I don’t use the 32 bit version and I only had it because I accidentally installed it instead of the 64 bit, and my 64 bit version is working prefectlly so I’m not going to mess with it... you know the old saying “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. But thank you for reminding me to delete the 32 bit version to free up space. Anyway sorry to read you’re having so many problems.

Hi,

Which 32-bit plugins are you seeing? Which VST folder do you have them installed in?

You may already know this, but if you don't add the 32-bit plugins to your project, they won't do anything or use any resources.

Greg, I think there is some misunderstanding here. What is trying to be achieved is that the 64 bit version of Mixcraft only show and use 64 bit vst/vsti. Likewise the 32 bit version only show and use 32 bit. Since both versions access the same folders where the vst’s are stored (the .dll’s) we are looking for a way to eliminate this and apply a folder that only contains the vst’s we want to show in each version. I’m assuming a folder can be created and .dll’s placed in it and the folder name set in preferences which would let this happen. But I think you would then have to take the .dll’s out of the standard Mixcraft folders (or at least rename them) so they won’t be picked up. I also realize you could go into plugin manager for each Mixcraft incident and disable those plugins you don’t want to show up. :D

Hi,

Right, I was assuming that all paths had been removed from "Edit VST/VSTi Folders," and he was still picking up 32-bit plugins. If that's the case, then which 32-bit plugins are they? Which folder are they in?
