getting soundforge plugins to work in 64 bit mode?

  has anyone got soundforge to show up in x2 pro, running win 7 64 bit? i really miss being able to use these soundforge f/x. i love the way sonar x2 runs in 64 bit, just wish i could use my go to plugins without xing out and going into 32 bit mode.

Not even with Bit-Bridging? Not that I EVER want to use Bit-Bridging again. WHEW!

  it's worth asking, because i get numerous 32 bit plugins to show up and i also get soundforge 9 to show up in my menu bar at the top of sonar 64 bit. also the new soundforge 10 says (new lol) it runs at a 64 bit floating rate? is this good news at all or just fluff. has anyone heard if soundforge 11 will take the plunge and be totally compatible in 64 bit mode? sorry to ask so many SF questions on this board, but lets face it. sonar x2 forums rock. it always seems i get some good help here. and SF and cakewalk have always worked great together in the past. been using them both sense cakewalk 6 in 97.

adding soundForge to Utility menu http://www.cakewalk.com/S...reader.aspx/2007013099

  does anybody use this technique for using soundforge plugins in real time sonar x2 64 bit? can anyone confirm this?

  see i get it to show up in the menu but when i highlight the tracks to be imported into SF 9 nothing happens. i used the http://www.cakewalk.com/S...reader.aspx/2007013099 to accomplish this...

If SoundForge runs but the selected wav does not load into SoundForge, more often then not, the registry entry Type is not set to WaveEditor (no spaces)

Review your registry entries.

Have been using SF and SONAR in tandem for many years.
With the ability to send a clip, track, section of audio or multiple tracks from SONAR to SF, edit them and then send the processed audio back to SONAR, there is no real need to use SF plugins in SONAR but SF 10 and SONAR can share the above plugins as stated. I use a free wrapper called FX Chainer which works well for using 32 bit DX/i in SONAR x64 but its no longer available for download.

Vegas 12 has gone full 64 bit and I expect SF 11 to go full 64 bit. Although I have to say I've never had an audio project I couldn't load in SF. that's either a stereo or multi track project.

Yes, I did this yesterday successfully.  I inserted the Sony ExpressFXDelay into a clip, and it worked like a charm.  I'm using X2 in 64 bit mode on Windows 7 64 bit.

  great news lynn, i am going to try it tonight.

Actually....the prog I mentioned is the one scook linked to in his post from kvraudio.  It does work...at least from my experience.  And I've used it with some OLD DX plugins.

  for the life of me i can't get this one right. once i get this to work, the plan is to stay in 64 bit until i get to the master stage, then drop it down to 32 in soundforge. i am using win 64 bit sonar x2. a am supposed to drop the shell2vst64 file into the soundforge.dll file i want to act like a vst? can someone simplify this for me or straighten me out? i 5 16 gig,asus, 1 tb,2 tb,win 7 -64bit,

  hey, good post. i do disagree with one of your statements though.there is good reason to use soundforge plugins in sonar x2. for me it gives me a great idea of what f/x i will be using later and how they will effect the sound and tone of the mics on instruments while still on the mixing board of sonar x2. it's too much time to for me to export separate files all the time to hear how this will effect my mix. i like the eqs in soundforge and love the noise reduction. also don't mind the compressor either. these are key plugins that are placed in my f/x bins before they get to boost 11 on the master bus. so to say there is no reason to use em en sonar i respectfully disagree. besides there is no wrong way to make great music with plugins.

Of course my posts are only my opinion and based solely on my work flow habits. didn't meant to imply anything else.
 
I use progs like dxshell as well as the other wrapper FX Chainer and so have access to all my SONY DX plugs in SONAR x64. I just have so many plugins that I only use SONY's Wave Hammer (which is just exceptional) within SONAR. It is a singularly exceptional plugin.
 
I pretty much use SF 10 when I'm mastering or when I have batch processing of audio to do such as creating samples etc or massive amounts of converting wavs to mp3s or some other such project.
 
With in SF 10 I tend to use the VST's with which I've already become familiar like Ozone 5 Adv, RX 2 - but the project dictates the tools in the end.
 
And I certainly agree that that there are no hard and fast rules.

Installing the 32 bit version of Sonar is completely free and it runs 32 bit plug-ins like a charm, and doesn't take much extra space alongside the 64 bit install.
 
Bridging, wrapping and other assorted hoop jumping who needs it?
 
It's not like you have to keep your 32 bit version updated with all your latest and greatest plug-ins to stay in sync with your 64 bit version if you don't relish the idea of keeping two versions in step with each other you don't have to.
 
But man if you have a real need to use your old 32 bit DX stuff or VST(i)'s that don't like being bridged it's the most perfect solution.  The lengths people seem to go to in order to appear to stay as 64 bit purists seems bizarre to me, especially when if you think about it any advantage of running native 64 bit is lost as soon as you introduce anything 32 bit in the chain. What does x-ing out even mean?
 
Just run the stuff you need natively.  Most decent installers these days just drop the appropiate version in both x86 and x64 folders anyway, so all you're doing is keeping the stuff you say you don't want to do without without giving yourself the headaches of trouble-shooting bridged and wrapped garbage.
 
Simple is good.

FWIW...I had used a ton of the Soundforge DX effects in the Sonar 32bit envronment with great success. As I now have built a complete 64 bit X2 rig, all those plug-ins are lost in time, like tears in rain....(sorry..) 
They do show up under the previously discussed DX shell, and work fine..BUT...they do not load up in your projects, so youse got to insert them all over again which is a pain. 
I just deleted the "missing " entries all together and used wrapped 32 bit VST's or 64 bit versions.
Boy I would LOVE to have Sony/SoundForge offer those DX effects as VSTs!
