Hi Bryan. All appears to be OK now. I did a scan of all my hard drives, so one of the installs must've gone somewhere I wasn't aware. I'll be glad to get my production system back.

Did you go with recommended? If so, then those plugs would have been installed in the standard locations. Also, Sonar scanns for plugs when you start it for the first time, so it should have found them. If you don't have a Sonar 8.5 install DVD, then the process is a bit more frustrating. You have to install 8, then upgrade to 8.5, then upgrade to 8.52, and, finally, upgrade to 8.53. I've never run that complete journey. I have an 8.5 disk. Maybe some problems along that long path.

This installation, along with the sound card issue has proven to be more problematic than it's worth. I've isntalled All of the Sonar content from Sonar 8 and done all of the upgrades up to 8.53. However, there are a lot of plugs missing. For example, I can see session Drummer 2, but not Session Drummer 3. The Vocal and Percussion strip are not there, plus a fair few other items. Should I scan my entire system for the plugs in case they've been misaddressed? Cheers Darren PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
