I've had Cakewalk and SONAR since the 90's. I think I did this one project in SONAR X2. It uses Dreamstation DXi and things like Cakewalk fxFlanger and oh Tassman, who remembers that one? I think that was the first SONAR version. Anyway, long gone from this computer. I sort of tried to think about saving the VSTs and DXis etc. but Cakewalk did a pretty good job of hiding them so some seem really permanently lost.
I open up this old file that has all these references and I can see the content, but when I try to play it, I get the dialog attached below. I don't think there's anything wrong with the audio interface as it is properly selected and other projects work fine. I disabled all the missing plugin references but didn't go as far as to remove them yet.
Anyone know what I should do?
Obviously I should replace the plugins with their equivalents, or forget about them. Just wondered if them even being there would have this symptom.
