How's jBridge working for you?
I'm thinking about getting this so I can use 32bit VST plug-ins with my 64 bit version of Ableton. How's it working out for you?

Re: How's jBridge working for you?
it just fired right up and worked for me. no issues. it even found all the plugins for me... so almost no effort either.
Re: How's jBridge working for you?
personally for me - a nightmare when you load more than 10 32vst's converted to 64 bit and add some original 64bit. crashes after crash. try trial version or something if you know what i mean:) and see for yourself how it works for you.
Re: How's jBridge working for you?
^ i never use that many plugs... 3, 4 tops... so many that is something to consider when you test it out with the demo.

Yeah I never use that many either.

Re: How's jBridge working for you?
Ive only had issues with it on one vst, circle. Im hoping I can find someone that has some good known settings for it since Ive gotten it fairly stable with some adjustments, but I still get the occaisonal crash with it, and for some reason the effects act wierd like they sound like they are in mono at times
Re: How's jBridge working for you?
jBridge sometimes gives an error with Sylenth (which is 32 bit) when I'm using Live 9 Suite (which is 64 bit). It also has a tendency to sometimes just revert Sylenth back to the initial default synth sound at any random time. It's like a crap shoot if one of those two things will happen. I can't figure out why it keeps happening, but it didn't happen when I was using Sylenth with 32 bit Live 8 32 bit. Super annoying.

Re: How's jBridge working for you?
Never had any stability issues. Only beef i have is that it runs as a different program. So, keystrokes get eaten by j-bridge and don't make it to Live. Def not optimal.

Hey all.
Been using Jbridge for a little while, and the loss of the spacebar's transport functionality was driving me mad.
As a result I made a little Max for Live patch that means you can map the same 'start/stop' functionality via MIDI to a button on a control surface.
It's a lifesaver for me, maybe it'll help out a few others

Greater than >90% of my 32-bit plug ins transitioned over. The few that didn't were not worth keeping in the first place. However, you must create a new ableton live session and open the 32 bit version to work.Punky921 wrote:I'm thinking about getting this so I can use 32bit VST plug-ins with my 64 bit version of Ableton.

Also some tips
I created a "jBridge" folder containing all my 32-bit vsts in a folder called 32-bit Original then I jbridge them to a folder called 64-bit jBridge.
My 32 Bit DAW apps still use vst in jBridge/32-bit Original and my 64-bit uses jBridge/64-bit jBridge

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! THANKS!

I have holded off of using 32 bit VSTs. I only have 64 bit VSTs on my system now.
There are still a few 32 bit commercial VSTs that haven't switched over but a good bit have now. The biggest issue is freeware VSTs where there isn't much incentive for the developer to make a 64 bit version. But overtime the number of 64 bit VST freeware plug-ins will grow and one day probably outnumber the 32 bit VST plug-ins (a lot of this depends on how long it will take to reach the limits of 64 bit computing and move to 128 bit, I think around 18 exabytes of RAM).
But for me I have just refused to buy 32 bit VST plug-ins now (or upgrade to newer versions unless they do a 64 bit version). I think that is the only way to get all of the commercial developers on board.
