SONAR records all the MIDI tracks that are assigned to the stand-alone synth
as a stereo audio track.
After you finish recording, mute the MIDI tracks that you just recorded so you
don’t hear them and the new audio track at the same time.
Using VST Synths and Plug-ins
You can use VST synths and plug-in effects the same way you use DXi synths and
plug-in effects. The Cakewalk VST Adapter program runs automatically when you
install SONAR, and adapts your VST plug-ins to use as DX plug-ins. Each time
you install new VST synths and/or plug-in effects, you can run the program
manually to adapt your new plug-ins.
To Register VST Plug-ins and Instruments to Use as DXi Plug-
ins
1. Use the Windows Start menu: Programs-Cakewalk-Cakewalk VST
Adapter 4-Cakewalk VST Adapter 4. This opens the VST Configuration
Wizard.
2. Follow the instructions in the Wizard, and when the VST Plug-in Search
Paths dialog appears, click the Add button to browse for the folders where you
installed your new VST plug-in(s).
3. After your folders are displayed in the VST Plug-in Search Path dialog, choose
from these options to decide how configuration will proceed:
• Re-scan failed plug-ins—choose this option if there was an error when you
originally scanned a plug-in.
• Re-scan existing plug-ins—choose this option if you’re having trouble with
an existing plug-in, or if you want to change how plug-ins are displayed in
your plug-ins menu.
• Subdivide menu—choose this option if you want to add breaks between
plug-ins in your plug-in menu, to make it easier to read.
• Don’t add VST prefix—choose this option if you don’t want the plug-ins
you’re about to scan to be labeled VST (name of plug-in) in your plug-ins
menu.
4. Click Next to have the adapter scan all the displayed folders for VST plug-ins.
The adapter finds your plug-ins and lists them in the VST Plug-in
Configuration dialog.
