Deanah, don't see why you would want/need 2 versions of Sonar....32 bit stuff works fine in 64 bit Sonar normally.
I would remove the 32 bit Sonar.
Then install 64 bit version in Program Files.
Install all 32 bit VST in Program Files (x86) -> 32bit content needs te be in this folder....
Make sure to have the VST folder locations correctly set (Sonar,Edit in taskbar, Preferences, VST settings, VST paths -> make sure the folders for the 64 and 32 bit stuff is here.
Rescan VST and all should be ok.
 
good luck

Hi Sheanes!
 
Thanks for the reply! Ah I thought I needed TWO versions because the 64bit version wont load all my 32bit vsts without a bridge! I was tempted to buy Jbridge as this seems like a good solution, but lots of people say its quite unstable and with my old mixes they have tons of 32 bit vsts! So its bound to crash all the time :/

No need for an additional bridge I'd say and found in threads...
I have 32 bit working fine in 64 bit Sonar, I remember deleting a lot of stuff in Programm Files + Programm Files 86 because I had done a lot of installs...
So when I cleaned it all up and only 32 bit in Programm Files 86, then setting the Folder Locations + VST paths scans correctly and probs solved.
Hope you're ok soon

Just install the 64 bit Sonar.  It has a built-in Bridge that should read your 32 bit plugs.
 

Thanks guys! Feel like an idiot after all this! If only I had known the 64 bit would have loaded the 32bit vsts ok! Anyway thanks for all your advise! It hasnt worked perfectly because theres a few issues I am having but they are a different subject so I will close this post now and start a new thread for any new questions! Thanks again to all you guys that took the time to help! This forum really is something special!
