RE: Does not open due to plug-in scan

Which specific plug-in? Not all plug-ins are created equal, and some have been created, in the past, which do not follow the "strict rules" which the VST specification expects. Such plug-ins can cause problems to software that "demands" strict

RE: Does not open due to plug-in scan

Something is wrong with AP8 if my 10 year-old version 7 loads these plug-ins and 8 does not. Agreed, I think. But can you check whether the 32 bit version is stalling on the 64 bit VSTs, and vice versa?

RE: Acid pro 8.0 64 bit not recognizing 32 bit Vst plugins

@E39 Welcome to the Magix forums. The website for jBridge is here. Essentially, it is a utility that enables users to run 32 bit VSTs in a 64 bit app, and 64 bit VSTs in a 32 bit app! Without this "bridge", or something very similar, a 64 bit app
