I initially had a problem,when I first bought and tried to use the Tapes Tubes and Transistors bundle,where only the 32 bit stereo version of the Kramer Tape would show,and no 64 bit was to be found.

I then got support to help me go to the registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software\ Cakewalk VSTx64 \ Inventory,and delete any waves entries,relaunch Sonar,scan,well this didn't work,but while I was in the registry,I noticed the 64 bit Kramer Tape was in a list of "disabled"plugs[but Sonars plugin manager DID NOT show this.


So I deleted the disabled entry,the 64 sereo version showed,but Iv'e since gone on to spend stupid amounts of money,and not had another problem[fingers VERY crossed].


As far as Sonar always having your issue,thats a weird one,though I did get told that "this happens in some Sonar setups" that was all,and even though their fix didn't work,I was able to luckilly figure it,sorry this doesn't really help much,but that was my experience.

Yep I remember jumping through hoops with waves.  Also I still have GUI issues with 1 knob series.  If you have a couple of knobs (ooeer) they distort visually.  

Make sure some of your plugs are loaded with the correct waves version.  I know waves 9 installer only supports a handful of my plugs.   So I have to install 8 and 9.  Yay. 

Are versions 8 and 9 both supporting 64 bit? 

"Only V9 is 64 bit and no bloomoin iLok",their new licensing system is a breeze,as you have a choice of USB,Computer,or Cloud,I think,as I just use the USB stick method which means you can use a regular one,I have a 32GB Lexar,with a ton of other stuff on it,yet its so tiny,I leave it plugged in for fear of losing it.

I had GUI issues where when I open any Waves plug it would be blank. I think this mostly has to do with the video card. I installed a Gforece 210 card with 1gb and haven't had GUI issues since. I know There is a problem with some Intel video cards, at least there was with mine. It had 4gb on it to. The down grade is worth not having GUI issues though. I also installed another firewire card. The one built on my motherboard was a supported VIA chipset but there must have been a problem with it because I was getting constant crashed with sonar. Even closing Sonar crashed it. The firewire I installed has a TI chipset and so far no crashes at all. I was having so many issues with Sonar that I was just going to switch to Protools. I had re-imaged my pc 4 times and still had a ton of issues. After installing these to cards no problems. (knock on Wood)(fingers Crossed)(Good luck charm hanging of my monitor)
 
Anyway of than the Waves installation issue everything is going good with Sonar.

Yup...you have to simply rescan all your vst plugs...no need to reinstall all your waves stuff EXCEPT...make sure when you run the waves installer to install your new plug that you also have all your old waves plugs checked as well...which they should be by default.
 
Oh ! after having purchased new Waves plug-ins and during the in stallation process (Wolli) I've made the mistake to uncheck my existing Waves plug-ins (I was misled by the indications which insit on the fact that you have to select only the plugs for which I have a licence but I thought it dealed just with the new ones since my former Waves plugs have been already installed !) : RESULT : MY FORMER WAVES PLUG-INS HAVE DISAPPEARED !
I don't even dare launching Sonar for fear of getting a shambles...The Waves installation system is still not very logical (damn, I'm pissed)
Can I just repeat the installation process and will all the plugs override automatically the existing ones ? Or have I to uninstall all my Waves folder and if the case, could you tell me how to uninstall correctly ?
Thank you very much for your help
