32-bit VST effects and instruments are loaded into “servers”, and each server can address up to 4GB of RAM. BitBridge supports up to 32 independent plug-in servers, and each server can address up to 4GB of RAM, allowing access to a massive 128GB of RAM. This allows Cakewalk x64 to address all available RAM in your computer.

In the 64-bit version of Live, you can use 64-bit plug-ins natively. 32-bit plug-ins cannot be used directly in the 64-bit version, but third-party tools such asjBridge allow them to be used within the 64-bit version.

(Re-)Scan Selected VST Folder and 2. ( Re-) Scan Selected VST Folder including failed plug-ins But still no 32 bit VST plug-ins are recognized by Samplitude Steam edition. The thing is that all the Cakewalk and other 3rd party 64 bit plugins are being detected in Samplitude without any problem but NOT the 32 bit ones. If you are installing a NI legacy product, the product's installer will ask you to select a destination folder for both your 32 bit and 64 bit VST plug-ins during the installation process: No matter where you install your VST plug-ins, always make sure that this location is defined as a VST folder in your sequencer so it can load the plug-ins.

An overview of using Live with plug-ins

It is best to install and store 32-bit and 64-bit plugins in separate folders - all 32-bit plug-ins should reside in one folder, and all 64-bit plug-ins in another.
You can sort and move all plug-in dll files around even after they have been installed. However, if plug-ins support both 32-bit and 64-bit, two separate dlls get installed, and you're usually asked to choose a suitable folder for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions during the installation process.

A good solution is to create these separate folders on the top level of your system drive:

C:VST_plugins_32
C:VST_plugins_64

In this example, you would set the VST Plug-In Custom Folder to C:VST_plugins_64 in your 64-bit version of Live. The custom folder can be set in Live's File/Folder Preferences.

Finally, as jBridge requires the plug-in host to be running with administrator rights, let's enable this for Live (in this example, a Live 9 Beta is used):

Navigate to the Ableton Live 9 Beta.exe. By default, it is stored under C:ProgramDataAbletonLive 9 BetaProgram.
Right-click Ableton Live 9 Beta.exe to open the context menu and select Properties.
Show theCompatibilitytab and, underPrivilege Level, checkRun this program as an administrator.

Installing and preparing jBridge

Download and installjBridge. The jBridge tools should also be run as an administrator. Please refer to thedetailed jBridge setup descriptionfor help.

Please note that jBridge is not freeware. You will have to pay a small fee once the demo has expired.

Performing plug-in bridging

Bridging needs to be done as a specific task before the plug-ins can be used. Again, the process is also walked through in thedetailed jBridge setup description.

Run the jBridger tool.
In the first window, confirm that you'll be using an x64 (64-bit) host.
An options window will be shown. Leave most things at the default state, but
UncheckCreate bridging files for 64 bit plugins and
Choose the recommended file creation method thatcreates the necessary files inside a directoryyou specify.
Select the folder that contains the 32-bit plug-ins to be bridged - this would be C:VST_plugins_32.
Specify the directory where the necessary files will be created. Select the directory that already contains your 64-bit native plug-ins - C:VST_plugins_64.
After confirming, the jBridger will analyze all plug-ins inside C:VST_plugins_32 and create bridging files inside C:VST_plugins_64.

If you now start Live (64-bit), it will re-scan the VST plug-in folder and the bridged VST plug-ins will appear in Live's plug-in browser.

Cleaning up

After the bridging process has scanned all available 32-bit plug-ins, you'll most likely see bridged versions of VST plug-ins that arealsoavailable as native 64-bit plug-ins. Since the bridged versions are unnecessary here, follow these steps to remove them:

Navigate to the plug-in folder C:VST_plugins_64.
The bridged plug-ins appear with a .64 appendix to their name and also with an accompanying text file of the same name.
Manually delete all those .64 dll & txt files that are laying inside the folder as twins of regular 64-bit plug-ins.
