When I installed the 4 DL packages one after another, it took me through the process and I did a custom install, leaving out the Cakewalk FX and the Sonitus plugins, since I've had those forever. I guess the ones I have are 32-bit, because X3a is not seeing them(I installed the 64-bit version). Do I have to uninstall and reinstall just to get these plugins? or will it let me get just those if I run through the install process again? Thanks for any help.

your question is confusing......
 
since you have had cakewalk fx and sonitus plugins forever, you didn't install them, and they are 32 bit?
but you installed a 64 bit version......of what?
and now X3a is not seeing something....... you didn't install?
 
do you have a 64 bit or 32 bit computer?
more specs on your pc please?
 
 
p.s. you should finish your install up to X3e..
 
 

Run the installer again and use the advanced install option like before except this time select the plug-ins skipped in the initial install. DirectX plug-ins are host bit specific, IOW 32bit DX plug-ins run in 32bit hosts, 64bit DX plug-ins run in 64bit hosts. Unlike VSTs there is no bridge software for DX plug-ins.
 
After installing the plug-ins, download and install the X3e update http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013361/SONAR-X3e-Update then run a VST reset and rescan http://www.cakewalk.com/S...ommended-for-Upgraders
