I have Cubase 9 on my mac now, and still having problems with bridged VSTs.Even plug-ins as basic as Battery 4…I’ve downloaded the latest version, yet it still only appears as a bridged VST. Like other VSTs it appears in the JBridge folder under instruments, works fine for a while, and then all at once it crashes Cubase and the whole computer (Mac Pro). It seems there’s a host app called auxhost2 that does the crashing, I’m not sure what that is or how to deal with it, can’t find any info on it, it must be connected to JBridge somehow. In any case, the Sentinel isn’t doing its job of isolating dubious VSTs to the blacklist, and I’ve received no response to Steinberg support in over a week, same with Native Instruments (who make Battery 4)…it seems they’re just abandoning the users upgrades that they haven’t thought through. And I know, “Firms have had long enough to upgrade to 64 bit, bla bla bla”, but that doesn’t explain why Sentinel doesn’t sort out the problem VSTs to the blacklist.
Cubase does NOT support 32bit or 32bit bridges.
64bit plugins, either VST2 or VST3 need to be installed in the right folders in order to be scanned and recognized.
