[SOLVED] VST2 Plugins causing Sonar 31.07.0.084 to crash

[MikeyT]

Hi,

I've been using Cakewalk since about version 5, i.e. for a couple of decades now and have hundreds of project files from different bands. I am finding the following problem with Sonar 31.07.0.084:

• Files that have a VST2 plugin in them will load but the track will be muted unless the VST2 plugin is disabled. 
• If I try to load one of the VST2 plugins, Sonar locks up and never responds, so Task Manager is the only way out.

Is anyone else having this? The particular VST2 plugins that are causing me problems are LP-64 EQ and LP-64 Multiband, both of which were introduced as standard plugins early on with the original Cakewalk. I've got them everywhere, so if they are not going to work, it's going to be a bit of a headache.

Many thanks,

Mike

Are they 32 bit plugs (I don't remember ) if so it may be an issue with bit bridge, do they with jbridge maybe?

No, 64 bit plugins - well, at least they reside in C:\Program Files and not C:\Program Files (x86) - I cannot see an obvious way of confirming they are 32 bit versions

In my experience vst 64 go to the Program Files vst folder and 32 bit go to the x86  folder. So I never scan that folder. 
When I run the installers using the CCC it always asks me what version I want to install. &nbsp
I have those plug ins and they work perfectly fine for me in Sonar.

The latest version of Sonar (2025.07 build 97) should fix this issue.
