Relying on unmaintained and unsupported software is not a good idea.įirst, has anyone reading this downloaded and used JBridge? Does it work with CbB and does it make additional plugins available? It was never intended to extend the life of unmaintained and unsupported plug-ins indefinitely. Some plug-ins have no remedy other than running the DAW as administrator.īridging was created to buy time for developers and ease the transition for users migrating to 64bit software. Installing in non-restricted areas of a drive avoids the drive permissions problem. Regardless of the reason, almost all plug-ins that are 32bit only are pretty old.ĭue to their age, some plug-ins fail to scan because they violate current Windows security policy.Ĭhanging permissions in the registry or drive can fix some scan issues. For example, Cakewalk Sound Center was replace by Rapture Session. The manufacturer replaced 32bit plug-ins with different products. The tools used to create them were 32bit, for example SynthEdit Most plug-ins that are still 32bit only are that way because The move to 64bit started over 15 years ago. Others are listed but can't be included when selected.Īny help or enlightenment on this issue would be appreciated. Finally, is there a way to override what the program excludes? When I look at the list of available plugins, some - like Philharmonik - are not even listed as possibilities. Could it not be setup so that ALL 32 bit synths are accepted (as all 32 bit effects are)? I know that some won't work, but if they don't then the user can exclude them instead of this choice being made by CbB in some - seemingly - mysterious and arbitrary manner.Ĥ. Maybe this one is for those doing the programming. Is that specific? They are no longer available for purchase, so you can't buy 64 bit upgrades.

Why, of all plugs that SHOULD work, are the ones that came with older versions of SONAR excluded. Does anyone know why some VST plugins are accepted and others not?Ģ. Any positive testimonies about its use?ġ. I'm confused (and a bit frustrated) as to why some 32 bit VST synths are accepted by CbB and others are excluded.įirst, has anyone reading this downloaded and used JBridge? Does it work with CbB and does it make additional plugins available? I found a post by one user, and from what he had to say about the product, it sounds like a bit of a nightmare.
