Some 32-bit VSTs no longer working on 64-bit Windows Reaper

Edit: never mind. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Reaper and now it's fine.

Computers are an interesting mix of science and voodoo.

Could you list those VSTs which do not work now?

Why don't you go only one step back, to v 5.979?

Edit: wasn't the VSTs.

Time to move on from 32 bit plugins. The transition to 64-bit is well over a decade long now.

This response reminds me of when people ask a Windows question and someone answers with "move to Linux!" lol.

I use a 64-bit DAW. And I use a lot of 64-bit plugins.

But some older free 32-bit VSTs have good sounds that I can't find anywhere else. And aren't done to death now since most people have moved on.

No one has answered the question though, if something was intentionally changed in Reaper.

Why do you have a pic of the Seinfeld cast as your team pic on your website?

I think I recorded on your studio's block, maybe the same building, in 1990 when I did an album with Bill Laswell there. Sure looks like it from the map.
