Pretty sure that is one of the DSP FX series which was never ported to 64bit. The best solution for old projects that rely on 32bit DX plug-ins which were never ported to 64bit is Install the most recent version of 32bit SONAR available adding any missing 32bit plug-ins from older versions of SONAR Open the projects in the 32bit DAW, take stock of the 32bit only DX plug-ins then either Bounce the tracks or Migrate to plug-ins that have 64bit versions

I have not used a directory junction in this specific case but it should work. Here are the steps to relocate C:\ProgramData\Arturia to D:\Arturia Using Windows Explorer move the Arturia folder in C:\ProgramData to the D drive In C:\ProgramData open a command window as administrator Enter mklink /j Arturia D:\Arturia Of course, the Arturia folder could be placed on any drive under any folder or even renamed as long as the junction called Arturia created by mklink exists under C:\ProgramData and points to the new path containing the contents in the original C:\ProgramData\Arturia folder.

There were two different versions of a Pantheon plug-ins bundled with SONAR. Originally, SONAR included a surround version. It worked in stereo and surround sound tracks. This was 32bit only. Later, when the 64bit version of SONAR was introduced a stereo only version of Pantheon was included which was 32bit and 64bit. The 64bit version of this plug-in will work in CbB. If the projects have the 32bit version of the second plug-in, CbB will automatically replace them with the 64bit version.

When using automation for CC data, it will not be available in the PRV but it will be available to the inline PRV To use the regular PRV, CC data must be recorded like the rest of the MIDI data or entered directly into the controller pane in the PRV.

The documentation for this section appears unchanged from SONAR 8.5. The status bar was removed starting with X1.

I wrote a tool that does this. It is called Launch Pad. The thread about it and my other tools is here. Links to the download page are in the thread. Launch Pad makes a copy of the existing DAW and allows switching between versions. To use it: Download the zip Unzip it into the folder of your choice Run Launch Pad Use quick copy from the File menu (keyboard shortcut K) Close Launch Pad Install the early release (or any CbB release) Run Launch Pad - both versions of CbB are available in the drop down in the bottom left of the UI. The program includes documentation and built-in help. NOTE: The tool maintains separate copies of the program but relies on the same "Shared Folder" utilities. IOW, there is only one version of the plug-in manager and scanner in this case the Early Release version. Keep in mind if you elect to use Launch Pad, it is best to always use it to start CbB or a project. When starting CbB outside of Launch Pad make sure to use the version last run from Launch Pad or enable the "Restore CW130Audo.dll on Exit" option in the File menu if always running the default CbB outside of Launch Pad.

Here is a list of the plug-in bundled with CbB. For BandLab to include the Nomad plug-ins in CbB, they would have to pay a license fee to the owners of the plug-ins. Since CbB is already installed consider these steps to get Platinum content installed uninstall CbB see the image below install SONAR Platinum using Cakewalk Command Center re-install CbB

The bundled Pantheon reverb is a DX plug-in. It should not be copied into a folder in the VST scan path.

Either use the Cakewalk preset manager (A, B, C and D) in the image below or modify the ini file to use the Sonitus plug-in manager like this Right-click the ini file and select Properties from the context menu Click Security tab in the Properties window Click the Edit button Click on Users Click on Write Click OK Note the other ini files in the "Shared Plug-ins" folder for the other Sonitus plug-ins will need to be updated to use the preset manager in those plug-ins too.

WASAPI is usually the best choice for Win10 when a good ASIO driver is not available. WDM/KS is usually the best choice for older OSes when a good ASIO driver is not available. MME is the most basic and worst performing option (not counting the options that may not work at all) Another option is ASIO4All. This uses the WDM driver and presents it to the DAW as an ASIO driver. Reported results with ASIO4All are mixed.

May want to try the another driver modes. IIRC, the Realtek ASIO driver is not very good.

The image was fine by me but animated gifs are quick and easy to create

The larger drag hot spot is on the left side of the track header but it also extends on a line under the name and buttons to the right of the name

To modify volume for tracks with volume envelopes use offset mode. recently discussed here Tracks without volume envelopes may be adjusted together too by creating a quick group. Quick groups are also discussed in the linked post.

I believe the pdf is updated with every release now. This may be easier to work with. The url for the web based help is http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=toc.html Both the pdf and web based help have links in the Cakewalk by BandLab tab at the top of this forum. There are links to the web based help in the program under the help menu too. Search is built into the site hosting the help. It is on the far right of the banner at the top of the page. Unfortunately the current help is not part of the web based search. The search returns results for older DAWs. Changing the urls in the search results from SONAR to the current product usually returns the correct page. For example, searching for "reorder" returned https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X2&language=3&help=Arranging.03.html as the 4th result. Changing the product from SONAR X2 to Cakewalk returns the current page like this https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.03.html Granted this is not the best. I usually go straight to the current help index and use the browser to search for keywords.

glad to help

Yep

Thanks for the info. I had no clear recollection of the installers. VST2, VST3 and PC modules all rely on the VST scanner to build the appropriate registry entries for CbB. Just checked my install and it appears I too installed just the VST3 and PC modules.

I am guessing they are still in the installers. I bought the plug-ins some time ago. PC modules are based on VST2 so the VST scanner must be run in order for the plug-ins to show up.

Download and install X3. The installers should be in your old Cakewalk account You can skip installing the DAW and jinstall the plug-ins by running the installer, selecting 64bit and advanced install options then select the parts to install although it may be easier to just run a full install. Plug-ins included with CbB http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Plug-ins.1.html Plug-ins included with X3 http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=Plug-ins.1.html For Addictive Drums use the XLN Audio installer. There is a link to it on this page https://www.xlnaudio.com/demos

AFAIK all SoundToys are VST2 but the three delays I looked at EchoBoy, EchoBoy Jr and PrimalTap all have a Bypass button which may be automated. Consider using an automation lane to draw the envelope instead of recording it. To record automation, write enable automation in the header above the plug-in UI (the W just above the Bypass button) and click the Bypass button while the transport is running. Writing automation does not depend on Recording. For more info see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Automation.06.html

Depends on the plug-in If it is a VST3 look for a "host bypass" option in the plug-in parameters. Other formats may have an on/off option in the plug-in parameters if the plug-in UI has an on/off button (wet/dry or mix may also work). If the plug-in has neither of these available the effect is still possible but may use clip FX racks or additional buses.
