Hi all, why plugins as Ozone 11, Fabfilter, Ssl.. are recognized as 32bit float even if they are 64bit float? In that way, as read on manual, there are in/out conversions (64fp to 32fp, 32fp to 64fp) for every 32bit plugins.
Solutions?
Thanks.
It’s up to the plugin vendor to implement this. Voxengo, for example, implement this in CurveEQ.
What do you mean? Why do you say so?
According to the WaveLab settings, WaveLab injects 32-bit float or 64-bit float samples to the plugin according to what they can support.
I don’t know about Fabfilter or SSL, but Ozone 11 is definitely not 64-bit float. This relates to what it takes in via its input and what it puts out at its output. If you want to confirm, try a test in Cubase where you are using the 64-bit audio engine, and use a plugin like (the free) Bitter right after Ozone in an insert, and you’ll see it is only putting out 32-bit floating point data. By contrast, try something like PSP VintageWarmer2, and you’ll see it is putting out 64-bit data.
There is a difference between 64-bit plugins (in terms of computer architecture and their DLLs – pretty much all modern plugins are 64-bit in this sense) and the audio I/O formats they support (i.e. 32-bit float or 64-bit float). Unfortunately, not a whole lot of the vendors whose plugins I use support 64-bit floating point I/O. Most PSP Audioware plugins do, and I think Steinberg’s plugins generally do, but the plugins from Waves, iZotope, Arturia, UAD, IK, and, really, most others I use, do not.
Thanks…I think the “solution” is that difference between plugins architecture and I/O, as said above. I didn’t know they could be different, that’s why this post. Thanks all.
and thank you for confirming that your systems also recognize those plug-ins as 32 fp and it’s not just my problem

I think you misunderstand 32-bit float and 32-bit architecture.
WaveLab only recognizes plugins with a 64-bit architecture, and these plugin use 32-bit float samples and also possibly 64-bit float samples. WaveLab recognizes both of these floating point sample formats.

This is also valid “Processing Precision”…
