able to work in 64bit land.

Unfortunately - I am trying use Cake's fxchorus, fxreverb, fxdelay and P5's studioverb2. I was met with a message that went something like this when doing the scan... This plug only works in Cakewalk. I was hoping.

Am I doing something wrong you think??

Thanks,

You may be running the 64 bit Sonar version and it may not be able to use those plugins. They are all DX 32 bit types.

Hi John,

I am running Sonar64 bit. Per post #8, I was trying to make some of the old plugs work - but they didn't... Shame, I like tracking with these plugs and replacing them later as needed.

I don't blame you. They are good plugins. I am very worried about CW's FX 3 Sound Stage. Its a great plugin and it should be updated. I am not the only one that would want that. I fear it wont be.

Amazing! Nomad Factory Blue Tube-Series work in SONAR 8.5.1, 64bit on VISTA 64bit
Nomad Factory Blue Tube-Series work in SONAR 8.5.1, 64bit. You need to un-install everything, even PACE, so follow my instruction and it will work for you too. You wont need to register them again either so that's cool.






How to install Nomad Factory Blue Tube-Series

1. Un-install, Nomad Factory Blue Tube-Series.

Have you all a nice weekend!

Cheers.

+1 on the thread...
 
I'm also curious to know if you've gone to SONAR as your main sequencer / DAW...
I still use Adobe Audition 3 for the "quick" radio and TV voice work and I will once in a while go to ACID PRO 7
But on the main production desk, I'm exclusively SONAR and it's really proven a valuable decision

Yes I'm using only SONAR 8.5.1 64bit. I have even un-install Cubase, because I don't use it anymore! I'm so pleased that I crossgraded to SONAR. The best I ever did since I used Logic, I have never look back.


I have found out more technology tips that I will be happy to share with you all...
Noel have been so kind to help me out on one problem that I had with Melodynebridge. I'm so happy now, now when it works perfectly with new SONAR 8.5-bitbridge, with out any error message. So now even Melodyne is possible to bridge and overcome in SONAR 8.5


I will submit all this later and let you all know...
I have also other tips, enhancement, use of FREE DX wrapper too in SONAR 8.5.1 that “emwhy” already submitted.


Best Regards
Freddie

I got the Dx shell wrapper (suggested by EMWHY above) to work. One word of caution though, If you have any expired demo versions or previous dxi's that did not function even in 32 bit they will be brought in and wreck the scan.  Eliminate any that you don't use anyway to be sure.  I think this may have been one of Papi's problems.  

When you do a VST rescan in 8.5 it also replaces the 8.3.1 scan info as well so if you crash it you won't be able to get 8.3.1 to work either.

I've talked about this before as have others, but I wanted to keep this info active.

For people trying to "wrap" dx and dxis as vsts so that they will work with the new Bit Bridge (works well with with Waves stuff):

1 Download this:

http://xlutop.com/buzz/zip/dxshell_v1.01b.zip

2. Unzip the files.

3. Create a folder in Program Files x86 directory. Name it what ever you like, possibly DXvsts.

4. Find the .dll files (and only the .dll files) for your dx plugins and copy and paste them into the new folder from step 3.

5. Drag the dxshell.dll file and shell2vst.exe files into the same folder from step 3.

6. In the folder, drag the dxshell.dll file on top of the shell2vst.exe file and it will wrap your files

You will now notice a new folder simply named DX. This contains all your wrapped vsts.

7. Open SONAR and do a vst scan pointing it to the DX folder and you should be good to go in 64 bit land.

Please note in the DX folder all of your native Cakewalk fx will also be "wrapped", but will not scan properly. You can go in this folder and delete those .dll files. You wont need them as they will open in SONAR anyway.

Hope this helps.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Update....of “emwhy” POST!

The DX wrapper work fine in SONAR 8.5. especially with “Melodynebridge”& Melodyne 3 Studio.
Now you can work with out any error message if you use the DX-wrapper version of “Melodynebridge” instead.

Also, there are more benefits, for those that use “SONY Soundforge”
All SONY plugins, that was exclusive use for “Soundforge”, get wrapped and can be used in SONAR 8.5 64bit now too! Sweet =)

There are a new DX-wrapper version, out now!... that you can download and use here..
Its FREE.    http://xlutop.com/buzz/zip/dxshell_v1.0.2b.zip


Un-Zip it! next off..

“Emwhy-post”
( 6) In the folder, drag the dxshell.dll file on top of the shell2vst.exe file and it will wrap your files

You don't need to drag and do this moment (6.)  with SONAR 8.5 (I don't know about WAVES-plugins) because I believe SONAR-host are supporting shell plugins already. You can do like this instead with SONAR 8.5 64bit
 
 

1. You make a new in “Program files(x86)” and call the new map: “32bitDX-wrapper”; example ----> C:Program files(x86)/32bitDX-wrapper/
 
 
2. Copy to ---> "32bitDX-wrapper"-map
- dxshell.dll,   ..*a wrapper for directx effects(dx) for use in vst host applications.
- dxishell.dll,   ..*a wrapper for directx instruments(dxi) plugins for use in vst host applications.
I don't use this.... not recommended!
(- mfxshell.dll,    ..*a wrapper for midi fx plugins(mfx) for use in vst host applications, beware that not all mfx plugins may work with this wrapper.)
 
 
 
 
3. Start SONAR. Go to Plugin Manager and add the new location for scan! ---> C:Program files(x86)/32bitDX-wrapper/
 
 
4. Close and Re-start. SONAR scan all DX plugins.. If you get error message, don't worry, just close the message and SONAR continue to re-scan.
 
 
5. Now close SONAR again.. and Re-start SONAR 8.5., 64bit.
 
 
6. Go to--- Plugin manager in SONAR 8.5
 
 
7. All DX plugins that has been DX-wrapped to VST are marked with “(0)”   in the ending --> example: “xxxx. (0)” in SONAR 8.5 Ready for use!

Hope this helped!
