anyone here know a better bridge the jBridge?

Im sorry but that nag screen he gots going on is killing me..

Its such a eye sore and hindrance and makes me want to delete all the bridge plugins and not use them but they costed money so that would suck…

Someone needs to create at least one other option for a mac machine.

 

Are you using the demo version? And if so, is the nag screen not just a demo limitation? And if so (and you think jbridge does all you want apart from the nag screen), why not pay the €9.90 for the full version?

To be honest, I've never used it and never really needed to, but it's been around a while, has been developed and supported a lot in that time, and I can't see another third party alternative being as good right now on he whole. REAPER's bit-bridge is pretty good and generally pretty stable, but that, too, has some GUI-related annoyances. But it does the job.

 

the nag screen happens with the full version. to be honest, i regret purchasing it as the nag screen just keeps popping up.

no I bought it I see there is a way to auto close the VSTs GUI but it seems like the design could be revised since every one is buying it and by that I mean its basically the only one out there, although I thought I heard windows has an alternative, ..

he should look into it I asked him a couple times already..

it kind of reminds me of some old windows 2000 program.

 

me too but i find if you hide the jBridge window behind the VST GUI you can always keep VST GUI on top and auto close the VST GUI when jBridge is closed out just click on the jBridge's red X instead of the VST's.. so that way its a little more tolerable …

 

That is awful. Although certainly a "first world problem", that's just not on. The jBridge developer should definitely remove the nag screen when you've bought the full version.

Unfortunately, my last statement still stands though. Despite its shortcomings, I think it's currently the best available. And I think the Windows alternative is called jBridge.

 

i get the feeling it works much better in the Windows environment, unfortunately, i use a Mac.

i bought it to use Sylenth with Maschine 2 and it is unusable, because every time i try to map a knob, the nag screen comes up - i also get freezes.

I guess when your the only game in town then why cater ..

 

i see there is an update - which i hope to get soon, so maybe some of my issues have been fixed.

okay the 0.82 Mac update seems a lot better, and i was able to do some of my own mappings. i still got the popup, but was able to tick the option to keep the plugin GUI on top - and that meant i could do my own mappings.

so if you use a Mac, i suggest you download the latest version.

Well, the Windows version is bound to be better anyway. Macs have had their day.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!


(No, I'm not really trying to start that game. But seriously, the Windows version came first, didn't it? And so has had much longer to be developed, so it stands to reason would be better. Porting between Windows and Mac is not that straightforward.)

 

Sorry to bump this age-old thread but for Mac http://www.soundradix.com/products/32-lives is really good and worth it if you have many 32bit plugins (AU only).

Works out of the box:

• Finds AU's from ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder on app launch
• Only need to run it one time

And best of all, it doesn't come with any extra nag screens or windows and works perfectly as far as my tests go

 

Jbridge is the only bridge for windows and l can say that when it has its faults with that bridge it causes a lot of faults its really something NI should put in as a default function into maschine is to be able to add 32bit and 64bit to 64bit host if that's the users choice. Using extra plugins with maschine is an important part to a lot of peoples choice in the product and for the price of NI VST's in general and also the library NI has, not everyone wants to use the default plugins as certain genres can really get a lift from other VST's.
