Cakewalk Sonar is ARA2 capable, right? Demo of promising plugin says no :/

[Ken Kasriel]

 

I came across this new polyphonic audio to midi vst, Prism. Demo video is way impressive. https://aurallysound.com/pages/prism-audio-to-midi

The product page says ARA2 is needed, and that  "Prism is known to work with Reaper, Studio One, Cubase/Nuendo, Logic Pro (under Rosetta), and Cakewalk Sonar." 

I just installed the latest version of Sonar,. It finds Prism in the list, but when I load it I get a Prism eror message, "ARA host isn't detected." I've written to Prism's dev. Meanwhile, any ideas?

According Sonar’s local Help, Sonar “is compatible with ARA 2 plug-ins”.

See Sonar’s local help > search for ARA under the “Search tab”  (Web help does not mention ARA2, local help does)

As well as writing to Prism's developers you might also want to drop a note to Sonar support.

Which list do you see it in?  ARAs are normally in the RegionFX menu and a clip's right-click menu.

Some alleged ARA 2 compliant plugins simply won't work with all hosts. iZotope RX 11 Spectral Editor is a good example. For instance, according to iZotope, "RX 11 ARA support is available for Apple Logic Pro in Rosetta mode, PreSonus Studio One, and Avid Pro Tools."  But Cakewalk isn't mentioned, and neither is Cubase, although they both support ARA 2 since at least five years or so. 

IDK, maybe the ARA 2 standard isn't strict enough.
