Sonar 7 to PT 7.4

[AirborneFO]

I looked around and didn't see anything that was relevant to this. So I shall ask the guru's here.

I have some VST's in Sonar 7 that I like, but am really (really) wanting to use them in PT's. Is there a way to click/drag a piece (drum track, midi) from Sonar over to Pro Tools?

I will absolutely jump circles if there is......

As always.....THANKS!

U can use midi from any platform to another... However, U say u have VST's that u want to use in PT which would only require u have the VST to Rtas wrapper by FXPANSION; But, then u say in the same sentence, u want to drag midi into PT so I think ur getting ur DAW language crossed a bit...Or maybe not so much crossed up but just be a bit more specific to get an actual answer if that makes sense to ya...

When you say drag a piece, do you mean drag the song, VIs, plug-ins, settings and all? If so no.

Well, here is what I have. I have EZDrummer, but for whatever reason, it is only showing up in my Sonar. I don't want it in Sonar. I want to use it in PT since thats where everything else is that I have. Not sure if its how it was installed or what, but when I go into PT, it doesn't show up anywhere....just in Sonar.

So am I stuck with Sonar?

If EZ drummer is NOT a RTAS plug, and you DoN'T have the Fxpansion wrapper, it will not show up in Pro Tools. the ONLY way PT recognizes VST's is via fxpansion.

[AirborneFO]

Stupid question, but does fxpansion come with PT 7.4? Or is this something additional I gotta get? LOL

(Man....the wife is gonna eventually take away my credit card!)

[sw rec]

It's $99 from fxpansion.com and worth every dime.

I'll have to pick up a copy. At this rate, I think the wife is ready to throw a "Tea Party" on me..... LOL

[audiogeekzine]

there is an RTAS version of EZdrummer btw
if you already bought that

Isn't Sonar 64 bit ready for Vista 64 and W7 64 with access to 1 terabyte of RAM? I'd make sure PT fulfills your VI/MIDI needs and performance first.

I'm a big fan of Pentagon I by the way, from back in the day when it was created and maintained by RGC Audio. A very under rated golden gem VI.
