OK... this is working great.  I have one question, when did the SONAR track names start appearing in the GUI's title bar (is this an x64 only feature)?  What a wonderful thing, no more adjusting the wrong plugin by mistake.

Yeah, I think it is new to the x64 version.  That always bugged me with the BitBridge wrapped UAD plugins too.

I discovered an interesting anomaly with my installation of UAD 64... I had seen in other threads that the 64 bit versions of the "powered plugins" were defaulted to a UAD proprietary folder and that you needed to "delete" your 32 bit UAD vst folder and then add that new proprietary folder to your scan list...which I did.  No probs when opening and rescanning X2.  There were my new (YUM) 64bit UA plugs as they should be.  As I was also installing several other new plug purchases and had to rescan all my folders several times and during one of those scans I noticed something interesting:  The new 64bit UA plugs were also showing up in my C:Program Files/Steinberg/VST folder as well as the defaulted UA proprietary folder.  The UA install had not offered me a choice and I certainly didn't place them in the Steinberg folder.  But there they are.  No harm, it seems, just an interesting anomaly.  If you happen to have a 64bit Steinberg VST folder you might check as well and see if UA snuck them into there as well.

On mine that's where the VST plugins were installed; to the Steinberg folder. 

Look closely at the file sizes in both folders.  The Steinberg files are all 69KB and the ones in the UAD folder are various sizes, ranging from 1MB or so to as much as 16 or 17MB.  Also, the Steinberg folder has the mono versions as well.  I think the Steinberg folder houses the VST "shell" plugins that call or reference the DLL files in the Univeral Audio proprietary folder. 

I have my scan pointed to the Steinberg folder and everything is working well, including the mono plugins.  (There were no separate mono versions in the UAD proprietary folder.)
