Hi, me again.
I've asked this before. 
IS there a way to get Cakewalk Sound Center working on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit? They make a crazy static noise when I play them.
There are some really decent sounds there! And quite a few!
Has anyone found out how to use those older Cakewalk plugins? Or is it just a lost cause?
I tried a file someone directed me to awhile ago, but no luck.
Thanks

Have you tried loading the CSC programs into Rapture Session?

Hey, that sounds interesting... how do you do that?

If Rapture Session was installed after CSC, the programs should already be in the Rapture Session browser. Add the synth to a project, open its browser and look for the CSC bank. On my system, it is the last bank.

That sounds really good!
So... I got sonar platinum all at once, (I didn't upgrade from a different version) I'm not sure if Rapture came before CSC.
But, you say there should be a folder or directory where you choose the presets, that says CSC? Sweet!
And if not... can I somehow manually load the patches from CSC into Rapture?

Rapture Session is not Rapture.  Rapture Session is a different synth with a separate installer outside the SONAR family of installers. If you installed Rapture Session before CSC, the easiest way to migrate CSC into Rapture Session is rerun the Rapture Session installer. This will migrate all the DPro, Rapture and CSC programs into Rapture Session and set up the appropriate registry entries for Rapture Session to find the multisample folders for each synth.

Ohh... i thought all the plugins with the word "Sessions" tagged on were a smaller version of a full program. Like how Lounge Lizard Sessions is a watered down version of the full program.
Cool. I really appreciate this info!
So, you are able to use these 32bit plugins through Rapture Sessions? With no audio glitches?
I will certainly try it!
Thanks again!

Rapture Session is a player only version of Rapture Pro. Like Rapture Pro, it can load programs from CSC, Dimension Pro/LE, Rapture and Rapture LE. SONAR includes 32 and 64bit versions of Rapture Session.

You're not actually using a 32-bit plugin, just the associated data files (which may be FLAC, SFZ or 24-bit WAV, all of which are universally compatible). You're getting around needing a 32-big plugin by using 64-bit Rapture to host those files.
 
BTW, 32-bit plugins generally do work in 64-bit SONAR, but not quite 100% of the time.

One of the things I love about Sonar is that I'm always learning new things about what it can do and sound processing in general.
I live in California where it's about 7:30am. I'm about to go start Sonar and give your suggestions a try!
One last question (maybe)...
Do I need to choose between the 32bit and 64bit versions of Rapture Sessions when I try reinstalling it? Can I have both installed at the same time? And, I assume I should use Command Center, right? Sorry about so many questions!
