I've successfully set up RX 6 as an external audio editor in the Utilities menu.  I can set up RX Monitor and Connect, but I can't seem to properly transfer audio between RX 6 and Sonar.  Anyone have any suggestions, or can direct me to any videos where I can learn how to do this properly?  Thanks.
 
 

Here is a knowledge base article that goes over the setup. I think this would still be the same.

Hi JSchneyer, 
Here's how I do it:
 
Right click the clip I'd like to edit
Choose "Process Effect", then RX Connect
Select either "Repair" or "Reference", and click OK
 
The clip is then transferred to RX where I make my edits
 
To get it back in Sonar:
Click "Send Back" in RX - RX will tell you it's waiting for RX Connect
In Sonar, again right click the clip and choose "Process Effect" and RX Connect - the clip will appear inside the RX Connect box
Choose OK
 
Hope that helps

.

Or try this. this working in my case:
 
Mark clip or section in audioclip.
Right click: process effect -> audio effects -> RX6 Connect
In dialog from RX connect click "OK"
do your work in RX 6 editor
In RX6 editor: "send back"
return to SONAR --->
In Sonar: Right click: process effect -> audio effects -> RX6 Connect
In dialog from RX connect click "OK"
Ready !!
 
Note:
Don't click "repair". That has never worked for me.
And since RX6 the clip is split if you edit a section of the clip.
 
iZotope RX within the Utilieties menu has never worked for me.
 

Thanks for the input, guys.  I'll give it a try.  However, I think Lance misunderstood my inquiry as I had already successfully set up RX6 as an external editor, using the same information he provided.  

I set up RX6 in the utilities menu per Lance's instructions and it works great (thanks Lance!). I've tried using the RX Connect, and it also works, but it seems like a LOT of extra steps compared to simply selecting a clip and then sending it to RX via the utilities menu. Am I missing some cool advantage to using RX Connect? (I hope this isn't considered hijacking... it seems pertinent, I think).

Actually, instead of trying to (not) hijack the thread, I suppose I could've tried to be helpful to the OP...
 
JSchneyer- Since it is listed in your Utilities menu, it should work. Have you tried selecting the clip you want to edit & then selecting RX6 from the Utilities menu? When you do that, it should launch RX6 & load the clip. Perform your edits & then choose "overwrite original file" from RX6's file menu. Then return to Sonar & it should ask you if you want to reload the file. Say yes. (On my system, if I stay in RX6 too long, Sonar may appear to forget the clip & not ask if you want to reload it. My workaround is to do a few quick edits, reload to Sonar & then return to RX6 for more as needed).

Hi Greg, I don't know of any particular advantage to using RX Connect, just different ways of skinning the same cat I think.

I use RX6 a lot, always going through the whole routine wih RX Connect. It usually works fine, although very lately I've found that it sometimes (not always) creates a second track lane with the modified audio instead of substituting the audio I selected with the new audio.
 
When I do the registry edit as described in the knowledge base, RX 6 shows up in the Utilities menu, but it doesn't work. That is, I select a clip, then select RX6 from Utilities. SONAR then tells me it is copying a file. When that finishes, I get the message "Could not create process". RX 6 opens, but there is no wave in the window, just a flat line. 
 
Has anyone solved this?
