Aewon Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hello reader, First time poster. I have used Sonar X1 for many years and decided to upgrade plugins. I downloaded a trial UAD plugin and have the folder in the VSTplugins folder where my other plugins are. Despite this and updating VST folder in settings, i cant see the UAD plugin anywhere. Is Sonar X1 compatible with UAD? I remember many years ago I upgraded some native plugins and can see them and use them in X1. Maybe I am missing something? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Two things to bear in mind: 1. Sonar X1 pre-dates the VST3 format. 2. A few years ago, Steinberg revoked the license for releasing new VST2 plugins - essentially forcing vendors to release VST3 only versions (unless a VST2 version of the plugin was already released before the license revocation). So if this plugin is a VST3 only plugin, it won't appear in Sonar X1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aewon Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Quote Interesting MCleod. Thank you for taking the time to reply. That is a shame. So i need to look for vst2 only plugins? Can you point me in the right direction or is only vst3 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is VST3 only though, there's nothing that will make it work in Sonar X1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aewon Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I can't see where it states vst2 or vst3 on the plugin uad website. I downloaded the la2a and the manley voxbox. Do they have any vst2 plugins still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aewon Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Maybe i should download cakewalk by bandlab for vst3, over X1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aewon Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 ive installed cakewalk by bandlab now and the plugins i downloaded are there, working. Thank you for this insight Mcleod. A blessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
