Metaplugin is a 'plug-in that loads other plug-ins. With Metaplugin, you can use VSTs inside of Logic Pro X and still have all of the available functionality that you have when using native Audio Units. Metaplugin is a plug-in that can host other plug-ins in this case our 64-bit VSTs that we just created using jBridgeM and want to use inside of Logic Pro X, which doesn’t support VSTs natively.

In order to use the newly created 64-bit plug-ins, we would need some sort of Audio Unit plug-in that can load other plug-ins, allowing you to use a VST plug-in inside of the Audio Unit only Logic Pro X and that is exactly what Metaplugin from DDMF can do. The only downside-which you may have picked up on by the dialog wording inside of jBridgeM-is that it only supports VSTs and not Audio Units, which Logic Pro X uses exclusively. Once jBridgeM has scanned your Mac it will give you a summary of the created files.

Logic Pro X is 64-bit only, so select I'll be using a 64bit VST host.

Select the type of VST host you will be using.

In this scenario, we want to bridge 32-bit plug-ins for use in Logic Pro X.

Select the type of plug-ins to be bridged.

JBridgeM will allow you to scan your Mac for 32-bit VSTs and create 64-bit compatible versions, and vice versa. jBridgeM will run in the background much like the 32-bit Audio Unit Bridge, allowing the bridged plug-ins to run inside of the 64-bit Logic Pro X environment. Once you install and run jBridgeM, you will have a directory created that will contain the files that are, in this case, 64-bit compatible. JBridgeM is a bridging tool that will create 64-bit compatible files for your 32-bit plug-ins, and vice versa. While Apple did not provide a workaround in Logic Pro X by including the 32-bit Audio Unit Bridge as with Logic Pro 9, there are actually third-party plug-ins that can accomplish the same thing. While there are many benefits of using a 64-bit architecture for audio production, there are still many developers who have yet to support 64-bit in their audio plug-ins.

While this was a utility Apple provided in Logic Pro 9, it was also a sign of where Logic Pro was headed 64-bit only. With all the great new features included in Logic Pro X, there is one notable feature that has been dropped in this new version the 32-bit Audio Unit Bridge for running 32-bit plug-ins when using Logic Pro in 64-bit mode.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to use 32-bit plug-ins inside of Logic Pro X using two existing utilities on the market. Logic Pro X introduces a bunch of great new features and enhancements, including a full 64-bit only architecture to take advantage of all the benefits that 64-bit brings to audio production.
