Not sure if this is relevant to this thread, but I will mention it anyway considering the circumstances with the software. 
 
If you use Sonar Pro, while it is not mentioned that it has following 3 plugins, by making a simple change to the folder name and .dll files you can use these in Sonar Pro. Actually a MOD posted this information a while back after there was a problem with these plugins not showing up in Sonar Platinum for a user and that's where this information comes from. 
 
These 3 plug ins.

Simply go to the folder :   C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal
 
And rename the Folders and the .dll files in them with "Original_" without the quotes obviously. 
 
Example Folder : Original_StPX64        DLL Contained in that folder : Original_StPX6464
 
Do this for : StTL64   ,   StPX64  , StVX64,  and the .DLL files in those 3 folders, just add "Original_", after doing that and scanning your VST's you will find those 3 plug ins available and fully functional in Sonar Pro. 
 
I have no idea if they will work in another daw, but if your using Sonar pro they will work for it I know because I have Sonar Pro.
 
Good luck all!
 

This doesn't seem to work with V-Vocal

I really have to start accepting default file locations when I'm installing stuff. It took me an hour to find all the plugin folders from five previous installations of SONAR. The good news is most of it seemed to work. At least the plugins did appear in the Studio One browser. Haven't had time to actually use them.
 
PS: I have almost never used V-Vocal, but when I did I kind of liked it. But so far I haven't been able to make it appear in S1. Anybody know why not?

The dx to vst wrappers have been around a long time. They are not host specific. I do not think it is a good idea to rely on this solution. It is similar to relying on bridging software to run 32bit plug-ins in 64bit hosts. It just buys time while looking for replacements.

 
Are you all paying attention! Not that I need this as I'm staying with Sonar.

Just so you'll know and everyone else, I never said it would work in ANOTHER DAW. I said the method I used made it work in Sonar Pro. It's not supposed to be included in Sonar Pro, but this is how you can add it to SONAR PRO.

Sorry, Mr. Noize. I didn't mean to point my comment at you. I was talking about getting Cakewalk bundled plugins working with other DAWs, which is what the original post was about.

These days, time is worth buying 

These three plugin work ok for me in Sonar. No need to do anything.

Johannes H,
The web page below seems to indicate that Mixcraft should work natively with DX plugins. Are you saying that DX plugins did not work in Mixcraft prior to doing the procedure that Craig posted?

No need to say Sorry, I was just letting everyone know there was a method to activate those plug ins in Sonar Pro, and the way I found out about it was here on the forums from a Mod talking about those plug ins not showing up in an earlier version of Sonar Platinum.
 
That forum conversation at the time was meant for Platinum users. But at the time they were having problems with that versions plug ins NOT SHOWING up in scans, so the fix was to change the name and it was posted here in the forums. I found that it worked with Sonar PRo after reading that thread, and all the sudden those 3 plug in's work with Sonar Pro.   
 
Thought I would mention it, because if your still using Sonar Pro, considering the circumstances, it might be worth doing. 
 
As for me, I just record my own music, I am not a pro studio, but I have the means to do so with Sonar Pro.. 
 
I will continue to use Sonar Pro as long as I can and am not abandoning ship. But I don't blame anyone for doing so, especially if they are running a pro studio using Cakewalk software because operating systems update frequently using Windows software and such things. 
 
The fact that cakewalk started supporting Mac's, I am left to wonder if Gibson wasn't thinking that the support cost would double or maybe more because of that fact.  
 
Oh well, those are my thoughts. 
 
Best wishes! And happy Holidays!
