Hi
 
I've just bought X2. I wondered, can I keep my old sonar 7 producer when I install X2 or will the new install wipe it from the drive? I'd like to run both as I like different things on them.
 
 

Yes, you should leave SONAR 7 installed. The X2 will install in a separate directory and will pick up some of the configuration information from SONAR 7 during the install process.

Brilliant! thanks!

well I did it and it has now caused me problems...Some plugins have now disappeared even though I can see them in the VSTplugins folder. Producer 7 has completely lost Revalver (the main reason I wanted to keep sonar 7) and X2 is not showing several plugins...any suggestions? Complete technophobe here.

Can anyone help me?

Far and away the fastest way to address your issues is a call to tech support. But it is doable here too, it will just take a bit of Q&A. What OS are you running, if it is 64bit which SONAR platforms are installing. Where are looking for your VST plug-ins? Which plug-ins are not showing in X2?

hi, I'm running 64 bit on both X2 and producer 7. Revalver is not showing in producer 7 and TH2 is not showing in X2. They are showing in C/program files/cakewalk/vst plugins but not when I open sonar.

It is unusual that it only involves those two plug-ins. Is it possible the name of Revalver has changed in the list? If it is in a directory under vstplugins it may show in an unexpected place in the plug-in list. The plug-in manager reports names differently than before. The TH2 installed with X2 is called TH2 Producer. You might want to take a look in the plug-in manager to verify that the plug-ins are really missing and not in an unexpected location or excluded.

Not sure how to use the plugin manager correctly. I've opened it and the plugins are showing in the manager but not when I look for the plugins on the synth rack.

Correction:  they're showing in the folder VST audio effects instead of VST instruments
