2022-8-30 update:

Long time no visit KVR forum, Some friends email me questions for TBridge recent two years, so I think there have enthusiastic friends trust me. Maybe I should prove something to them:

1. About detected strange things.
TBridge is developed by Aardio (an IDE for desktop software develop, you can learn it in here:https://www.aardio.com/ ). If you download it, and compile a sample project to an .exe file, and then upload it to VirusTotal, you may found it detected many stange things(36/69, current version), the result like this :https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/158 ... ?nocache=1

As you can see, It's Just a sample project with a few lines of code, but reported to many things, not to mention TBridge. Despite this, Aardio is a very useful IDE, I use it for many years, I firmly believe it is safe, That's why I didn't prove it before. (BTW, if you like desktop software develop, highly recommend you to try Aardio)

TBridge is a software I developed with my heart, So I don't want to open the source code. But
I can say, every line of code is clean, I have a clear conscience.

2. About NetVST.
TBridge is based on NetVST, which is essentially an encapsulation of NetVST. I have never concealed the existence of NetVST in forums and TBridge, and I have even been emphasizing that it is based on NetVST. You can think that TBridge is a plug-in software that makes NetVST more useful. I have not make any changes to NetVST itself, I have shared TBridge with the NetVST author when TBridge developed, the author has no objection to this practice, if the author thinks it is inappropriate to do so one day, I will delete these content.

PS.
I have given the proof. I don't know if the post with the updated content will be pushed to the top, hope everyone will not have any discussions around this post in the future, keep this post quiet. After all, TBridge is just my personal tool.（I wanted to delete this post, but KVR can't delete post. ）
Thanks to those friends who trust me.
Thanks.

2020-5-31 update:
So disappointing, some people say they detected the virus, I don’t want to explain at all.you can use it if you want to use, after all, it’s originally made for my personal use. I ’m struggling to make a bilingual version for other enthusiasts. If you don’t believe it, just leave it here, the "tracktion forum" didn't occur the same thing.
No need you guys who suspect the virus and remind everyone, I say here: TBridge was detected the virus by some anti-virus software,If you trust it, just use, if you don't believe it, leave here. thanks.

P.S. I'd not to make an English-version of free software anymore, maybe, At least I won’t post to foreign forums, this emotion is more exhausting than developing software.

Hello everyone!

I'm 番茄西西西红柿(you can also call me totomato, haha), recently, I developed a VST bridge based on NetVST(http://netvst.org/), and named it TBridge,you can easily run 32-bit or 64-bit VST in a 64-bit DAW by TBridge.

If you have ever looked for a free VST bridge alternative JBridge, you may not found it, except NetVST. NetVST is very great, but it seems not very practical when you need run many plugin same time, and I see the developer of NetVST in blog, say it's hard to improve NetVST in some reason. So I want improve it.

And now, I have release TBridge, It's free. I want to achieve a fully free music maker enviroment for every music enthusiast, with many free software like tracktion,waveform free, balabala.

You can download TBridge and learn more here:

Ok，hoping you like my TBridge, haha!

After setting the language to English, the software continually aborts (with the following error dialog) when I try to start it up:

I will attach the .ini files to assist the developer with the troubleshooting.

I am running the TBridge software on Windows 10 Pro x64 v1909.

Thank you for letting me know about the newer version.

The issue continued to happen even with the newer 1.0.0.3 version of TBridge.exe. However, the issue went away after I unzipped the distribution again and then chose this time to overwrite the .ini files as well. Previously, I had only overwritten the .exe file.

By the way, I noticed that the About box for version 1.0.0.3 still shows version 1.0.0.2:

Yes，because the ini file encoding is ANSI before, but in EN-windows, it's not work properly, So need to change it to UNICODE...the new version change the ini-encoding.

As for "About", I just forgot to modify it, hahaha ~ you can right click the TBridge.exe to view properties, there will be 1.0.0.3 , it's the real version.

Thank you for your reminder~ I'll update it later.

（BTW, you can just go to language.ini,find [English]-> "关于", to change 1.0.0.2 to 1.0.0.3, and the English "About" will be changed, But Chinese text is embedded in the software, So can't be changed in language.ini ）

I experienced the following error when I immediately tried to open a TBridge project that I had just previously saved and closed:

My TBridge project contained two 32-bit VST plugins: Xhun Audio IronAxe and AAS Player.

Thanks for feedback, it's also a ini-encoding question....emmm

Here is a temp way to fix it, just right click your .tbproj, edit by notepad.exe, and save ansi as unicode...it'll be ok. the .tbproj is a ini-file indeed~

I'll fix the question later ~~ thank you again~

I can confirm that TBridge 1.0.0.5 resolves the issues I reported previously. I will test TBridge more deeply when I have some free time again.

Cheers.

Still working out TBridge... so far, so good. I want to test it out in Studio One; that DAW is notorious for preventing bridge plugins from working well.

I did notice a couple of button labels did not get replaced with their localized replacements, specifically in the dialog boxes that pop up for "Rename plugin" and "Rename network":

If I come across anything else, I will continue to post my findings here.

Thanks for your new feedback~ because some dialog box are provided by programing language,it's may call the system api, so will auto-locallized.just like "About" dialog, which "确定" auto changed to show "OK", I don't set a CN-En translate file. I used to think that all dialogs are pop up by system API, so I don't set the button name-locallize.
With your remind , I see that "Rename plugin" and "Rename network" 's InputBox are not direct call the API, it has extended by programming language, which the button name changed to chinese, instead of system API auto-locallized. If you find other button not localized, could you remind me again~ I'll update a new version later, thanks again~
