Is it that the BIAB windows version has something built in to allow use of the jbridge? I have to be honest--this is very disappointing to not be able to use VST plug ins.

I don't have a Mac, so I have to ask, does the Mac version of BIAB support Mac VST plugins (the Windows and Mac VSTs are different, so you need to have the correct ones)? Jbridge is used to make 32-bit plugins work in a 64-bit host and vice versa. If you have only 32-bit plugins in a 32-bit environment, or only 64-bit plugins in a 64-bit environment, then you don't need Jbridge at all. And do you have mixed 32-bit/64-bit plugins? If so, then why not just download the JBridge from the site and try it out. The Windows version comes with a utility called Jbridger that allows you to wrap plugins for the other format (so you can wrap a 32-bit plugin to work with 64-bit a host). I would imagine the Mac version comes with that also. The Windows version the PGMusic provides was modified so that BIAB can use JBridge natively, without having to wrap the plugins with JBridger first. It just makes the use of JBridge seamless. I have used JBridge a long time before BIAB made it available. I suspect (especially since the JBridge web site still indicates that JBridge for Mac is still beta), that the host integration hasn't been done. But JBridge lets you try before you buy, so why not try?

Perhaps in coming years PGMusic will add plugins. Fred Grittner 2020 iMac, Sonoma, Logic Pro https://52tracksblog.com https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com
