Are you using http://jstuff.wordp… jbridge[/]="http://jstuff.wordp… jbridge[/] and if so, why? Do I need to be using it with my i7 win7 64bit?

jBridge is an application designed for bridging VST plugins (up to the 2.4 VST specification).
Using inter-process communication mechanisms, it aims to make it possible to run 32bit plugins in 64bit hosts, 64bit plugins in 32bit hosts, or even bridging 32bit plugins to 32bit hosts, allowing to overcome the memory limitations of a single 32bit process, in this last case.

If you still have older 32bit VST plugins that are no longer compatible or will load correctly in your 64bit DAW then jbridge will allow you to use those older 32bit VST's laying around...if you use all new 64bit VST plugins then you wouldn't need it.
FWIW Cubase has it's own internal bridge program for older 32bit plugins called "VSTbridge" which does the same thing.
You can also use jbridge the other way around which is using 64bit plugins with a 32bit OS or DAW.
Be aware...not all plugins in the world will "bridge" properly on a given system so it's a good idea to check compatibility before buying...

I'm not familiar with what Emulator X3 is exactly, but if it no longer works in your 64bit DAW of choice, you can definitely try out jbridge and it might bring it back to life!

It's been our experience that Jbridge works with about 95% of the plug-ins out there, including a lot that don't work with Cubase's VSTbridge. The one's we've had the most problems with have been the Wave's stuff because they operate in the Wave shell. We use a program called vst2shell for those guys and it seems to work pretty well.

Its the gain reduction meter from my FL4TT3RY compressor: [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.platinum…"]platinumears.com - FL4TT3RY2[/]="http://www.platinum…"]platinumears.com - FL4TT3RY2[/]
