I’d like to use the excellent dblue Glitch plugin in Ardour. I’m using the old version that was released gratis by the developer, and is 32 bit. My Ardour build is 64 bit. I’m running Windows.
It seems that a 64 bit version of Ardour will not load 32 bit VSTs. Are there any known workarounds for this?
Relevant logs - note that for plugins where I have both versions installed, only the 64 bit version is recognised.
