No wrapper needed with Mixcraft, because 64-bit Mixcraft automatically loads 32-bit plugins!

The issue is that it takes a bit of extra CPU processing to run 32-bit plugins in 64-bit software, so people who have slower computers might be better off running 32-bit Mixcraft, or running 64-bit Mixcraft with only 64-bit plugins.

Hmmm. Interesting and thanks. The other instance of this idea that I'm accustomed to using in another daw uses a wrapper but it's automatic and internal. IOW it just comes with the daw. Everything happens "under the hood" so that the user is mostly unaware there is a wrapper, in this case Bitbridge works behind the scenes.

I had guessed Mixcraft is similar to this. Impressive if MC has internal code written in for it!
