VST Plugins in Windows

Hi, I’m new in Ardour switched to it looking for a nice alternative to Cubase (which I don’t want to pay nor to pirate).

I have a problem with my VST plugins.

I can’t get ALL OF THEM to work properly in Ardour.

More exactly some of them are correctly recognized when I scan them (and if recognized work fine 100%) some other are just “invisible” to Ardour.

Is there a reason for this and any workaround?

I use Windows system so I can’t actually use other plugin format than VST since both LDSPA and LV2 are focused on linux and I need to compile them and I don’t know how (yet don’t know if needed dependencies are available for a correct 100% working compiling under windows SO)

Thank to everyone who can help

First question, is it possible some of your VSTs are 32 bit and some are 64 bit?
