4. If the plug-in is a DirectX effect or an MFX, write down (or select and copy) the CLSID value

that’s in the CLSID field at the bottom of the dialog.

If VST or VSTi, write down the VST ID value that’s in the VST ID field at the bottom of the dialog.

5. Close the Plug-in Manager dialog.

6. Open the Xrayexclude.ini file that’s in your SONAR program folder (use Notepad).

7. At the end of the file, find the [EffectProps View] section.

You will see entries such as the following:

; Waves SSL EQ Stereo

XRayExclude11=1397510483

XRayExclude12={E451379E-F7E1-4E82-98D9-BEB87AC45E90}

8. Exclude your plug-in by creating a blank line below the last entry in the [EffectProps View]

section, and then typing:

;[name of your plug-in, but without brackets]

XRayExclude[type the next available number in XRayExclude list, but without brackets]=[VST ID

number, with no brackets, or CLSID number, with curly brackets at start and finish]

For example, if the last entry in the [EffectProps View] section was:

; Waves SSL EQ Stereo

XRayExclude11=1397510483

XRayExclude12={E451379E-F7E1-4E82-98D9-BEB87AC45E90}

If you want to exclude the Cakewalk FxDelay from the X-Ray Windows feature, after creating a

blank line, type:

; Cakewalk FxDelay

XRayExclude13={985DAF67-589F-4B8D-8BBC-D7AD651B9022}

If there was also a VST version of the Cakewalk FxDelay, you would add another line:

XRayExclude14=[some VST ID number, with no brackets]

9. Save and close the Xrayexclude.ini file, and restart SONAR to implement your changes.
