Session Drummer 2

[Heb Gnawd]

Hi

Can anyone verify that session drummer 2 ( 32 bit) VST functions in the Bandlab version of Cakewalk.  Its the only VST in my entire collection that wont load.  I wanted to make sure the problem wasn't local before reinstalling an earlier version of Cakewalk that housed Session Drummer 3.

thanks

just tested it and it work fine...

Sonar 5 (all versions) and later were available as Sonar x64. Session Drummer 2 was included in Sonar 5 thru 8. Was that plug-in only available as 32-bit? Just curious, as my installs don't go back that far.

Ok thanks for confirming this can work .  It motivated me to dig deeper.   I uninstalled cakewalk for band lab ( again) and reinstalled Sonar 8  just to confirm  that there were no Windows problems and session drummer 2 worked. Somehow the installation of Sonar 8 woke up or corrected what ever was wrong and now Session Drummer 2 functions in Cakewalk by Bandlab

Thank you for your help

PS Yes I believe that  session drummer 2 is one of  3 32 bit VSTs  in the CbB package.

Here is a list of the included plug-ins with Cakewalk by BandLab: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Plug-ins.1.html

I don't see any Session Drummer included, only Studio Instruments Drum Kit.  The other plug-ins you see are probably left over from a previous install of Sonar.

CbB includes no 32bit plug-ins.

As noted in the previous post, CbB does not include Session Drummer 2.

In fact, Session Drummer 2 was not part of SONAR for some time. It was replaced by Session Drummer 3 in X1.

Session Drummer 2 that shipped with SONAR included both 32 and 64bit versions.

It was actually replaced by Session Drummer 3 in Sonar 8.5. Still some time, though!

I must be using an old version of your spreadsheet.

That would explain why the session drummer is version 2.   SO I guess Drop Zone and RXP are also residual phantoms from Sonar 8.
