#Jbridge demo how to#
Instructions on how to switch the bit mode of an application under Mac OS X can be found here. On Mac OS X, Cubase 6 up to Cubase Pro 8.5 can be used as a 32- or 64-bit application. On Windows, both versions of Cubase can be installed and used separately. Still, it is a viable (and possibly the best) option to open older projects that were completed with a 32-bit version of Cubase. A quick reminder: a 32-bit application can only address 4 GB of RAM on a 64-bit Operating System. This option is only recommended, when you don't use sample libraries, orchestral templates or memory intensive VST Instruments.
#Jbridge demo install#
jBridge is an inexpensive third-party solution for bridging. I got the jbridge demo and it worked for the one thing I needed to convert, but didn’t see what the demo restrictions are time or amount of conversions or whatever. I suggest 3 solutions: - Install 32-bit version of Studio One. Usually, it will work fine with older Steinberg plug-ins, but the outcome might vary, especially with 3rd party plug-ins. Enter Bridgewize: the only bit bridging application.
This is indeed the easiest solution to manage (system-wise), but replacing several plug-ins in existing projects might be cumbersome. Ditch old 32-bit plug-ins and find native 64-bit replacements.
But in general, using 32-bit plug-ins in an 64-bit environment can be problematic and cause various problems.Īs of now, you have various options to choose from to deal with this situation: Although 64-bit operating systems and hosts are the norm for years, you might need to use older plug-ins for backward compatibility or a particular VST Instrument which has been discontinued.ģ2-bit versions of Cubase 4 to Cubase 8.5 and Nuendo 4 to Nuendo 7 came with a VST Bridge meant to make the transition to 64-bit systems easier.
