Are the new plugins locked in to X3 only? Especially AD, BlueTubes, etc.



BlueTubes: Yes, locked to SONAR
Addictive Drums: No, not locked


I was going to buy a new drum plugin coz I've only got abbey road 70's (and of course Session drummer), so this info makes it easy to go for an uppgrade to X3.
I think X3 looks very good (both visual and features).
Only problem now is that my homestudio is a mess. Going to move to another part of my house.
So while I'm rebuilding my studio, maybe you guys (Cakewalk) can make this release the best ever.
 
I'm exited

I  asked a similar question yesterday but didn't get an answer so I'll ask here as well.
 
The AAS Lounge Lizard EP-4 model that comes with X3 is a 'Sonar Edition'.
Is this version or the upgrade to the full version proprietary to Cakewalk software only?



The versions of AAS instruments shipped with SONAR are locked to SONAR X3 or newer and have a subset (an impressive subset) of the features of the full version.

Thanks Bill,
 
The AAS EP-4 is very nice & plan to upgrade to the full version as well.

Bill, is there an outline of these differences available?

The Strum Acoustic actually runs ok in Project 5.
Lounge Lizard doesn't.  Which is okay, I had no reason to expect that it would.  However I find it a little annoying that while most of the other locked plugins give you an message box telling you that it is locked, this one does not.  It is just silent.
