Here is a Proteus VX workaround.
 
Proteus VX causes Sonar 8.5 64 bit to crash when I try to load it via bitbridge or JBridge using the JBridge check box in the plugin manager.
 
I have found out by a happy accident if you run JBridger and create a ProteusVX.64.DDL this loads and works correctly. On thing to be aware of is when you close the project or Sonar, it seems to hang. This is because the Proteus "sampler contents have changed" dialogue is active and waiting for a response, but its hidden beneath the Sonar window. Minamise Sonar and close the Proteus Window and all is well.
 
Also be aware that it does take a long time to load a project with Proteus VX. Just wait a bit and all is well.

Yellow Tools Independence Free needs JBridge. The sound judders and is distorted using Bitbridge 2. 
  
  

Following up on a post by Strikinglyhandsom in the software forum on Yellowtools Christmas sale I saw that Independence is now available in native 64 bit. I just checked and the 64bit version of Free is on their website.
This has opened the playing field making Independence pro a serious alternative to Kontakt 4.

Bump. A few commonly occuring questions are addressed here.

Is anyone using SoundToys plug-ins with success in SONAR64?

I am having problems with both BitBrdige and jBridge.

This is all very encouraging. Any way we can get system info Vista home64, Windows7 Pro, etc.; memory amount and maybe chip type might be helpful also.

Thinking of making the Windows7 move. I'm gonna install a new HD in my laptop and may just do a clean install.
I'm personally interested in any of the following:


Korg Legacy Collection DE
Novation V-Station
ELS Vocoder
CSR
Waldorf Attack
Voxengo AnalogFlux


I'm looking to update my dynamics a bit. I'd like to consider any future purchases to be 64-bit friendly.

Possible future considerations:

URS Channel Strip Pro
Waves SSL
UAD-2
LiquidMix


Anybody know anything???

I can confirm that Soundtoys ECHOBOY works under 8.5.3 with bitbridge. All the Amplitube stuff (including xGEAR) working under bitbridge.

I have quite a few plugins that all work under bit or J bridge except one. 

ALTIVERB will start to work using jbridge but crashes Jbridge quite often. ARAM from Audioease doesn't sound too hopeful that this plug will be ported over to 64 bit anytime soon.

So, I am using CW Perfect Space for alot of my IRs but can't access any of those wonderful Audioease IRs without Altiverb.

That's interesting.

What version of Echoboy are you using - and do automation envelopes work?

Thanks

Mtron pro runs fine.. Virtual String Machine does not.. when I try to load it I get a message that it won't run on Vista.
 

VSM works here on sonar 8.5.2 windows 7 64bit professional.
 
Proteus X2 however doesn't. it doesn't even show up in cakewalk's plugin manager so I guess it doesn't work. Doesn't work in stand-alone either, not even as administrator and XP compatibility mode. This software is not that old yet and the soundsets are still being offered so I'd actually expect Emu to patch the proteus engine to work with win7 instead of saying 'you can buy emulator x3'.

Bump. - Looking at some of the questions coming up recently it may help if this is easier to find.
 
One important update - Toontrack now has beta 64 bit versions of EZDrummer and Superior Drummer.

Bump - (as I just linked this to a question on the software forum.)
