Welcome to the Magix forums. The website for jBridge is. 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 must have 64 bit VSTs, a 32 bit app 32 bit VSTs.

In this quick video I´ll show you how to install VST Synths into Sony Acid Pro 7. Skip navigation. VST Synth Plugin into Sony Acid Pro 7. Download, Install and use VSTs with Sony ACID.

In some case, especially for some 'older' plugs, they may exist ONLY as 32 bit or 64 bit versions, thus making them unavailable to a host program whose bit rate is different. I can heartily vouch for jBridge; I don't have Acid but do run at least one other DAW which is 64 bit only with 32 bit VSTs.

One caveat: do read carefully the information, guidance and advice on the linked website about exactly how to use the utility before you attempt to install and run it. It is not free but is well worth every penny of its low cost! Jeff Forum Moderator.

: Tue 26th Apr 2011: 7 years ago so i just installed all my programs on another labtop that i have cause i can't work on my music at home anymore due to work. I installed everything fine, but the only thing is, my Mercury Wave and Antares VST aren't showing in the browser like they do at home. I've config for ACID pro 7 to scan the folder they are located in, and the program has no problem finding them.

But when trying to add the plug-in to my project. Any clue why? I'm running vista on this labtop. The one at home is XP and it had no problems.

: Tue 26th Apr 2011: 7 years ago Mercury Waves and Antares have some kinda crazy initialization scripts (.ini) and also some pretty intensive graphical user interfaces(.gui's). I couldn't tell you how many times I have seen this (on the forums and on my own computer with other vst's.) What I recommend is COMPLETELY uninstalling everything pertaining to the VST, unless it came from Microsoft. (unlikely Mercury Waves or Antares needs anything from microsoft except maybe C++) Anyway, uninstall them. THEN get crapcleaner. Or CCleaner and then run the REGISTRY CLEANER. (it also just cleans up all your temporary files too if you want it too) After the before mentioned VST's have been completely uninstalled, and your registry has no 'registry' of your install. Turn off the computer.

Then after about 20 seconds, turn on the computer. Run through the re-installation after the computer has completely rebooted and is running stable after 20 minutes. (You may try closing your anti-virus too as you install if you are insane) If during this install, you still can't find the VST in Sony ACID (Make sure to check out 'where' the installer said it was installing and the name in sony acid's preferences matches.)? Sorry can't help much more than that as I don't use Antares or Mercury, but they are amazing!!!! : Tue 26th Apr 2011: 7 years ago maybe its, a bit problem, i had the same thing a while ago, my new vsts wernt showin so i reinstalled choosing 32-bit instead of 64, im tlkin bout operatin system not bit-depth btw, press start an right click 'computer' n click properties n u'll find out if its a 32 or 64 bit operatin system, not all vsts have the option to choose when installin, when u download a vst make sure u download the correct one, normally you'll have a few choices, like mac or win 32 or win 64 and linx sumtimes •.
