Are you still using 32-bit plugins on PC?

Safe bet that access to more memory and/or more computational power will Always catch on.....(once the price is right of course)

Stopped using them a long time ago

But then there you are at the end stating a conclusion. "And there isn't."

How else is one supposed to interpret that? You're stating there isn't a problem.

As you can see, i have removed the 'and there isnt' before you quoted it because i feared that it might be misunderstood.

It didnt mean 'and there is no problem', it meant 'and there IS no reason if there IS no problem'.

But i thought that someone might misinterpret it so i deleted it.

I have so many 32 bit plugs running that have no alternative in 64 bit.
So I will still using Cubase 8.5 in the future although I would love to have Cubase 10.
I hope that jbridge will a new versions so that it would be possible to run it with Cubase 10.
I wonder that nobody developed such a thing as jbridge.

Exactly. People knew that 64bit computing would be the future as early as 2003.

You knew squat in 2003, just like the rest of us.

You may have anticipated it, expected it, maybe even hoped for it, but to say you knew for a fact what was going to happen years later...i mean, please, be serious.

Not sure what you're talking about. Windows XP already was available in 64-bit.

[WasteLand]

there is always also a reaper 32 bits version............ i have installed the 64 bits version, because i don't use 32 bits vst's. but the 64 bits can bridge, never used it.

vst2 will also disappear someday... but still need vst2 for maschine (although that will be history, sometime this year, o reason 10, i have..).

It's basically very simple: if you use an ancient DAW, then also use ancient plugins.

You mean vintage plugins!

The only problem with this logic is that since the beginning of the industrial age, there has always been advancements. Nothing has stayed static. There are whole industries that went out of business because the technology was no longer needed. To expect that 32 bit would be forever is totally ignoring the history of advancement.

Wrong. Progress doesn't stop, and it only moves in one direction.
It was obvious 64-bit computing was the future, even in 2003.
It was just painfully slow getting there.

[spacedad]

i have tons of incredible 32bit vsts, there's been hardly any 64bit vsts that do anything i can't do already. and certainly 100s nay 1000s that may never be replaced. down with the emperor's new clothes, long live 32bit!

Oh I don't know...

I can be pretty static..
most of the time, these days...

As to 32 bit.. yup, I still use Project5 2.5, Acid7 and Soundforge 11.. all 32 bit.
I have some vintage 32 bit plugins I still use...
Although my main DAWs are Samplitude and Reaper... both do 32 bit very well...

BUT, I don't expect any further development of 32 bit and those that I have don't need support as they work.
With plugins that are both 32 and 64 bit.. I generally just install the 64 bit as the few things I still do in the 32 DAWs don't generally need the new plugins... some exceptions ofc

Well, that's my exercise for the day...
Static, here I come

[LeVzi]

I use 64bit DAW, and I want to use all 64bit VST3 plugins, but obviously some things just won't be or can't be ported to 64bit.

So I use jbridge, but rarely.

64bit wont be the norm forever but I expect it to be the norm for quite a while yet. Future internet archaeologists will dig up this thread on their 128bit and quantum computers and go "wow, these people were arguing about using 32bit in the 64bit era!"

[robotmonkey]

The best thing about it all is that when 128bit comes around we can have exactly the same discussion again.
