Media Browser enhancements
jBridge support
Similar to BitBridge, jBridge allows you to use 32-bit VST effects and instruments when using the
x64 version of SONAR, as well as use 64-bit plug-ins when using the x86 version of SONAR. jBridge
can also bridge 32-bit plug-ins in the x86 version of SONAR, allowing your computer to overcome
the memory limitations of a single 32bit process.
To enable jBridge, select the Load using jBridge wrapper check box in the VST Plug-In
Properties dialog. This check box is only enabled on systems where jBridge is installed.
For information about adjusting VST settings, see the online Help topic “To set options for individual
VST plug-ins (DD2; new S8.5)” and the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager online Help.
