Now Cubase no longer recognizes any plugins even though the dll files are in the same local, never moved. Yes, a 32 bit program was working in Windows 8 64 bit 圆4 OS.
Worked great for a week, all the VST plugins showed in the FX boxes, I could select any one of them and apply them to the audio or midi tracks.
I've upgraded to a new computer, installed my favorite studio recording program, Cubase, with my external sound card US 112.
