Mixing ► VST configuration
SONAR automatically scans your VST folders for new plug-ins on startup, registering any unscanned VST plug-ins so that they become available in SONAR’s plug-in menus. You can turn off automatic scanning in Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings by clearing the Scan For VST Plug-ins On Startup check box.
There are two places you can configure your VST plug-ins manually: go to Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings or use the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager (Utilities > Cakewalk Plug-in Manager). You can use Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings to set general VST options, such as choosing which folders to scan, but not specific options on individual plug-ins. Use the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager to set options on individual plug-ins (use the Utilities > Cakewalk Plug-in Manager command to open the Plug-in Manager). The following procedures explain how to use the settings in Edit > Preferences > File - VST Settings. The Cakewalk Plug-in Manager has its own help.
To make sure Sonar sees newly installed plug‑ins, tick 'Scan for VST Plug‑ins On Startup'. Sonar will scan only those plug‑ins that have been added since you last opened Sonar.
- Plugin manager doesn't allow to delete old plugins from the register or somehow edit their settings, just to exclude them. Also I can't add any new VST plugins, since, apparently, scanning doesn't work (tried manual, background and on startup). Re-installation didn't help.
- Cakewalk’s BitBridge technology allows you to use 32-bit VST effects and instruments when using the x64 version of SONAR. 32-bit VST effects and instruments are loaded into “servers”, and each server can address up to 4GB of RAM.
The new folders appear in the VST Scan Folder(s) list, along with any folders that were already in the list.
When Serialize Host Access is disabled, SONAR’s audio engine runs more efficiently and allows the UI thread to interact independently with the plug-in GUI without impacting the audio engine.
The only reason to enable Serialize Host Access would be for a plug-in that has thread safety problems leading to crashes or glitches when changing plug-in presets.
