Is this the product previously called Stock Plugin Bridge?
Yes. The plugin and Hub now display RysUpBridge. Your existing license and installer remain compatible. Download filenames, license records and internal product IDs retain Stock Plugin Bridge for compatibility.
How do I use it in another DAW?
Install and activate RysUpBridge through RysUpHub 1.0.109 or later. In a compatible destination DAW, insert Bridge on a mono or stereo audio track at 48 kHz. Choose a mono-to-stereo insert for stereo output from a mono track. Then choose a source, select a supported effect and open its editor. Live and Studio effects work straight away; other sources must be installed. Adjust the effect and save your destination project to recall it later.
What is RysUpBridge, and why does it matter?
Stock effects usually belong to the DAW they came with. RysUpBridge lets you use them inside another compatible AU or VST3 host, so you keep a familiar EQ, compressor, reverb or creative effect while changing where you record and mix. Ableton Live and Studio One/Studio Pro effects are built into Bridge as Rys Up’s own versions, closely matched to the originals, so you don’t need Live or Studio at all. Logic Pro, GarageBand, FL Studio, Cubase, REAPER and Pro Tools effects run the original processor and editor from your installed, licensed DAW. Either way, the settings save in your destination session.
Do I need to own the source DAW?
Not for Ableton Live or Studio One/Studio Pro. Bridge plays 39 Live effects and 32 Studio effects with its own built-in versions, closely matched to the originals; some settings can sound slightly different. Nine more Studio effects use Bridge’s version when Studio isn’t installed and Studio’s own version when it is. For Logic Pro, GarageBand, FL Studio, Cubase, REAPER and Pro Tools, yes: that DAW and a valid license must be installed on the same computer. Bridge does not include vendor software, unlock paid effects or replace a source license.
Which Live and Studio effects are included?

Can I use any stock plugin in any DAW?
RysUpBridge opens stock effects beyond their original DAW, but the current release supports selected effects, source versions and platforms. Your destination must load AU on Apple Silicon Mac or VST3 on Apple Silicon Mac or Windows x64. Instruments, every stock effect, Intel Mac and AAX destination hosting are not included. Check the Bridge browser for the effects available on your computer.
Which systems and formats are supported?
The current release runs on Apple Silicon macOS as AU and VST3, and Windows x64 as VST3, at 48 kHz with mono, mono-to-stereo and stereo layouts. Use a compatible AU or VST3 destination host. Intel Mac and an AAX destination version are not included in this release.
Which effects does the Windows release include?
Windows now matches Mac for Live and Studio effects: the same 39 Live effects and 32 Studio effects, with no Live or Studio install needed. It also includes 8 REAPER effects, 8 Cubase effects, 17 Avid effects and FL Balance, which still need the matching DAW and license installed.
Which source DAWs does the Mac release cover?
The Mac release includes supported effects from Logic Pro, GarageBand, FL Studio, Ableton Live, Studio Pro or Studio One, Cubase, REAPER and Pro Tools. Live and Studio effects work without those DAWs installed. This is support for selected effects and compatible source versions, not every device in each DAW.
Can I close the source DAW?
Live and Studio effects don’t use the source DAW at all, so there’s nothing to keep open or installed. For other sources, some integrations start the installed DAW in the background; others use its installed effect binaries while it stays closed. Bridge manages any background process it starts. Those source installations and licenses must remain available.
Will my settings return when I reopen a session?
Yes. Bridge saves the selected effect and its settings with your destination session. Sessions with Live or Studio effects reopen with their settings on any computer running Bridge, including one with no Live or Studio. For other effects, keep the compatible source installation, source license and any external effect assets available when reopening or moving the session.
Is it included in RysUpSuite?
Yes. An active RysUpSuite subscription includes RysUpBridge and the current paid lineup, plus future paid releases while active. Annual Suite is $119.88 billed yearly, equivalent to $9.99 per month; monthly Suite is $14.99. You can also own RysUpBridge for $49.99.
