Sound Forge 10 definitely can't open or use 64-bit VST plugins.

It's nothing to do with the format of your audio, but is because SF10 is a 32-bit application.

It's a 32-bit application regardless of whether it's running under a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows.

Whilst a 64-bit version would be nice for compatibility with some plugins, keep in mind that there isn't a pressing reason for an audio editor to be 64-bit: the main advantage would be increased RAM use, but that's rarely required in this kind of program (unlike, say, a virtual instrument host that needs to load many GB of samples into RAM).

Thanks.. but I do run 64bit for that very reason of using lots of RAM for my samplers, etc. I think that 64bit is becoming standard so applications should follow suit. It's as if now i cant use my plugins because i use 64bit to have more RAM available for other applications. I tell this port from 32 to 64 bit is nothing but a nightmare when it comes to installing and accessing software. I mean just make them all 64bit and we can move on.

Hello,

I agree it would be simpler if everything were 64-bit.

Which plugins are you using that are 64-bit only?

Well I installed the 32bit versions of Ozone so thats the main one. Other than that I use Sonar X1 so wanted to use those plugins but I'm happy just to get Ozone in there

I have to run both 32 and 64 bit plugins on my computer. Acid Pro & Sound Forge Pro are only 32 bit (hoping this has changed on the mac version of Sound Forge Pro - as i believe they are only making 64x systems now) So hopefully that translates into 64x in the next PC platform for these products if there is a future for PC programs with Sony Creative Software. I am assuming so as Spectra Layers went both PC and Mac. For Studio One i used 64x plugins which run smooth and work great. It would be nice to have Sony finally just up the anti and switch over to the dark side 64x.
