Confused!

Bit Bridge only supports VSTs.  DX can be 32 or 64 bit, but there aren't many 64 bit DX's out there.

SONAR Producer has included 64bit Sonitus plug-ins for as long as they have been available.  There is no 64bit VST version of the Sonitus plug-ins, the format shipped with SONAR is 64bit DX. The Sonitus suite sold at the Cakewalk store is the 32bit with both VST and DX formats.

I didnt think DX was 64bit? Thats what bit bridge was for?

Bitbridge only loads VST plug-ins. Load the plug-ins in the DX section (top of the FX plug-in list above the separator), there is no BitBridge wrapper.

I didn't think DX was 64bit however I am wrong (as usual haha)

Why no VST version though?

I wonder if they have the source code for that.. wasn't the Sonitus suite originally licensed from a third-party vendor?
 
Regarding the inclusion of 32bit and 64bit versions, I'd imagine that's for people actually running SONAR x32.    Seems logical.

Cubase 7 is amazing. Absolutely amazing. The plugins alone are worth it.
Cakewalk have a lot of catching up to do!!

Now that I've been tooling around and actually recorded into Q7, I'd have to agree.
One thing I noticed that, [although not that big a deal], was how my plugins were all organized automatically into their respective categories, ie: EQs, Limiters, etc.
 
With Sonar, I spent close to an hour or so organizing them all.
 
With Q7 - done! And without me even knowing it. Very cool!
 
@burkek & Jackdied - I'm hoping you will get the same deal/package I did.
Not only did I get Q7 for $130 less than elsewhere, but it also included HALion 4 full version for FREE as well!
 
That's a $350 extra - and their flagship Grand Daddy of them all - on par with or possibly even superior to Kontakt, of which I have both.
 
So the way I look at it - I got HALion 4 for $350 - and Q7.0.5 for just $20 more!

Ultrafunk as far as I recall. Still my go to plugs after all these years.

Ah yeah, that sounds about right.   I never would have remembered that myself.   

Cubase ? 
 
You guys must be joking ... no audio bouncing, no decent freezing, mixer routing is primitive, 
so many useless tracks ... so many opened windows... so much scrolling around .. ;)
last version I tried (was it 6.5), I could not even SOLO a FX track and be able to hear the FX without having all other tracks feeding that FX soloed as well. What???
 
ASIO performance is laaame compared to Cakewalk, tried, tested ... you get MUCH more realtime power out of Sonar with VSTi's. that a fact. 
 
There are of course good stuff about Cubase, but jumping ship definitely is not worth it IMHO, upgrades are expensive, AND are also mostly bugfixes, just as CW. It, s a matter of choosing your set of bugs really... :)
 
Sorry to go against the general anger seen around here ... Sonar X2a has it's problem yes... I still can make a living out of it, as I did with X1, 8.5.3 and so on .. 
Cakewalk has always been kinda slow to get things right ... 
 
If you have bugs, report them, work around it. finish your song... move on!!!!! make music... it's never been this easy and accessible... 
 
Have a good day guys ! 
 
Cheers!

This discussion prompted me to check out some of the C7 videos, and I have to say, the videos are very nice.  C7 has some slick features for sure, and seems well thought out overall (though obviously not in every respect).
 
But after perusing their forums and reading the many complaints just about the new console view, or about the lack of bounce/freeze, I quickly realised that it's not all sunshine and roses.    As is the case here, it seems to very much depend on how you use the product and how tolerant you are about certain aspects.  But there were enough statements along the lines of "I'm using the previous version until they work out these @#$% bugs" or "why the @#$% did they change it when it was working just fine?" or "I just don't see anything worthwhile upgrading", to make it clear that the grass is the same color, it's just in a different yard.
