With more and more hosts going 64 bit only, a universal, cross-platform bit bridging tool is an essential part of the toolbox of every audio engineer who doesn’t want to lose all those precious (and often legendary) 32 bit plugins still waiting to be used. Enter Bridgewize: the only bit bridging application that covers both VST and AU plugins on Mac and VST plugins on Windows. It uses the same proprietary wrapping technique that has already been successfully introduced with Metaplugin3, but now in a dedicated standalone package that allows you to selectively create seamlessly bridged versions of your favourite 32 bit babies.
Bridgewize is a universal, cross-platform bit-bridging solution. It can bridge both VST plugins and Audio Units on Mac and VST plugins on Windows. The app is based on the bridging technique introduced with Metaplugin v3 last year, and should come useful for those users who don't need all the overhead of Metapluging when they 'only' want to resurrect their old 32-bit plugins in the ever. Please don't watch on a mobile device. There's a little mistake in the video. I added comments in the video you can't see in the mobile version of youtub.
Features:
- Plugin organizer to display all 32 bit candidates for easy and intuitive wrapping and unwrapping
- Zero-latency audio transfer between the 64 bit DAW and the dedicated 32 bit bridging app
- Plugin UI appearing seamlessly in the host’s window
- Negligible additional CPU usage
- Compatible with VST 2.4 plugins, OSX 10.7 and higher or Windows Vista and higher (untested on Windows XP)
- NO LONGER COMPATIBLE with Mac OSX 10.15 (Catalina) and higher!
Download 32 Bit Or 64 Bit
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS: a small number of virus scanners is falsely flagging BridgeApp.exe, an app which needs to be running in the background for Bridgewize to function, as a virus. There is absolutely no trace of a virus in that program! You can safely turn off any restrictions your virus scanner might suggest for that executable.

Run 64 Bit Programs On 32 Bit
Hello,
Try to remove all of the VST Directories while installing the program. You can remove the VST directories from within the installer. After you run SoundBridge for the first time, you will be able to add proper VST directories from Preferences.
Hi…soundBridge with the internet and then bring it outdoors if you’d like.However, if you close the program you’ll have to use a HotSpot to re-activate it.Yes, we know some people find this annoying and we’re working hard to find an offline solution.
If you check the “Remember Me” checkbox when logging in it should allow usage and ask for the internet activation only after one month.
