What is the X3 replacement for VC-64

I have no idea, some VSTs will work just by placing the dll, some others don't. I guess it depends on whether it was tied to the older Sonar installs or not.

One way to find out though........

Ian, in the VST settings in X3 add the path to where you stored the VSTs in 8.5 and/or X1. Then do a rescan. You'll get everything you had previously installed.

Use the editor to sort them and remove/hide the ones you don't want.

For future reference, it is common practice to always load VSTs to the same path on your system, so when you install X4 or X5 you give it the same old path you've always used and it picks up all your old VSTs automagically.

If you uninstalled 8.5 by removing the HDD, as I think you implied, your best option would be to run the 8.5 or X1 installer in "custom install" mode and select all the VSTs and VSTIs you want to add to X3.

I have a clean install of X3 on a clean install of Windows 7. My question is whether copying the .dll from my old hard drive is enough for this particualr plugin.

Peace,

Ian

As Karl said above, it depends on the DLL. Some you can simply drag/drop others need to be properly registered in Windows, hence the easiest way is to run the installer.

I would also go with a custom install of X2 if you liked that plugin. The closest in X3 is probably the BT Analog Trackbox with its multi-functional architecture but it misses a lot of specific features.

Bluegrasser, if you can, copy VC64 from your computer to your laptop....
The VC folder is on your drive @ Program Files, Cakewalk, Vst Plugins, Vintage Channel normally.
When you copied it to laptop, let Sonar rescan VST's (Preferences menu) and you should have it again..

good luck

What I'd like to see is something to replace the VC-64's parallel signal path options.

As a matter of interest, why is VC-64 no longer included in Sonar X3 or as a separate purchase?

It's come up before. The owner of the product is nowhere to be found and thus unable to be further developed or properly supported. Not sure what the original licensing deal was, but good chance it may have expired.

One of the better features of the V64 was it's ability to change the order of the components within itself.
