so then you have to take the name of the vst you want to bridge, and then rename the plugins so:
Sytrus VSTi.64.dll
and
Sytrus VSTi.64.exe
after that you have to recopy another set of the original plugins, rename them for the next vst, and so on, and so forth.
so ive made a batch file:
del "*.64.dll"
del "*.64.exe"
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.exe
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.dll
rename plugin_name.64.exe "Sytrus VSTi.64.exe"
rename plugin_name.64.dll "Sytrus VSTi.64.dll"
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.exe
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.dll
rename plugin_name.64.exe "BFD2.64.exe"
rename plugin_name.64.dll "BFD2.64.dll"
the first command deletes ANY of the files with .64 in the file name, which only apply to the bridged plugins. I do this in order to clear the old plugins from an old build.
then, i copy the bridge files from a neutral folder into the vst plugins folder, and then rename those files with the name of the plugin i want to bridge. After that, i repeat.
Is there a way to make this easier?
I have TONS of vst plugins.
is there a way i can just:
delete all of the .64 files (already figured that out)
and then
for EACH .dll that exists in X:/vstplugins and its subfolders, i need to get the name, while leaving the extension out, taking the name of the dll and then applying it to the bridge plugin, and then continuing the process for each file.
Is there a way to make this easier without having to put every single filename into the .bat file?
keep in mind there are subfolders involved and im pretty sure the .dll and .exe needs to be in the same folder as the original.
obviously i have to be very careful not to hose anything. I dont want to overwrite any of my plugin dlls, even tho they are muy backedupito i dont want to risk it.
Question
Jason Brian Merrill
not sure of any good resources out there for something like this.
basically, i am testing a 32bit to 64bit-bridge -
you have to take the plugin, copy it and the exe to your vst plugins ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology ) folder. It has the name:
plugin_name.64.dll
and
plugin_name.64.exe
so then you have to take the name of the vst you want to bridge, and then rename the plugins so:
Sytrus VSTi.64.dll
and
Sytrus VSTi.64.exe
after that you have to recopy another set of the original plugins, rename them for the next vst, and so on, and so forth.
so ive made a batch file:
del "*.64.dll"
del "*.64.exe"
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.exe
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.dll
rename plugin_name.64.exe "Sytrus VSTi.64.exe"
rename plugin_name.64.dll "Sytrus VSTi.64.dll"
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.exe
copy X:\VSTPlugins\64test\plugin_name.64.dll
rename plugin_name.64.exe "BFD2.64.exe"
