Plugins not working/seen

[doopghost]

Hi. I have Ableton Live 9 64bit. I'm having issues with a lot of plugins that are not recognized by ableton: for example these vocoders
https://tal-software.com/products/TAL-Vocoder
http://mda.smartelectronix.com/

I copied the dll files in my vst folder but even after a rescan Ableton doesn't see them. It is because they are 32 bit ? If so, there are free 64 bit vocoders out there ? I'm starting to think that installing the 64 bit could have been a mistake. I can't even use Sylenth

Thanks a lot for the help!

No you can't use a 32bit plugin in 64Bit Live unless you use something like Jbridge, I've no experience of it myself...

Ok, that's what I was afraid of. So, basically, I have three choices If I understand it correctly
A) I reinstall Ableton in 32bit: will I still be able to open the projects I created with the 64bit versions ?
B) Find a 64 bit vocoder. Any good vocoders at 64bit ?
C) This Jbridge has issues ?

TAL-Vocoder and Sylenth have 64bit versions.

Yeah if all your plugins are legit, you can get the 64bit version of most of the ones you mentioned from the vendors. Most mainstream/popular plugins were made 64bit a long time ago.

I have the old version of Sylent, unfortunately: not sure if there's a 64bit version of that: I'll look it up, thanks
I just found the 64 Tal version: got the wrong link, my bad
