Ik Multimedia TrackS 5 won't appear on AA CS6 VST Plug-in Manager

[monkeyrg]

Hey guys, I've been looking all around the internet and forums but apparently nobody has this issue, hope someone could help.

I scan for VST or VST3 plugins and AA CS6 detects all of them except for TrackS 5; although the plugin names appear while scanning when the process finishes they don't appear on the list, not even with "not working" warning.

I installed a previous version and works just fine (TrackS CS)

Also tried installing on AA 3 and had the same result.

Please someone help me!

A quick Google search led to http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tr5 where the following is listed under Features:

• 64-bit native support

There is the reason (I think).  AA CS6 and 3 are both 32 bit programs and so can only use 32 bit VSTs.  It would seem your ik Multimedia plugs in are 64 bit.

jBridge might well be your saviour! jBridge ( for Windows ) | J's stuff

I don't think that jBridge works that way around. I thought it was only for using old 32 bit VSTs in a 64 bit environment.

Actually it does!  In its latest version at least, the user can specify whether the host is 64 bit OR 32 bit and hence "convert" plug-ins 64>32 or 32>64.

I have it on my system, running AA CS6 and AA CC, and jBridge allows me to run 64 bit plug-ins in CS6 and 32 bit in CC.

Thanks Emmrecs.  Good to know. I've only ever used for converting 32 bit VSTs for use in 64 bit DAWs.
