Izotope Rx 7 Free Download 64-bit

[Randell Magtoto]

Irecently built a new PC with all new hardware and a new install of Windows 10. One of the first things I did was upgrade to the newest Sound Forge (12) and the newest ACID (8). I had Sound Forge Pro 10 before. I really like the Izotope plugins that came with it: the "Izotope Mastering Effects Bundle 2". I still have the Sound Forge 10 installation CD. I installed the plugins again, but I cannot get Sound Forge 12 to find them. The were installed to:

I went to Options->Preferences... and under the VST Effects tab I added that path to the "Default VST2 search folder", but they are not showing up. I used these plugins for a long time and I use them quite a bit. How can I use them in version 12?

- All versions of Sound Forge, prior to AS 12 and Pro 12 are 32 bit (x86). Pro 12 has both 64 bit and 32 bit versions. Allegedly... they can be installed concurrently but I have not tried it. The different Pro 12.1 versions can be downloaded from links in a post.

The Sound Forge / iZotope Mastering Suites 1&2 I have/had are DX (Direct X) and do not run in 64 bit SF Pro 12 .. or 64 bit versions of Vegas. My Ultrafunk DX plug ins will not run either, but the SCS legacy DX plug-ins run in all versions (go fiqure). I suspect the mastering suite will run in the x86 version of Pro 12. but I have not tried that either. I use SF Pro 10 (or 11) when I need a particular plug-in from the mastering suite.

SF Pro 10 works great on all my PCs. (XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 10), aside from the occasional Win10 update forking up Sound Forge's elevated privileges)

If some of your VST plug-ins are not available, confirm the plug in's files are in one of the VST effects search folders. (usually Steinberg and/or VST in 'Program files (x86) Some third-party plug-ins (Waves and Plug-in Alliance for instance) are placed in their own folders when installed. You must add these folders as an alternate VST search. "Options> Preferences> VST effects. This is not necessary with Direct X plug-ins.

However most third-party VST and DX plug-ins (including the iZotope Mastering Suite) will not be listed in the FX favorites by default. If you want them there, select 'FX favorites> Organize' to add them, or use the FX Chainer. The same goes for SF Pro 11 & 12.

So I just ensured that there are in fact dll's in my SoundForgeMasteringBundle folder. Well technically they are in a "win32" sub folder. I just went back to both version 12 and 10. I changed the path to add the "win32". No difference. I'm not surprised. I'm reluctant to believe a VST search engine would not know how to handle sub-directories.

Have you tried jBridge, as referenced in one of my earlier replies? 32 bit VSTs will never work in a 64 bit environment unless you use either a 32 bit version of your host DAW or are prepared to use jBridge, or something very like it, though I know of no alternative app.

As I stated, iZotope's 'Mastering Effects Bundle for Sound Forge' is Direct X, so adding it to the VST search folders is futile.

Was the FX bundle installed prior to SF 10? If so, uninstall and reinstall the mastering suite, this should at least make it usable with the 32 bit SF Pro 10. If not, uninstall both Pro 10 and the IZotope FX bundle with a third-party uninstaller (Revo's Uninstall for instance), that removes an app's leftover registry entries. Then reinstall Pro 10, then the mastering suite. BTW, the iZ mastering FX bundle will need to be re-authorized. I'm not aware of any way to make the 32 bit 'Mastering Effects Bundle for Sound Forge' work with 64 bit Pro 12.

Sorry, I had forgotten that the iZotope Mastering Effects Bundle for Sound Forge is, indeed, DirectX so yes, jBridge is completely unsuitable! However for 32 bit VSTs in a 64 bit DAW, or vice versa, it is most definitely invaluable.

I don't know if rebooting helped, but for whatever reason, Sound Forge Pro 10 can now access the plugins. It's not ideal that I cannot load them in 12, but it's better than no access to them at all...

Hello! Just found this thread, thank you for the information, which helped! I just upgraded Sound Forge Pro from 10 to 12 and first installed the 64-bit version, and was initially very disappointed that I couldn't get the Izotope Mastering Effects Bundle into the FX Favorites menu - I use it a lot in SF10!

Happy to report that I've just also installed the 32-bit version of SFP12, and now they're there! Yay! Very happy. I thought it was a licensing restriction, but I see now that it was just a 32 vs 64 version limitation. Thanks again.

Those iZotope plugins are really old (6+ year old, or something?), and are outclassed [easily] by their Elements products, these days. You can get those as low as $9.99-29.99 on sale, pretty routinely. They ship with VST2/3 plugins, 32- and 64-bit, as well as AAX. You'll have the same tools across all of your Audio/Video Products, without the need to switch builds to access them. That's better workflow efficiency.

Sound Forge is, to me, most useful as a companion to a DAW like Samplitude Pro Suite or an NLE like VEGAS Pro - which can launch it as an external editing or destructive Wave Editing/Cleanup. But for something like Samplitude, you barely need it for the effects it has... since the DAW has effects that are generally better than those in Sound Forge, anyways. It's mostly for the specialized tooling the application has for wave editing (which go beyond the Wave Editing in the DAW, or the Audio Editing in an NLE like VEGAS Pro).

Audacity only just upgraded to 64-Bit like a month or two ago... and apart from Apple removing 32-Bit support, I don't think many of their users saw it as "absolutely necessary." Most people don't edit audio files so large that 32-Bit becomes a problem.

I am using adobe audition to record, mix/master songs. I got a new plugin from Izotope (Ozone elements 9). I have been working on a session with no issues. Now after a couple of weeks, hen I try to ppen this session, it gives me an issue that reads:

I have tried to uninstall/install Ozone. I have made sure everything is up to date. When I try to open plug-in manager under effects, the whole project freezes and I am forced to restart. Also, when I go to VST3 plugins, I notice that Ozone is there, but it is grayed out.

There has always been a significant compatibility issue with izotope Ozone 9 VST plugins. you may have a bit depth compatibility issue.

have you checked that the .dll files from Ozone 9 are 32 bit or 64bit.

That is a very sweeping statement! Speaking entirely personally, I have never met any sort of compatibility issue between Ozone 9 and Audition. You mention the possibility of the bitrate being wrong but I believe Ozone 9 is 64 bit only so the issue should not arise.

I have just purchased a new laptop (Asus Zenbook Pro Duo) and trying to get everything installed and working. I can't seem to get Vegas 18 Pro to recognize my RX8 Plugins. It sees the RX7 plugins which are in the same folder. The same RX8 and Vegas versions on my old laptop worked fine.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try different? As I mentioned this is a new laptop. I installed Vegas before I installed the other audio software. Since I have been having issued I uninstalled and reinstalled Vegas to see if it would make any difference having the plugins already on the computer before Vegas was installed, but no change. I have re-scanned the VST folders multiple times. As noted the RX7 plugins which are in the same folder show up.

When I installed RX8 it did not give me the option to choose any particular version - VST2, VST3, etc. Neither did RX7 when I installed it. ON the Izotope Product portal it just says 'Plug-in Formats: AU, AAX, VST2, VST3. All plug-in formats are 64-bit only." I presume, though I maybe wrong, that the the one .dll file is good for both VST2 and VST3. I will do some more investigation with RX to see if I can specifically choose which flavor of VST to install.

So I did more investigation and found that RX installs both VST2 and VST3 Plugins. The VST3 are installed in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and the VST2 plugins are installed in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins. Everything else in the VST2 folder is installed except the RX8

I do already have Vegas pointing to the folder where the VST2 plugins are located. IN that folder are plug ins for Neutron Elements, Ozone 9, MeldaProductions, RX 7 and RX 8. Neutron, Melda and RX7 all show up in Vegas, Ozone 9 and RX8 do not. As I said earlier this is a brand new laptop, all the plugins worked just fine on the older one that is being replaced. So I am still trying to puzzle out what is happening.

I noticed @jeffagwm you put the Steinberg folder in Default VST folder box in VP preferences.

Have you tried using the order in my screen shot below ?

1. C:\Program Files\VSTplugins\

2. C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins\

@Dr Zen Many thanks, your post led me to the answer. My RX8 and Ozone 9 plugin are showing and accessible in Vegas. I did not change my order. What is did change was the Steinberg VST from the 32 bit to the 64 bit. I noticed in your post that you had C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins\ while I had C:\Program Files(x86)\Steinberg\VstPlugins\. I just switched to the 64-bit folder and it all work. Many thanks to everyone who helped to lead me to the solution.
