Anyone successfully bridged Soundtoys 4.1.8-R2R on Windows 8 x64? I keep getting VST failed to load and I set auxhost, jBridge and my DAW to run as administrator. The move to 64-bit is so annoying. Not only do I now have 2 Program Files folders to deal with, I have to jump through these stupid hoops to get a plug-in to work.

 

Hi,

use the 4.1.6 version so it works!

 

The funny thing is that 4.1.8 worked on XP x86 but I wasn't bridging the plug-in.

 

bridging definitely works on windows 7, I use the same version of soundtoys like you

 

I'm really surprised we don't have a single Windows 8 64 user that bridges Soundtoys.

 

Try it on Reaper with the internal bridge...see if its the plugin, the daw or jbridge.

 

Thanks, will do. It couldn't be that the iLok license manager is on C: and the plugs are on D: right? That would be stupid.

 

Same problem on Audition CC and windows 7, I must move bridged soundtoys folder while scaning plugins, just won't work.
I don't think there is a solution, just read reaper thread http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=119915

 

I wonder how come don_questo got it up and running on 7.

Really annoying, I need my Soundtoys.

 

it might be worth trying pasting the bridged files into same folder with 32 bit dll s. I know jbridge advises against it, but I ve been doing it since I was using Live, out of necessity. I still have them in the same folder. Never had any problems

 

Well...there goes the Reaper theory!

I hope it's just a Windows 8 issue. I have just about had it with Pro Tools as my main daw. I love my Soundtoys stuff and will be in the same boat if this happens on Windows 7.

 

I'm running Decapitator 4.0.2 jBridged on W7 x64.
No problem now.

But i had strange troubles.

Read chapter 6 :

Disable UAC and DEP

 

Thanks Pipotron, I will try that.

 

I forgot to tell, it not work in Audition, but normaly work in S1, Live etc... on W7

 

I get the same error as you when trying to bridge soundtoys with jBridge and im on Windows 8.1. Im going to try to drop down to a earlier release of soundtoys and see if that works.. (I cant live without soundtoys lol)

EDIT: 4.02 works i couldn't find 4.1.6 what was mentioned above

Did you find a solution for 4.1.8?

 

Thanks for lettings us know. Pipotron offered a possible solution in this thread but I haven't tried it. I hate 4.0.2 because there are supid bugs such as the knobs not moving during automation. By the way the 4.1.6 doesn't work on higher sample rates, it was a bug that Soundtoys accidentally introduced.

 

Yea i found 4.6.1 and gave it a try.. It don't work anyway..

Tried that it didn't work for me
