32 bit plug in bridge for DP 8

[BKK-OZ]

A question to anyone using JBridge:
Could you please put up a pic and/or video showing how JBridge works in DP and what it looks like opening and using plugins like UAD with it.
Thanks

Uhm... its $29 or something like that - my advice? If you are interested, just buy it. I demoed it, it worked for a couple of plugs I was missing since moving to 64bit, they all seem to have extra memory/processing overhead, but so far, every plug I have tried (I set up jBridge to only wrap certain plugs) has worked. I demoed it, then had to uninstall and reinstall, and for the sake of the $29, it just isn't worth the time.

I don't have the UAD cards, etc., but for the $$, it really is a bit of a no-brainer, unless you want/need PB or VE Pro for something else, if there are just a couple of plugs (with VST versions) you are missing, go for it.

Thanks for the info.
Money ain´t an issue here. I´m the first one to buy anything that gains my workflow and my studio. You all know that.. check my signature, all legal and paid for software and hardware.

I do have DP8, but haven´t dare installing it yet. I want to wait for at least the rev 1 version.
I depend on DP for a living and I have a pro studio that needs to run without any problems.. otherwise I´m out of business.
So that´s why I ask. I need to know it works. I can´t just laborate on my studio Mac Pro and test things around if they work.

So I like to see how it works and I believe others could be interested too.

Well if money isn't an issue then I suggest getting VEPro 5. Awesome
app, and works perfectly with DP8.

Must be Oz dollars. € 9.90 works out to $12.71 - or whatever your credit card company works out as the official exchange rate when the order is processed.

Even though I never did get an answer to my Q. regarding the bounce issue, I decided to give it a try and hope for the best.

There are two sets of pictures relevant to using jBridgeM and both are on the site.

First, you run the application itself to set up bridging files for your 32 bit plugins. These are put into your plugin folder and it's these you access from inside DP. Here are the pics showing the bridge file creation:

Next, when you access the bridged plugin, an extra plugin settings window appears that allows you to fine tune the way the plugin bridge works with the plugin. Here's the pic for that:

That's about it.

What did you want to know about the bounce issue?

Well, at some point you will have to test it for yourself, just like anything else, and considering the cost, just don't see what the big deal is. I understand that you aren't on DP 8 just yet, but I can't see how jBridge could hurt anything on one's system. It even comes with a nice command-line instruction for a complete uninstall.

If I had UAD plugs, I would happily try it for you, but I don't.
FWIW, I got it to work just fine with my Liquid Mix 16, which is a DSP-software combination, sort of like UAD's stuff.

Sorry, I made a mistake, jBridge is even cheaper than I remembered.

You don't have to pay for jBridgeM to test it.

>What did you want to know about the bounce issue?<

There have been a few comments saying that JBridge crashed DP during a bounce and no posts saying it had been resolved. I have also asked about it and never saw an answer.

Here's a bounce using jBridgeM on IKM CSR

Yes it crashes because of the offline bouncing DP does. If you do a Real Time bounce like Protools it will not crash. I sent the developer the crash reports I had when bouncing and he is trying to find a solution. If that happens i will post it immediately!

I did not do a real time bounce in the example above.

I just installed DP8 today and it isn't recognizing my UAD2 card. I thought the new cards were 64 bit. Hmmm.... do I need to run DP 8 in 32 bit mode?

UAD does not have 32 bit plugins (yet) even though the card itself works if you're running the actual Mac OS in 64 bit. This is not the same as running your DAW in 64 bit. DP should recognize the card if you boot it up in 32 bit mode. I don't have dp8 so am not sure how to do this but in Logic one has to get info on the app icon. In the info window there's a check box to choose 32. Maybe DP is the same
