32 Bit Plugins In 64 Bit

Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I've built up a reasonable collection of plugins I like to use for various things. However, they don't come up in my plugin manager, even though the directory they are installed to is definitely included in my VST paths.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Or is it simply Mixbus isn't compatible with a number of plugins? These aren't ones tied to another DAW.

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
Hi there,
This has ben a common issue and there are several things you can try. I had hoped this was no longer happening in 5, but it's been happening to me in 3 and 4, but it's an easy fix. I assume the plugins are compatible. If you are using 64bit MIxbus only 64bit plugins will work, VST3 won't work (as far as I know) etc.
The first thing you can try is to flush your cache from mixbus. Go to EDIT -- PREFERENCES -- PLUGINS -- VST and hit clear cache and clear blacklist. Then try reloading. Try this a couple of times if it doesn't work with restarts.
If that does not work you can try opening/creating a session in a different bitrate and clear cache/reload plugins. This worked well for me in v3.

  1. 32-bit DXi plugins in 64-bit Sonar - Desperate now! Basically, I'm trying to recover projects from my old laptop (which won't boot up, I've removed the hard disk and am using it with a USB enclosure). For the most part, this has been successful, but there's still a couple of plugins that I used in the old projects that won't work on my new laptop.
  2. Compatibility: Our virtual instruments are compatible with all VST and AU plugin host applications on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows and macOS. Keep in mind that macOS Catalina is NOT supported at the moment. Installation: On Windows, extract the downloaded archive to your VST plugins folder (the one which is scanned by your DAW).
  3. Yes, in most cases you can. Moreover, if you are using a 32-bit audio host application on 64-bit Windows computer the plug-ins will run just like they are running on 32-bit Windows computer. When using a 64-bit audio host application, a bridging plug-in is always necessary in order to be able to load 32-bit plug-ins.

Vst and vsti plugins. To remedy this Reaper has a VST bridge, a helper program that loads 32-bit VSTs in 64-bit Reaper. For a long time this bridge has loaded all 32-bit VSTs in a separate Window instead of inlining them in the FX window for a track. This is quite annoying, but fortunately there is now a solution. Jan 19, 2011 If you have a 64-bit operating system, the ideal situation is to run a 64-bit DAW with 64-bit plugins. I don't know how this stuff works on Mac but on Windows, the operating system has to do a lot of extra work under the hood to be able to run 32-bit apps.

Have you done a scan for plugins ?

Reminds me of old American cars. Would run all right. But needs to be started each morning a couple of times. Or an old diesel tractor when working on a farm.

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
Well that explains it. I'm using 64 bit, but I believe the ones not showing up are 32 bit.
Makes me wonder why other DAWs can use both?

Which MB do you use? Have you used these plugs in another daw and worked? Now MB is more friendly with plugs it threw on blacklist in earlier versions. Some new, though may be considered 'black' by MB.
Can you name some because if we have and works in ours it is not an MB problem.
You may ask Harrison for a 32 bit MB version then you will see what the problem is, if any.

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I'm using Mixbus 5 (not the 32c version).
The ones I've noticed I can't use are Sonitus reverb (bundled with Sonar, but not locked to it), the REplugs collection downloaded from the Cockos website and the Kjaerhaus classic series.
I'm using Mixbus v5 (not the 32c version).
The main ones which come to mind are the Sonitus Reverb (bundled with Sonar but not locked to it), the REplugs from Cockos and the Kjaerhaus Classic series.
These all work in 64 bit versions of Sonar/Cakewalk and Reaper.

Kjaerhus has 64 bit? I have sonitus pack but only 32 bit, works in MB32bit fine

No the Kjaerhaus ones are all 32 bit, which is probably why my Mixbus isn't finding them!

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I have used 32bit version of Mixbuses for years since 2.0 because did not want to lose my 32 bit plugs. No difference from 64 bit only in tall tales, not even bets can hear the difference in practice nothing you can detect. Just some months ago I changed for 64 bit MB just for fun and experiment, and lost 30 plugins but in the meantime collected the 64 bit versions of other makes to replace them. There are some I still miss. A great pro friend of mine still uses 32bit 32C. Sounds fine.
Send a mail to Harrison for 32 bit exe and you can go on with your goto plugs.
