Yes I'm using the x64 version before its asked. I've checked the about section just to verify something wasn't screwed up.
 
My directories goes like this
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Instruments\32 Bit Instruments\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Instruments\64 Bit Instruments\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Effects\32 Bit Effects\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Effects\64 Bit Effects\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
 

 
Now everything looks right in the Sonar preferences...I could of made it scan my directories at C:\Music Production\Plugins\ 
and just stop there, but I didn't feel the need to include an extra jBridge Folder when there's bit bridge. So this is My Vst preferences.
 

 
After rescan and opening the drop down menus to insert a VST I am only left with VST2 -Plugin name- (32-Bit) All are found yes.
Then also "1 VST3 plugin I know theres more VST3 plugins but thats for another time" 
and Direct X which I can care less about.
 
But nothing saying (64-Bit) at all. I was planning to use only the x64 version of X3 since it has bit bridge and I wouldn't need to open an alternate x86 version...but it seems like the whole purpose is gone here.
 

 
I'm 100% sure my x64 plugins work in other daws this way...but I could never get the plugin menus the way I want them in Sonar...there's always a area missing. Do I need to make a plugin layout? Even when I go there they are still not listed. There when I try to go under VST Configuration and click Options or Plug-in Properties I get this every time.
 

 
Some of you never have a problem with the menus, but it seems like I always do going from S4 SE, S5 SE, S8 PE, X1 - X3 PE. Can anyone help me out with this one because I am really lost on this please?
 
Oh yeah
 
Sonar X3 PE
Windows 8 E
Intel core I5
8 GB ram

Think I've got it. A couple of Rob Papen plugins we're making the scan completely hang...
 
I had to go into the VST Settings and hit scan on startup, disable scan failed plugins, and disable rescan existing plugins and hit the reset option. Then on start up the plugin banner on the bottom right stopped at the hanging plugins...I had to hit the x button in the banner each time for them to get excluded/blacklisted close Sonar and reopen for it to further scan. So now its just up to finding out whats wrong with the plugs themselves.
 
Just to help others.
