Dim Pro x64 shuts off audio

Running x64 version of Sonar in Windows 7, when I insert Dimension Pro x64 into a new track, as soon as the new track is created the audio engine shuts off. The green light goes gray and stays that way even if I delete that track. Closing and reopening the project after deleting the track sometimes revives the audio engine and sometimes causes Sonar to become unresponsive and I have to kill it. Even if I create a new clean "Blank (no tracks or buses)" project and try inserting Dim Pro x64 I get the same result. Happens every time. Inserting Dimension Pro x32 works as expected; no problems.  All other Soft Synths work fine as well as audio plugins. Just Dim Pro x64 causes this. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Not sure if this is a bug or something amiss with my setup. 

FWIW, I'm inserting by choosing: Insert->Soft Synth->Dimension Pro x64 and choosing "Simple Instrument Track" in the options.

Nope, that didn't fix it. Guess I'm still looking for an answer. Anyone else experiencing this?

Oops! Hold on, I just realized that I haven't applied the 8.5.1 patch yet since re-installing on Windows 7. I'll do that now and see if it fixes it...be right back...

I also have the same problem. I installed Sonar PE 8.5 from the purchased install disks.

I did not try the other dim pro vsti as I was in a hurry and just used a diiferent soft synth. Will give the 32bit vsti a try and see if that works.

Hey guys-

Can you try running the 1.2 update to see if it helps?  More details in the Knowledge Base here about what could be the issue here:

The same thing happened to me last night.  After two hours and reinstall of Dimension Pro (8.5 version), activization and all, I found Trevorst's solution.  Now, I am having some MIDI delay problems when recording, the first trouble I've had with Sonar in months.  The latter I think is something I have done.

The delay I encountered is only in Dimension Pro.

I have the same issue. Win 7 64 SONAR 8.5.1 64. It's the vst version of Dim Pro that causes this, not the actual DX version which works fine. Yiu should be able to see both on your plug-in menu. Find the one that works and just exclude the other ones.

Same in VISTA x64bit but this is not a bug. All SONAR-users should use the x64bit DX-version of Dimension Pro only, not the VST-version. Then everything should work just fine.

It's working for me as well.  I got rid of the vst version all together.  Thanks everyone and thanks Cakewalk for these forums.

I believe it is the one you have circled.  That is where my DXi synth is, but I only installed the DXi version, 32 and 64 bit, respectively.

Select it, open task manager, and if Bitbridge is running then it is 32 bit--if not, then its 64 bit.  This works as long as you don't have any other 32 bit plugins running.

I still have the delay, but I'll work around using another synth.  Dim Pro x64 works properly in other sequences, and the audio engine is on!
