32 bit plug in bridge for DP 8

[dix]

So far this thing is working great for me. It only bridges VST but I talked to the developer and he hopes to introduce a version for AU in the near future. It is a separate app that converts or bridges selected or all VST plugins from your library to work in DP8 in 64 bit. Once it scans your VST's they will appear in your plugin menu in the Audio Plugins preference of DP 8. You then select the ones you want to use and it will scan them just like the MAS to AU scan has always worked in previous versions of DP. Pretty simple!!

And Bob's your uncle. Thanks for this little report!

Yes, something about the concept seems like it will be a kludgy mess, but maybe not. Give it a try and let us know how/what it does. I'm curios if it can bridge to uad plugins.

It works very similarly like the bridge in Logic Pro 9. It ,so far, works fine. It is a simple process!! The UAD plugins work the same way in Logic Pro. I work in a studio from time to time that uses Logic in 64 bit and the UAD plugs are used in by the same built in bridge process. Therefore, I believe that this JBridge will work for the UAD in Dp8. Try it can't hurt. There is a demo.

And Bob's again your uncle! Thanks! I'll give it shot when DP8 arrives. …in the mean time i need to install the necessary vsts, which i often have not bothered to include when i run installers.

This should also give us a chance to compare VST to AU sonically.

Is there an AU bridge? I have used Sunflower to bridge Garage Band is it easy to use to bridge AU"s? Reason has always been on a bridge and run out side of DP, will any thing be different there? Any one having luck running MX4? I went to Toontrack and saw both SD2 and EZD can run in 64 bits, I use SD2 all the time so this is good news.

I just saw DP8 has rewire in it so I would think yes on Reason.

Argh. Bob's not your uncle after all. The JbridgeM seems fine with SoundToys, but crashes with my UAD-1 plugins. Is anyone using JbridgeM with UAD-1 plugins successfully? …if so what version (of the ua plugins)? thx!

DP8/64 using jbridge 32 plugs crashes everytime when bouncing. Others experiencing this or not? any workaround?

Yes. No none fix.

VEPro 5 works great as a bridge. Forget JBridge, get VEPro 5. You won't
regret it.

Man, I wish I knew about this issue before I rushed out and bought DP8.

I'm either gonna have to go out and get VE Pro 5 or wait to see if MOTU puts a bridge in DP8.

Or work in 32 bit.

Right! Can anyone confirm this about 32b UAD?

It is great!! Except the input channel option so that you can use a plug like lexicon in 32 bit works terribly and is unusable. So I am still stuck with that issue until the 64 bit version shows up. Therefore I can only use the 32 bit verson of DP 8. How disappointing that MOTU didn't build a simple bridge in DP like Logic Pro did. And in Logic Pro the bridge works perfectly. But, I Hate Logic Pro!!!!

[Killahurts]

And in Logic Pro the bridge works perfectly...!

Wow, you're the first person I've ever heard say that. Really.
