Waves Plugins 32 bit ... Are they Obsolete for Sonar 64?!

I spoke with Waves Sales today ... considering some of their venerable waves bundles and plugins (40% off).
 
"You require bit-bridge(s) for our Waves plug-ins".
 
"Oh" I gulped.
 
Voxengo and Izotope plugins are 32-64 bit.

    All my Waves plugs work fine under BitBridge.  There used to be GUI problems but those have long been worked out.  I'm running Win7 64bit and Sonar 8.5.3 PE 64bit. HTH

    Thanks YorolPal,

    I'm still a bit concerned about bridging 32-bit plugins ... as I 'think' I've felt latency issues and/or CPU glitches with 32-bit ozone4 (in the past).

    The Platinum waves bundle, however, is a venerable industry standard ... I'm wrestling with it ... vs. ... say Izotope's 64-bit Nectar for vocals.

    Also, I'm wondering how well the 32-bit Wave's Reverbs can sit on send-busses ... vs. Sonar's 64-bit reverbs (if they are native 64 bit).

    I'll research a bit more on 32 bridged plugins vs. today's 64 bit standards.

    Btw, I'm glad you've overcome the Win7/64 bit upgrade.
     
    EDIT: Waves is working to get their extensive line to 64-bit, IIRC ... but no ETA seems reported.
     
    Frankly, I'm probably having best luck with Native 64-bit VST-plugins.

    The Waves plugins work fine with BitBridge.
     
    The latency you experienced with Izotope Ozone was due to it using a larger processing buffer (not related to it being 32Bit).  Many "Mastering" dynamics/EQ processors use a large processing buffer... and are thus'latent' plugins(in that they add latency).  Convolution plugins are also commonly 'latent'...

    Thanks Jim for validating objectively.

    I'll try some wave 7-day trial-downloads ... like the convolution reverbs and see how well they work ... on send busses (i.e., an ambience send and a plate send)

    If and when you get ready to buy...and I don't work for them...you should get a quote on whatever Waves bundle or plugs from www.highprofileaudio.com.  Ol Tony Belmont is usually about the lowest price around on the plugs he carries.  Check em out.

    Thanks YorolPal, I'll certainly check him 1st for the Platinum Bundle + %40 off.
