Hi - new computer, Win 7 64 bit, TTS-1 is missing & a few 3rd party plugs won't load like Edirol super Quartet. Any idea why? 32 bit plugs should work in 64 bit programs. Thanks.

Which version of Sonar did you install ?

How did the install go ?

Are you running Sonar as administrator, not just from an administrator account ?

X-1...i'm the only user - do i need to do more to run as administrator? Right click every time I open it? Thanks for the reply. Install seemed to be OK.

Make sure that the plugins you listed are 64bit ready and that you have installed any updates/patches that those plugins need for the 64bit realm.

You also need to make sure you have scanned the 64bit vst folder where the 64bit plugin dll's are resting in

OK thanks.

Edirol plugins are not even Win 7-compatible. What OS were you using on your old computer?

XP..I miss it

I'm not sure as to why, but the normal recommendation is to "run Sonar as administrator" which you can do by either right-clicking or by changing the properties of the exectuable or shortcut to always do it.

Is TTS-1 present in the ..\Cakewalk\Shared Components\Shared DXi\TTS-1 folder ?

Are you missing any other synths/instruments/plugins ?

Have you patched your X1 with the X1d patch ?

Correction: 32 bit VST plugs should work in 64 bit programs. 32-bit DXi plugins cannot be bridged using the built-in bridge, which is specifically for VSTs (although I've heard that a DX-to-VST wrapper can be used for this purpose). 


All 32-bit DX plugins are therefore going to be incompatible with 64-bit SONAR, so if you want to continue using them in a 64-bit environment you'll have to find 64-bit versions of them. 


The Edirol Super Quartet, being an older product (maybe no longer supported?) probably doesn't have a 64-bit version available. However, it's likely that it was released as both a DXi and as a VSTi, as many products were around that time. You may be able to re-install it, and perhaps the installer will give you the option of using one or the other. 


The TTS-1 does have a 64-bit version that should have been installed with SONAR 64. A re-install of 64-bit SONAR may be in order.


An alternative to consider: run 32-bit SONAR on your new machine for projects that require 32-bit DXi plugins. It can be installed alongside the 64-bit version without problems and will do just fine for projects that don't use large sample libraries. 

great thanks1
