hi guys, I recently upgraded to windows 10 and suddently I had this problem too, and I FIXED RUNNING SONAR AS ADMINISTRATOR.

I have Windows 8 Professional myself.  Have you had any kind of trouble with Windows 10 - or only positive experiences ?

I have Windows 8 Professional myself.  Have you had any kind of trouble with Windows 10 - or only positive experiences ?

in windows 10, with sonar platinum x64 so far, I only had have positive experiences. I'm very pleased, sonar is rock-solid. I worked with sonar X2a in windows 8.1 very few times, but it seemed to work very smooth. but, if you could find drivers for win10 for all your devices, I strongly recommend to upgrade to windows 10.

I currently have ST3......and do have some older projects done in ST2 which I do get errors when trying to open up the project (can't find sounds.....to that effect). I've been wanting to remix these older projects, but didn't know how to get the ST2 synths to work in Platinum (Win 10 x64). 
 
Should I try the Admin route first and if that doesn't work, what are some other options I could try?

As another option St3 has an import legacy instrument function. I used it to load miroslav philharmonic so that I could use the library as a 64bit plugin. You just have to reassign the instruments/sounds to your midi tracks.

I have been using Miroslav for years (including now Version 2).  And I have had no problems with the various versions of Sonar over the years (seems like 5 years or so).  So there must be a way to make it work.  And I have used Sonar at 64 bit as soon as it was available.

I actually thought about doing this, but wasn't sure if the correct instruments/sounds would import at all (ST3 being a different synth)......I hope I labeled which instruments/sounds were used in ST2.
 
Thanks 10foot.

Here we go with the sollution (support team email):

Update to SampleTank CS 64 bit from your User Area and use this to import all your older IK Legacy sounds using the Import Legacy Instruments option. Look the link below for a video on how to Import.

https://cloud.ikmultimedia.com/s/Mf8KCGYDNyw6ajP


Your serial # is in the User Area > My Products > under Authorizations under SampleTank CS.

Go to the User Area: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea

Go to My Products > under SampleTank CS click >>> Sounds Downloads and download the sound installers

SampleTank CS Free has 1 sound installer

Unzip each one and then install each sound installer separately, make sure to run the installer inside of each DMG/Zip to install the sounds. <<<.

The sounds should be installed into the default location (you can move the folder after the full install)

PC: C > Users > Name > Documents > IK Multimedia > SampleTank 3
Mac: HD > Users > Shared > IK Multimedia > SampleTank 3

The manuals are located here:
Under Manuals under the Product in the User Area.

I had this prob with Miroslav 32, solved by wrapping it in jBridge. Works fine now. Same solution worked for my old Antares Harmony Engine 32 also. ($19 for jBridge beats hundreds for 64 bit Miroslav and Harmony.) 

I remember those days: Here is a thread where I went through same thing back in 2015
http://forum.cakewalk.com/Miroslav-Philharmonik-with-Sonar-Plat-x-64-m3283549.aspx
 
What I did:
* upgraded to microslav Phil 2
* before the upgrade to MP2, I used sample tank 3.x to play MP1

I imported my Miroslav & other ST2 based soundbanks into ST3 Free - is there any way of loading in the multis from the old ST2 instruments? I haven't spotted it if there is
 
Cheers
