It doesn't look so elegant? If you judge based on a picture, than consider trying it before you give an opinion, its free :).
You can now Validate your plugs with a small tool included in the package ;).

If you can choose between:
- Sylenth1 + Bidule to handle the plug-in and plug-in settings, manually assigning automations to parameters. (More work)
- Sylenth1, directly from Logic with automations working. (Less work)

Definitely worth a try :)

32 Lives was a bit too unstable when i've got it.
they have made 4 updates in 1 week now is much more stable and it works with almost every plug-in i have.
Some of them i had to validate manually on the Logic's Audio Units Manager because the valitation at logic boot was not successfull.
unfortunately it still doesn't works with virtual instruments created with Soundquest Midiquest, for those plug-in i have to use bidule+jbridgem.

I found the JbridgeM icon really ugly, so I made one that looks like the Logic 9 AU Bridge except with the Logic X icon.

32 Lives looks interesting. I don't know if it's $69 interesting though.

Hi

Have a look at this wrapper ... 32Lives http://www.soundradix.com/products/32-lives
I've used it to get my Liquidmix working again on Logic X and it makes a host of other 32 bit plugins work on LogicX too.

Yes! it works for me too in Logic 9. I couldn't give up my trusty VB3. No fussing around with the 32bit bridge window.
Now that it works im gonna go up to X

Worth noting that the program very simply 'converts' your 32 bit plugs to 64bit outside of logic. When you open logic the plugs appear as normal like any other plugin. magic :)

I´d like to highly recommend this wrapper! It´s working much more smoother than the original AU Bridge of LP9!

I just downloaded the trial version of http://www.soundradix.com/products/32-lives today and I'm impressed, seems great. I've tried the jbridge set up with Metaplugin as well, but so far 32 lives seems a much cleaner solution.

It's nice they decided to have a trial version available. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: I see that's because it's out of beta...their intro discount price is gone too. 99 bucks now.

Yeah I wish I'd seen it when it was in beta and going for $69. However once I used the trial version I soon decided what the hell and bought it, took all of about half an hour of testing ;) I can now use all my 32 bit plug ins easily and it seems hassle free so far. The best thing is all my projects from Logic 9 with 32 bit plug ins open seamlessly in Logic X. I have tons of ideas in progress from Logic 9 and being able to open them up in Logic X without having to change any plug ins makes it worth the price alone. Everything seems to just work now, which is always nice! 8)

I bought 32lives and I use it every day. Sometimes I have graphic issues and I have to close/reopen the plugin gui. But it's pretty stable.

I see they're charging 99 dollars for 32 lives.

They also have a special offer of 159 dollars for sylenth + 32 lives whereas sylenth on it's own is more than that.

I find it a little fishy...

Hi All,

Was reading through this thread, and downloaded the trial of 32 lives. It downloads and installs alright, but when I go to logic x there is no validation and it doesn't show in the audio units manager. Anyone have any ideas, or could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I opened 32 lives as a standalone, and resurrected the plugins I want to use. But they dont show in the AU validator
Also tried logging out and back in from my user account.

I'm sure it's something simple -- did you close and relaunch Logic - or at least try re-scanning the AU plug-ins from Logic's AU Manager?

32 Lives itself doesn't show up as a plug-in. You were correct the second time -- open it as a standalone, resurrect the plug-ins THEN start Logic and Logic should scan all the newly resurrected plugs and then they will show up as plug-ins in Logic in the expected drop down menus.

But in ANY case, if you can't solve it -- I'd advise contacting Sound Radix support -- they have been SUPER with me. I'm sure they'll sort you.
