Studioverb 2 doesn't work in Sonar 64bit?

32 bit DirectX plugins do NOT work in Sonar 64 bit.  You'll find a full list of the plugins that aren't available in Sonar64 in the OP of the following thread:

There's also a list provided by Cakewalk with features that aren't yet compatible with Sonar64 at the bottom of this page:

HTH

Bet he wishes he would have seen this list before jumping in the 64bit arena eh? I know I wish I would have. :)

Moving to a 64bit Windows take allot of research. You need to find out the pro's and cons and make an educated decision on if you should go to a 64bit Windows.
Im still using a 32bit windows because the cons out wat my pros right now.

Actually, there's a work-around.  It involves wrapping those 32 bit DirectX plugs in a DX/VST container.

This way they are treated as normal VSTs/VSTis and can then be used in Sonar 64 bit via BitBridge.

I've never used it myself, but I believe this is the one some people use:

EDIT: To remove erroneous link.

Ooops!  You're right Karyn.

Thanks for pointing that out.  Hopefully, someone will chime in with the correct wrapper.

I'll delete the link from my previous posts as to not misguide anyone.


Take care!

There are a couple of DX->VST wrappers out there.  Unfortunately, they don't work with Studioverb 2 because it's tied to Sonar.  The plugin looks to make sure it's running inside of Sonar and the wrappers make it think that it isn't so it will fail to load.

For reference, some of the wrappers are:
Acon Effect Chainer

DxShell

FFX-4

I think Effect Chainer is the simplest one, but again, it doesn't work with Studioverb 2.

Isn't BitBridge (included in SONAR Producer) what is needed to run a 32bit plugin with 64bit SONAR?

(I realize that this thread is old but it is still my issue)
I am using X1 Producer Expanded on Win7-64. I had to do a 64-bit X1 install (second try) to use V-Vocal without crashing. But of course I lost Studioverb2, which I like better than anything else out there.

All I really have available now is sonitus:fx reverb. I've written down all the preset parameters from Studioverb, and in theory it should be possible to set the equivalents in some other reverb, but the translation is not obvious (and I'm an engineer). Has anyone done it? I really wish there were a new Studioverb2... Maybe I'll try to write a working wrapper.
