Hi! I wonder if someone can help me please. I am using Sonar Platinum with Windows 10. I'd like to install the plug-ins from Sonic Timeworks that came with Sonar 2XL. In fact I've already installed them from Sonar 2XL CD, with the DirectXUtility.exe but I can´t get them workking. I can see the actual files are on folder "C:/Program Files(x86)/Cakewalk/Sonic Timeworks", but not listed in the "Cakewalk Plug-in Manager" on Sonar Platinum, nor available to insert in a FX Rack. Any idea? 
Thanks in advance.

Every once in a while I open an old project with Timeworks all over it.
Sorry I don't have a work around, but I've bookmarked this just in case scook can help.

Exactly, that is my problem. Working on an old project.
Welcome, be my guest.

The 64-bit version of SONAR doesn't support 32-bit DirectX plugins which is what those are.
 
Here are some possible solutions:
- Use the 32-bit version of Platinum.
- Use the old version of SONAR that the plugins came with. I usually just end up doing this since I rarely dig into those old projects.
- Use a DX to VST bridge plugin that supports 32-bit DX plugins (not sure settings get automatically transferred in this case).
- Purchase the plugins from Timeworks who I believe made a 64-bit build available at some point (also not sure about settings transferring).

Thanks a lot, Dave76.
I'll try my best in option 3 ;) ... it can be useful to use other 32-bit DX plug-ins too.
