OUT FREAKING STANDING ! Thanks folks and thank you Meng !

I’m on Dark as well and also have the latest/greatest version. if I remember correctly all my VST3 were blue but as I said now they are the same color as my VST2’s - black. just odd….

Hi folks - I just noticed this so not sure when this changed but not that long ago in the menu where you select plugins it used to be that the VST3’s were (I think) blue and the VST2’s were black. Now they are all black ? Did I miss something ?

I recently opened a project that had been untouched since 2007. It opened flawlessly except for the plugins that had been jettisoned long ago.

I actually crank up Audiogridder sometimes because it catalogues all of the VST’s quite well and makes them quickly searchable.

Love the review but they REALLY need to get the name of it right !

The more recent updates have absolutely optimized Sonar - I remember using it the first time after the update and the difference was immediately discernible. And if there is even MORE optimizations then bring it on !

All the outputs go to “none”

Agreed , odd as I deleted the Fractal ASIO driver and yet the message comes up if Sonar is running and then I power up the Fractal, eh ? I I say to add it it then reverts Soner to 48k and completely remaps all my track and bus I/O’s. However now I can have the Fractal powered up before instantiating Sonar and it’s fine whereas previously Sonar would attempt to add it. EDIT - to answer the question - yes I was hoping to exclude the message. Thx for responding, @Noel Borthwick !

FIXED (sorta) - Spent some time on the Fractal forum and this has been an issue with Fractal and Cakewalk/Sonar going back to like 2010. To be clear I’m sure it’s more an ASIO specification issue rather than a Fractal or Sonar issue. Lots of trying different things and finally settled on uninstalling the Fractal ASIO driver which to my surprise didn’t resolve the issue (perhaps the Fractal was grabbing my MOTU interface drivers ? Dunno). Finally settled on cranking up Sonar with both interfaces on and the deselecting all the Fractal drives in Sonar prefs. However I’ve done that previously but… So here is the where I am I’m cool with it. Before if I turned on the Fractal while Sonar was running Sonar would then ask to grab the Fractal which would change everything to 48k and wreak having on every track and buss input/output. Frustrating. So now I can have the Fractal powered up BEFORE starting Sonar and it’s fine which before would cause Sonar to act like I turned it on after Sonar was substantiated. I can live with it Thx to all who helped ! @msmcleod while I am comfortable delving into the Registry, I elected to go the route I did but if things get wonky I’ll try your suggestion.

@mettelus found it - thx !

I don’t see it on my iPad. I’ll try from a PC.

Gonna give this a whirl as well. http://forum.cakewalk.com/Tell-Sonar-to-ignore-audio-interface-Solved-m3309613.aspx

@mettelus how do I edit it ?

Thx @msmcleod ! I’ll try that. I should know this but how do I edit my initial header “How can exclude a midi device (Fractal AxeFx)” to a more accurate “How can I exclude a Fractal AxeFx from coming up as an audio adapter in Sonar?”
