1. Yes, I did install Cakewalk on the same machine as Sonar. 2. No, Reinstalling Sonar didn't change a thing. 3. If you read post 117, I made a solution by creating two layouts that work, and I can even add plugins to them!

I don't use a mouse. I can't see. I would press enter on those dots, but it takes me to the previous page.

Funny you say that, as I'm not only a user of my machine, but I'm the owner and administrator as well.

I meant to say "FX" in my previous post, but my keyboard has been acting strange in Microsoft Edge. It seems to deliberately miss characters even though I've typed all the right characters. I wonder if it's the latest version of Microsoft Edge that has some kind of bug. Isn't there an "Edit Post" link next to my posts?

Interestingly enough, this works! Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy! I've managed to create two layouts, one for FX, and one for SoftSynths.

Is this within the plugin manager? I can't see what's in that screenshot as I am sight challenged. The only "Reset" button I found was in the "Audio Options" dialog box, but that obviously was probably not the one you were thinking of!

How would I reset? Is it under the parameter, "Reset Config File"? I did rescan, but nothing changed.

I tried that, and still nothing's changed. Should I attach the .ini file so you can see it?

I've written that line between [Markers View} and [Dump Request Macros]. I wrote it as you described. VSTPlugInNameFormat=1 I put two blank lines around that parameter. However, I'm confused, as I tried the plugin scan, and it didn't change anything. I feel like something's missing. Don't I need to put <> or [] around the parameters?

Are there two specific settings I should put it between?

There's two versions of the Cakewalk.ini file. One is in "C:\Program Data\Cakewalk\Sonar 8.5 Producer". The other is in "C:\Users\PCAudioLabs User\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Sonar 8.5 Producer". Which version do I edit? And, where specifically in the WinCake section would I put the line you're talking about?

Are you sure we're talking about the same version of Sonar? I have Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition 64 Bit.

In which part of the .ini file do I find that information?

Is there a way for me to change Sonar back to displaying the name of a plugin according to its file name? For example, instead of just "Aria Player", it should say "Aria Player VST (x64)". Is there a specific parameter that I need to configure to make this happen? Sonar only started acting this way after trying Cakewalk By Bandlab on Windows 7 and finding that screenreader accessibility was limited, though I'm not sure that has anything to do with what's happening. I uninstalled then reinstalled Sonar 8.5, thinking that had something to do with fixing it, but nothing's changed. What shall I do next? 😕

I'm currently reorganizing and reconfiguring plugins in Sonar 8.5, and there's a parameter within the "Plugin Properties" dialog box of each plugin that I'm not sure I understand. The parameter is a checkbox that says, "Serialize Host Access". What does it do? Should this checkbox be checked or unchecked?
