I am running both 32 bit and 64 bit Wavelab 8.5 under Windows 7. I have some plugins with both 32 and 64 bit versions installed (e.g., Sonnox). In the plug in settings, when I adjust the “Additional VST plug-ins folders” in one version the corresponding settings in the other version get erased (are blank). I know there’s a way around this. Can anyone help.
The two Wavelab versions have separate install locations. One is under C:\Program Files\Steinberg (that’s 64 bit) the other is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg.
First, I open WL8.5 (64bit) and enter “folder1 (actual path))” in the first slot of “Additional VST plug-in folders”. Then I click ok and close the program. If I immediately re-open WL8.5 (64bit), the folder1 path is there and the plug-ins are found. Closing 64bit, I open 32bit and enter “folder2 (actual path)” in slot one of “Additional VST plug-in folders”, click ok and close. If I immediately open 32bit, the folder2 path is there and plug-ins are found.
If I now open 64bit, the folder1 path has been “erased” (blank) and plug-ins are not found. If I re-enter the folder1 path, 64bit works again, but 32bit opens with folder2 path erased (blank).
I can’t put the 64bit .dlls and the 32bit .dlls in the same folder since some have the same name.
