at this time, not an official release yet… just a RC
Bernard,
I have not the time to read through all the posts here but I can say:
100% the same here. The plugins you mentioned are my go to plugins - there is no Mix without VSS3, Megaverb and Classicveb, there are no alternatives for me, and I have to say that I own all the Lexicon stuff, most of the UAD stuff (Lex 224, Plate) as well as I recently added the relab 480L.
Powercore is NOT a dead horse. Ok, it is dead - and it is a pain, but still I am riding it all the time because those M6000 algos are without alternative for me.
In latest Nuendo I had big problems with the internal bitbridge, before I was using TC via internal bitbridge - I now use jBridge and it runs PERFEKT. I am in an old 32bit UAD version as well - all jBridged. Do NOT use the Steinberg bitbridge. It will give you all kinds of troubles… Prijects stuck while loading (you will be not able to re-open them) etc.
I do usually big projects. Audio. 400 tracks… Then some Orchestral Stuff cames in in final mixing stage… 4GB ram or more, often… I still use 32bit Nuendo…
But I am most of the time using N5.5.6 64 bit.
Regarding N6 - I only installed the 64bit version.
And all the other plugins are usually 64bit now. I am spending cash only to Waves, Plugin Alliance and some others recently - lets name Slate Plugins as well… those are not 100% 64bit but usually I am able to use them in 64 bit projects without problems.
Go 64 bit, use jBridge!!
If you have questions - ask me directly if you want.

That was the case here as well for about 2 years… but all of a sudden (went from 5.5.4 to 5.5.6) I was not able to open current projects anymore. The vstbrigde hung up during loading - shutting it down in the taskmanager made Nuendo to continue loading the projects but of course without all 32bit stuff…
Just did a short jBridge action and went on. All settings and stuff were there. Exept presets, unfortunatelly.
Oh this is an old topic… sorry Bernard… Tell me - have you upgraded?
Hi Christoph,
Nice to hear you again 
Not upgraded yet… I still have to build my new system (have all the parts since months) but have to find some additional time for that… or I fear to upgrade or to jump to 64 bit… Bernard you’re getting old now… 
Thanks for your comment.
Most probably, I’ll go for Nuendo 64bit running jBridge for 32bit plugins (ie: Powercore) - I still don’t know how it works, how to install nor how to configure jBridge but I’ll give a try.
Cheers,
Bernard
It is quite easy! In the beginning of last year I had to go 64 big during Session - cause I maxed out 32 bit…
Those days Waves were still 32bit.
It was easy in the end, but I was at your point at well. I feared it!
I have to say that with current software versions even “regular” projects can increase to a RAM usuage were I have to go 64bit…
If you need any help just give me a call. Message me first though I barely answer the phone here.
Regarding the dead horse called Powercore… After I had troubles for years (2003, 2004) with the Firewire version - spending WEEKS to get it working without bluescreens and sync errors I am quite happy finally with it. A SHAME that TC dropped it - WHY? Of course the stock plugins are crap. More or less. But those M6000 algos… mmmmhhh.
I have to say that I purchased a used PoCo x8 via ebay some time ago - just to be sure that I will be able to use the stuff in the future… Hopefully there will be a way to run it on future systems…
yea - bridging 64bit instruments for running them into 32bit host is a good alternative as well. Though I have the feeling/hope that 64bit is the future… so I better find out workarounds for all those 32bit goody-plugins… And there are a lot, indeed!
Now that is said good 
Too bad that todays work (N7… UI stuff…) is full of survival strategies… On my system are currently:
N5.5 32bit (regular work)
N5.5 64bit (regular work when I need it)
N6 64bit (some experiments, some experimental work)
C6.5 32/64bit (I used a lot before N5.5 was there)
C5.5 (I used a lot between N4 and a stable C6/N5)
Isn’t it strange?
same here… I mainly have and use Nuendo because in the year 2000 Nuendo was something completely new - far inferior to Cubase VST… And it “sounds” “more professional” when you can say that you do your stuff in “Nuendo” instead of “Cubase” - usually everyone is using Cubase at home as well… you know… Lately I prefered the Nuendo GUI (regarding the project window) far above Cubase.
Well, Bernard - sorry for going slightly OT in your thread…
