I'm on Win XP 32bit SP3.

However, Antares does have a 10 day functioning download demo to
see if it works with your system.

I had Autotune 3 on an older machine, but didn't transfer over to my present DAW.

It might have been DX if I recall......

Odd that it doesn't read your vst from the folder.....

Best of luck with the demo.

If you're intersted, the new EVO is pretty nice.... leaves the sound a bit clearer
and the new graphical mode is much improved and highly flexible when you need it.

I tried an experiment, I installed my old Sonar 4 Producer(which of course is 32bit) on the same system. Antares Autotune 3 and Antares mic modelor showed up(and worked) as did Drum-a-gog.

Those 3 plug ins dont show up in Sonar Producer 8(64 bit) even after a scan.

I think I will try the trial Download of Drumagog and make sure it's working, I guess
I will have to buy it again uggggggggggh

I am very intrigued by this Antares EVO, I never heard of it till you mentioned it. Glancing through the Antares site, it looks way cooler than the older version. Though it is kind of pricey!

Again I really appreciate all the help!

It appears that 32-bit DX plugins do not work in 64-bit Sonar, period. See http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1624190&mpage=1&key=�
and especially http://www.cakewalk.com/support/kb/kb2005282.asp (down at the bottom).
BitBridge only works with VST plug-ins.

If the plugins that don't show up in S64 are DX plugins (rather than VST plugins) - that's probably why.
If you install/run Sonar 8 as a 32-bit application, they will probably show up again.
Your other option is to get Antares etc. to port their plugins to be 64-bit DX plugins (good luck with that -- almost nobody is making new DX plugins these days...)

HTH,

Jim Wright, that was the problem. So I guess it was senseless to think this 64bit deal was an Upgrade when all my fav plugins only work in 32 bit environment
