Hello.
 
I'm used to using 2 DAW(Sonar X1(2) and Ableton live8) depending on genres.
I want to use Sonitus plugins in Ableton live 8 but don't know how to do.
 
I tried to copy every Sonitus***.dll files in "cakewalk/shared plugins" folder to
the vst folder(cakewalk/vstplugins) but Ableton doesn't recognize the dll files(sonitus plugins) and
doesn't appear in vst menu (of course other plugins in the folder are recognized).
 
My OS is windows 7 x64, Sonar X1 and X2 are 64bit and Ableton Live 8 is 32bit.
I tried to install 32bit Sonitus plugins and copied but Ableton still doesn't recognize. 
 
I searched this forum and found one related thread but couldn't get sollution so I tried to post here.
Is there anyone who know about this please help me.
 
Thanks
JunL

you can't; the ones included with sonar are dx not vst; you could upgrade to the vst version in the store, but they are 32bit only... hth

I just ran a quick test of this.  I loaded up Brainspawn's Forte, which is a VST host wrapper (like a rack for soft synths), and I was able to insert the Sonitus delay wih no problem.

I just had the path specified in the options for Forte and it both found and loaded the Sonitus Delay just fine.

I'd buy a set of 64 bit Sonitus VSTs but it seems like they don't exist.

yes, i 've been to the store hoping to so too but no go; i ended up with the wavearts suite as my bread'n'butters
 
also yes, as bob points out, you could use a rapper of some kind to expose them in other non-dx hosts

another solution is to rewire live into sonar.. I'd do that myself , IF I owned live, but they stink at delivering their product (I cancelled after 4 weeks of waiting) .  I'm guessing when bitwig is released, it might be a nice wake up call for them.
