I wonder if Waves will stop supporting SONAR entirely now? They r funny like that. Like many of you, I am invested in quite a few Waves plugs.

I would think every developer will ignore Sonar from now on, unless an agreement on moving forwards is reached very soon. Why put development into the detail of non-existent platforms? Most of these developers are small businesses which can't afford unnecessary overheads.

Latest Waves version (9.91) seems to support Sonar Platinum (VST3). https://www.waves.com/sup...-specs/supported-hosts
 
But I'm sure that Waves will stop supporting Sonar from now on.
 
I have 40-50 Waves plugins, and I will keep on updating them and my OS. Also decided not to continue working on Sonar anymore and why should I - it's a dead platform! I have projects to finish and I can't take that risk that one day some 3rd party plugins start to glitch.
 
The most stupidest advice what I've seen here: take your computer off the internet to prevent OS and software updating. No. Just no. It's better to move on, forget Sonar and continue working on a new DAW.
 

What special support is there? Sonar supports the VST standard which Waves plugins are available in. Waves aren't going to stop support for VST.

Back in 2013 some Waves plugins suddenly started glitchin' (black GUI screen, GUI graphics halting, etc.) on Sonar X1 because Waves stopped supporting X1. It wasn't about VST standard, just an issue between Sonar X1 and latest Waves plugins.

OK, so probably some incompatibility. I doubt if they will suddenly remove whatever they fixed then.

SPLAT has just become an easier platform to support for Waves though because its likely that users who stick around will be on 2017-10. Monthly updates were probably not popular with the developers now Waves pretty much know that if something breaks it was not the Cakewalk developers that broke it.
 
Right now if I was a third party add on developer I wouldn't do anything to alienate the SPLAT users until I know how many decide to carry on using SPLAT; first because they will still be potential customers and second because when they do switch to another platform they probably won't be buying from a developer who abandoned them.
