Does anyone know a fix for VST plugins that have no GUI. I have come across a few(Vacuumsound ADT and Airwindows ToTape5 ) that are suppose to have sliders but when I load the plugin, it loads, just no sliders to control it.

They don't have gui's, gui-less plugs look different in different daws, you probably saw a screen print of what it looks like in another daw.
Still works though.

i don't think sonar handles generic vst interface?

Chris for Airwindows puts it like this:

"Sonar Platinum is having issues I can't fix because they try to draw controls with broken code"

Thanks Everyone, creating the Fx chain wrapper from the thread did the trick. I never would have thought of that.

SONAR/Cakewalk broke (or allowed to become broken) gui-less VST support. It used to work back in the X1-X3 days. Someone who cares about it might need to report it to Cakewalk properly, so they can ignore it officially.

My work around is loading those plugins using BlueCatAudio Patchwork. I only have the plugin for using VSTs in Pro Tools, but now finally have use for it with Sonar as well.

There is a user on GS (Jeezo) that is using chainer FX to create custom GUIs for these types of plugins https://www.gearslutz.com/board/12713991-post492.html

I seem to pushing my system too much these days. That's the 4th time today I had to recover a project I'm working on. Also the sound driver seems to be a bit dubious and crashing. 1st world problems I know.

Air Windows plugs don't work very well in SONAR period.
Only thing is to make Fx Chains out of em.
