Some of the plugs I have questions about but have not seen mentioned:


- ReFX (Nexus, Vanguard, Slayer, etc)


If anyone has successfully got any of these working in 64bit please let us know.  

Thanks!


I've got Nexus and Vanguard working vis BitBridge on 8.5.3 x64 on W7Pro x64
- no tweaks required to get them both running

I just got a Lexicon MX300 and I use it with Sonar (8.5.3. Prof. Ed) on my system Windows 7 64 bit. The installation disc that is apparently not compatible with Windows 7, since it occurs an error when trying to install the drivers and the installation fails. Installing Windows XP compatibility mode does the same. There is a VST for MX300, but because the driver and the installation fails, do not install the VST version.

Hi Glyn

Please find my recent thread about pops and clicks in SONAR.  I want you to be aware of this, as one of the plug ins in your list is currently the issue for me - I have four instances of an M-Tron in one session, and, I am aware that it runs "hot", so I have damped it's output way down - I've been doing that for six months - that gets rid of about 85% of your clicks and pops, but I am still fighting them today.

Please see the other thread, not sure if it's in your list, but I also have issue with BDF2 as a plug in in SONAR - it doesn't work with 8.5 64-bit for me.  It DOES work for others, so it's not necessarily a problem, but I haven't solved it yet.


Best of luck

By the way, for sounds, the M-Tron is amazing, I LOVE IT  Best plug in I've ever had.  BUY IT.  You won't be able to stop using it.



Except for the clicks and pops of course, but, that's solvable.

I love it so much, that I have made an entire album using only the M-Tron (no, I don't work for them!) which will be released early next year (assuming I can solve the popping).

www.pureambient.com - see sky full of stars - you can hear samples of the M-Tron in action on the Dave Stafford discography page (at the very bottom).


Cheers, D.


I know there is a list of compatible plugs in for 8.3 but 8.5 is a different animal and I am hoping the board can help me.
I am considering the 8.5 upgrade, percussion strip is a nice to have and SD3 would probably find some use but not is essential as I have a lot of kits between EZdrummer and Kitcore, so the only real selling point for me is Bitbridge 2 (even if it is a case of five steps forward, one step back due to the Toontrack problems) and integrated Jbridge support if required so I can finally go 64 bit and get some payback on the money I invested in my computer hardware. My next big purchase will be Kontact 4 or Komplete 6 and I want to be 64 bit before taking that leap.
I would be interested to know if anyone is successfully running or having problems any of these Plugins in 8.5 64 bit. Please indicate if Jbridge is needed for any,

Hauptwerk
Hauptwerk 3.23 I am still tempted by this.  I tried the free 32 bit version on 8.3.1 32 bit but it caused the VST scan to crash, even though the plugin loaded and worked. There is a 64 bit version which I hope will be more stable. Some of the free third party sample sets soud excellent but are a bit temperamental as you have to match your project settings to the sample rate used in the instrument, and this varies, but what do you expect for free?

Does anyone know if there is a VST -- or a feature in Sonar -- that allows you to easily measure the time between two points in time?  I specifically would like to look at drum tranisents and determine the time from the initial attack to the time when the transient starts to delay.

Thanks!

All of the free plugins on this page work fine with 64bit 8.5:

Hello everyone,
First off let me apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum topic. 
Okay, so i have recently upgraded from Music Creator to Sonar X3 Studio and i am oh so pleased. It took me sometime to install it correctly due to the fact that I am a musician not a computer programmer. After installing i needed to route my EZ Drummer to the proper VST place for my X3 which was alot more difficult then Music Creator. Seems that I have lost the routing for the (VST) or whatever it's called DXI file for my Boost11 and the other VST's that correspond along with it (boost11) I have all the VST installed from my music creator. I have found boost11 in programx86 but I am so lost as how to route them to Sonar X3.
Could someone please send me copied picture files as how to do this i have a hard time understanding these dxi, etc. file types. 
Would it be best if i uninstalled Sonar X3 Studio and re-installed it?

Was there ever any explanation as to why certain 32 bit plugins simply do not even appear under Sonar 64 bit? I have at least one VSTi (Majken's Chimera) that I really want to use, but doesn't load in Sonar X3 64bit at all. I wouldn't mind except I don't think there is any other synth that works the same way so I can't easily replace it.

Which version of Majken's Chimera have you tried? I just download the "NEW MULTICORE VERSION" from http://vst.majken.se/ and it loaded and played OK in X3e 64bit.
