  1. No problem raymond, Just trying to help point out the cause of the problem. I've been down this road before and after finding this thread any many others like it I realized, others had been down it before and many more new people just starting to go down the same path. It's very frustrating and a bit confusing not knowing what is causing the issue at first, but after trying literally everything I could think of it was determined that the VST plug-in for OSX is just simply not 64-bit. As the Line6 website now states. That being said it's 2015, soon to be 2016 and Line6 still does not support 64-bit in the POD Farm VST plug-in for OSX. I'm actually starting to wonder if it will ever happen at this point. PODFarm came out a while ago and it isn't exactly a "NEW" product anymore for Line6 developers to be focusing on.
  2. Try This while Cubase is open running the POD Farm plugin. On your Mac if you go to your Applications folder, then the Utilities folder, open up Activity Monitor. Go to the CPU tab near the bottom. Now if you scroll down you will see an app running called "VSTBridgeApp" if you look to the right most column you will see that it's NOT running in 64-bit like Cubase is. The main disadvantage to using a 32-bit Bridge is that it requires more CPU resources to run both the bridge emulator and the 32-bit plug-in than it would to just run a native 64-bit plug-in. Not an issue for some users I'm sure, but with big projects and sessions with large track counts this can become a problem.
  3. Yes Cubase does recognize POD Farm using this technique, but it's using a 32bit bridge to run the plug-in. So the POD Farm VST will still not run natively 64-bit, which uses more CPU resources when using a 32-bit Bridge. While in Cubase open the "about" section of the POD Farm VST plug-in by clicking on the Line6 logo. If it says x64 after the version number then you will know it's running in native 64-bit. Otherwise it's still 32-bit, the Standalone and The AU plugin can run in 64-bit, just not the VST.
  4. Thank you for confirming my prediction, Even on the latest version Cubase 8.5 the VST plug-in will not launch or even be recognized while in 64-bit mode. Just as I presumed, again that's because the problem doesn't lie within Cubase, any version of it, or any other VST host for that matter. The problem lies within Line6's 64-bit support for VST plugins on Mac OSX.
  5. I highly doubt you were ever running POD Farm in 64-bit with Cubase on the Mac, even version 7.5. Trust me I have a Licence to Cubase 6 & 7 full versions, it has never worked! Check again, the POD Farm installer for OSX even tells you there's no 64-bit support for the VST plugin if you read it. Line6 doesn't support 64-bit VST plugins on OSX, only the AU are 64-bit, read the installer it's right there in black and white before you install POD Farm. Yes you're right it is a $300 plugin and yet Line6 does not support 64-bit VST plug-ins on OSX. Who knows if they ever will?...
  6. It is 64-bit on OSX, just not the VST plug-in for OSX, the POD Farm installer says to use the AU if you read under "64-bit Support". But yes the question remains when will the VST plug-in for OSX get 64-bit support?
  7. Sorry but are you sure that's the VST and not the AU, Ableton Live can run both VST & AU plug-ins, I can run the 64-bit AU too. And Cockos Reaper has a 32-bit Bridge which would also allow POD Farm to open, I can also do this too. But you say that you've indeed used Cubase 6 to run Pod Farm in 64-bit. I'm just curious as to how you possibly managed to do that because Line6 states that Pod Farm does not support 64-bit in Cubase on OSX. Look at the system requirements on the Line6 website itself: http://line6.com/store/item/188 scroll near the bottom of the page and read the notes at the end. It says the same thing for all versions of POD Farm including Platinum: 32-bit for Cubase for OSX You can continue to mislead people here but there is no real argument. It's right there in black & white from Line6 themselves.
  8. So it turns out that Line6 does not support 64-bit in Cubase for OSX. If you look at the Line6 website it states that it's 32-bit only in Cubase for OSX, it says so right in the notes at the bottom of their POD Farm web page; http://line6.com/store/item/188
  9. So it turns out that Line6 does not support 64-bit in Cubase for OSX. If you look at the Line6 website it states that it's 32-bit only in Cubase for OSX, it says so right in the notes at the bottom of their POD Farm web page; http://line6.com/store/item/188
  10. If you have used that many DAWs then show me a single screenshot of the POD Farm VST launched in 64-bit displaying the "about" window.
  11. ZAP You are truly mistaken! first of all Logic Pro 9 does support 32-bits you just have to right click on the app icon in your applications folder to enable 32-bit mode by going to "Get Info" then checking off the box "Open in 32-bit mode". Second If you read my entire post you would know that I can also open AU plug-in using Logic in 64-bit mode, but then again if you read my entire post you'd realize I'm talking about the VST plug-in not the AU. It's not what I think, It's what I KNOW, and I'm clearly not the only one experienceing this. Look at the other threads I linked above from this forum. There are also other online forums discussing the exact same issue, Believe me it's not resolved, The VST plug-in is 32-bit only and anyone else that tries will confirm this. I guarentee it! again it's not what I think, It's what I know. As I said before the standalone application, and the AU plug-in work fine in 64-bit, but the VST plug-in does not work in 64-bit only 32. I've tried this with multiple VST hosts, it does not work in 64-bit.
  12. This problem has yet to be solved. I can cofirm that the POD Farm 2.5 VST plug-in does not run is 64-bit mode. I have run across this issue on many different online forums now. On Mac OSX both the 32 & 64 bit versions are written into the same plug-in unlike Windows which uses two separate versions. I spoke with Line6 tech support online and I was told "It's a problem with Cubase not recognizing the 64-bit Universal Binary in the VST plug-in." This is simply not true. I have tried this with Cubase 6 and Cubase 7 as well as other VST hosts. Cubase has no problems opening any of my other 64-bit VST plug-ins from other third party developers. Steinberg is the company that created VST technology so I'm sure they know to open a 64-bit Universal Binary. I havent tried this on Cubase 8 yet but I assume nothing has changed as the problem lies within the POD Farm 2.5 VST being 32-bit only, not with Cubase. The 64-bit VST plug-in won't open even if you're running the latest updates on all software (POD Farm, Cubase, OSX) or any version for that matter, that's becasue the POD Farm VST just isn't 64-bit. This is strange because the standalone appplication runs in 64-bit no problem, and Logic recognizes and lauches the AU plug-in in 64-bit mode just fine. The problem is the POD Farm 2.5 VST, it's simply 32-bit only. I have tried everything; reconfiguring the filepath, reinstalling both POD Farm & Cubase, I even tired different versions of OSX with no success. Here are some other thread topics concerning to same problem: http://line6.com/support/topic/5872-cant-find-64-bit-vst-plugins-for-mac-osx/ http://line6.com/support/topic/3089-pod-farm2-in-cubase-appears-to-be-in-32-bit-mode/
  13. I am experiencing this exact same issue!, It's hard to believe it's been over a year and the problem has still not been solved. On Mac OSX both the 32 & 64 bit versions are written into the same plug-in, unlike Windows which uses two separate versions. I spent some time on the phone with Line6 tech support and I was told "It's a problem with Cubase not recognizing the 64-bit Universal Binary in the VST plug-in" This is not true! Cubase has no problems recognizing or opening 64-bit plug-ins from any other third-party developer, they all work just fine and I have never seen this before. The POD Farm 2 VST plug-in is just simply not 64-bit. I've tried using Cubase 6, Cubase 7, and Reaper with no luck, also I've read about similar issues on FL Studio. I have yet to try Cubase 8 as it was just recently released but I'm guessing nothing has changed seeing as the problem lies within the POD Farm VST being 32-bit only. I've tried everything; reconfiguring the plug-in filepath, reinstalling both POD Farm & Cubase, I even tried reinstalling/upgrading/downgrading OSX with no success. The Mac OSX version of the POD Farm 2 VST plug-in will not run in 64-bit mode, I'm at a loss. This is very strange becasue the standalone application runs in 64-bit, and Logic recognizes and opens the 64-bit AU plug-in just fine. Clearly something is not right here. A quick search on google revealed that I'm not the only one experiencing the issue, here are other thread topics concering the same problem: http://line6.com/support/topic/5872-cant-find-64-bit-vst-plugins-for-mac-osx/ http://line6.com/support/topic/10985-pod-farm-25-in-64-bits-on-a-mac/ Really hoping for a solution in the near future
  14. This issue has still not been solved! I have tried endlessly to open the 64-bit POD Farm2 VST plug-in on OSX. In OSX both 32 & 64 versions are written into the same plug-in, unlike Windows which has two separate versions. After speaking on the phone with Line6 tech support I was told that "it's a problem with Cubase not recognizing the 64-bit Universal Binary in the POD Farm VST plug-in". That is not true! I have tried this on Cubase 6 and Cubase 7 as well as Reaper, The POD Farm 2 VST plug-in simply does not have a 64-bit Universal Binary for OSX! Also Cubase has no problem recognizing the 64-bit Universal Binaries from any other other plug-in developers, they all open in both 32 and 64 bit just fine. The POD Farm2 standalone application runs in 64-bit, also I am able to run the AU plug-in on 64-bit just fine. Logic recognizes the 64-bit AU and opens it no problem, but no such luck with the VST. I have literally tired everything; Adding a new filepath using the Plug-In Manager, Moving the Plug-Ins to another folder, reinstalling both POD Farm and Cubase, ect,ect, I even tried reinstalling/upgrading/downgrading OSX with no success. I am literally at a loss and cannot figure this out, Line6 states that it's 64-bit but the VST does not work and a quick search on google revealed that I'm obviously not the only one experiencing the problem. I'm really hoping Line6 will actually get their software development team on this issue and stop trying to pass the buck on Steinberg, It's not Cubase! Steinberg is the company that invented VST technology and they know how to open a 64-bit binary, as I stated before all my other third-party 64-bit plug-ins are recognized by Cubase no problem. Just not Line6. I haven't tried in Cubase 8 yet as it was just recently released, but if anyone can confirm that I would bet nothing has changed as the problem obviously lies within the VST being 32-bit only, at least on Mac OSX. Any version of OSX that is, I tried. Here are other thread topics concerning the same issue: http://line6.com/support/topic/3089-pod-farm2-in-cubase-appears-to-be-in-32-bit-mode/ http://line6.com/support/topic/10985-pod-farm-25-in-64-bits-on-a-mac/
