The audio interface used is a FireWire T.C.Electonic Studio Konnekt 48. This review was made with a commercial version of Sonar X3 Producer (version X3b) on a desktop PC (i7 3770, 8GB RAM), running Win7 64 bits and Sonar (64 bits) on a SSD. They simply got axed, which creates some compatibility problems with old projects. So, let’s go into the heart of the matter and start with the casualties, the disappearance of certain plug-ins, two in particular: the R-Mix multieffects processor and the V-Vocal corrector, both by Roland. That was expected, as a consequence of the divorce. The result of the scan was that several plug-ins used in the old project (created with X2) were no longer present. This pop-up informs us that the software is scanning (in the background) for plug-ins on the computer, which is a good idea that spares us from having to sit in front of the screen waiting for the inventory to be taken. The Skylight interface seems identical to previous “X” versions, and only a pop-up window on the lower right corner of the screen invites us to think that there’s something new down there. At first look, nothing seems to have changed. The archives are available for the years 2003-2017, and the years are linked on the right side of that press release page.Once done with such formalities, it’s time to open an old project created with Sonar X2. For an example see this page for a description of what the Sonar 8.5 Studio lacks as far as the Producer exclusives: You can research the Cakewalk edition releases in the press release archives, where the edition differences are often discussed. It is not intended to take into account the plugins supplied with lighter editions of the DAW, or the 32-bit variety. The spreadsheet referenced in this thread assumes the baseline of 64-bit plugins supplied with the Producer or Platinum versions of Sonar only.
That is an interesting thought for those that had lighter versions of Sonar most recently, and a bit of incentive to at least give CbB a try if they had an old Producer edition lying around. CbB should load anything that was installed with 64bit version of SONAR because it appears to plug-ins as current top-of-the line version of SONAR.
