moving my set-up from XP to Windows 7

[suprematism]

Hi guys,

I am going to move my Cubase 5.5 set-up from XP to W7. Now I am somewhat concerned about Hypersonic 2 and Virtual Guitarist 2. What will be the best approach / set-up that both plug-ins will work under the new system. Do I have to do anything special (eg just install the 32 bit version of cubase5)? Will it work just fine or do I have to install additional software such as Jbridge?

Please help!

Thanx in advance, Frank.

My new system: CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-860, W7 Home Premium 32-bit / 64-bit, 2,8 Ghz, DDR3 1333 MHz, RAM: 6 GB
Cubase5.5, Hypersonic2, VirtualGuitarist2, GrooveAgent3, Halion3

I'm working up the courage to make the same leap so it'll be interesting to follow this thread. As I understand it, the main advantage of going 64 bit is that you can address more RAM. If you want to keep using your old 32 bit plugins in a 64 bit OS and a 64 bit host, I guess you'll have to bridge them with something like JBridge.

I'm assuming the 32 bit plugins will still have the 4 GB RAM limitation but that will probably not be much of a problem. In my case, the really RAM hungry plugins are Kontakt and the Spectrasonics instruments and I believe they all have 64 bit versions by now.

Hey,

If you install the 32bit version of Cubase 5, you will be able to run your actual plugins with no problem, in the windows 7 64 bit environment.

If you use the 64bit version of cubase, you will need jbridge or vst bridge or Vienna ensemble Pro to run your actual plugins.

I recommend working with the 32 bit version of Cubase in W7 64bits, you will deal with less compatibility problems (if at all).
