[FIXED] 32 bit Session Drummer 2 Not Working On Windows 11

[sjoens]

Again Windows 11/Intel 12th gen seems to have broken something.

I have 32 bit Sonar installed on Windows 11 to open older projects.

32 bit Sonar completely ignores 32 bit SD2 during a scan.

Oddly, 64 bit Sonar/CbB picks up 32 bit SD2 and loads it just fine.

So what is the issue ?

AFAIA CbB is backwards compatible.

Yes but not all 32 bit plugins work in CbB. Nor do all 32 bit projects function properly in it, thus why I use 32 bit Sonar.

After much headache and trial & error I think it works now.

I wound up installing 32 & 64 bit Sonar 8  fully on my system and setting all the 32 bit Sonar app Compatibility Modes to Windows 7.

So far so good.

This could have been avoided if SD2 Kits & Programs could be read by SD3. Why can't they??!?

i installed SD 2 and SD 3 on my CbB - along with a number of older apps for old project compatibility. as far as i know, the SD 3 program files are different and not compatible. the sound files should be ok -- however you probably need to re-map them. but even with those projects that used the SD 2, as long as my project has the MIDI, i just use my AD 2 setup -- much nicer drum VI.

True, but I just like things to work. Every new turn seems to throw another monkey wrench into the works.

yeah, i've been re-doing a few old (like 2003 old) projects where i liked the overall feel and basically i just kept only the audio and midi. then re-do all the instruments and effects (and perhaps some performance updates 😉 )
