OS, programs and plugins recommended to be on the same hard drive.

Too late for that now, I've put the plug-ins elsewhere, but do the 32 bit melodyne plug-ins need to be in that x86 folder, or can I put them where I want to?

Right, well its done now, time will tell I guess... thanks very much for the hand-holding and have a great Christmas.
 
Cheers.

From a functional point of view VST plugins can go anywhere as long as Sonars VST Scanner has the paths to their location so they can be scanned.

From an organisational point of view there are some considerations though.
Also there are consideration about optimal performance that says having them on the same drive as your OS is preferred.

VST plugins can be moved after installation.

Shouldn't be an issue at all unless the drive where the VST's are on is particularly slow.  My VST's are on a different drive to the operating system as I regard VST's more like "data" than applications as I have so many of them, and as they can be shared across other applications other than Sonar.

Sorry to hijack your thread but since you are talking X3 upgrade I thought I'd ask. I just purchased the upgrade from X2 and the download links include Dim Pro 1.5 along with loops and one shots (3 parts) and the Dim Pro 1.5 expansion pack. Are these the same files from X2 in other words do I only need the four X3 parts and the Addictive drums download? Thanks guys.

Correct, if you have loaded the DimPro 1.5 and One Shots already, those are the same between X3 and X2. No need to re-install them.
 
FYI - The AD download is actually via their (XLN) online installer. You need to create an account on the XLN site and claim your redemption code from the CW store.

TY brother got it!
