Hi, need help in solving this "annoying" problem I can not solve.
I've included 2 screenshots.
BIAB seems to think I have 64 bit Windows (have 32) and need JBridge ??? I have re-installed more times than I can remember.

Installation Option 1 is the one I use(d).
Need help before I turn the USB drive into a coaster !!!

Thanks

"Program Files" points to 64bit software.
"Program File (86)" points to 32 bit software.

Your Amplitube installation is probably a 64bit software and you need JBridge to connect it to the 32bit BIAB.

Edit: Sorry, I did not see the "(32 bit)" caveat. Larry Kehl is right about the folder names.

DE,

Could you please step through how you load Amplitube? It might be something in the loading sequence that is causing the issue.

For example: Are you adding it to a midi track or a Realtrack; Are you loading it in the synth slot or the effect slot? (etc.)

Regards,
Noel

This is JUST MY OPINION but (and yes I read your post you said you have a 32-bit OS: so yes I know do not have a folder called "C:\Programs Files (x86)")

I'm pretty sure that is NOW a GENERIC PG warning when it's trying to load ANY VST/VSTi .DLL that is invalid, corrupt, not a audio or "music" (VST/VSTi) .dll, etc. It could be you or PG pointed BIAB to a invalid or NOT YET properly installed/configured/AUTHORIZED AmpliTube 3 .dll.

1. Neither PG or IK Multimedia actually install the actual VST plug-in (.dll) called "AmpliTube 3 .dll" in the folder called
C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\Amplitube 3

That folder is where the User Manual and other .pdf's goes, the Amplitube 3 "standalone" executable, some files you don’t need to worry about (vpa's), etc.

2. Not sure where PG does a default install of AmpliTube 3.dll (I have full AT 3 and now AT 4 as well and don’t let PG re-install any IK stuff) so it may or MAY NOT be installed in that Steinberg folder in PG your warning, (i.e.,

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins\Amplitube 3.dll

Double check your system and find all occurrences of "AmplTube 3.dll" (should actually only be one and most current is dated 2/8/2013 and is 201 KB's [as reported on my system])

The 32- bit version is dated 2/8/2013 and is 201 KB's [as reported on my 64 bit NFTS win 7 system]

The 64-bit version (3.15) is dated 12/2/2011 (yes older) and is 216 KB's [as reported blah, blah..].

You only want PG to point to the 32 bit version

3. If that is where it is the correct date/size (i.e., the 32 bit version) and it is installed in the …\Steinberg folder then you probably need to get Amplitube 3 authorized? You have already done that?
If you have previously authorized it and the standalone works without complaints about authorization then I would suggest that you UNINSTALL the VST from the BIAB VST pull-in down menu ("Plugins" - > "Options -> Remove VST Plugin (from list)…"

Then re-point BIAB to the 32 bit AmpliTube 3.dll.

My experience shows that once a VST/VSTi DLL is loaded in the PG list , loading or re-loading another one with an identical name does nothing; it WILL NOT OVERWRITE the one in the pull down list until it has been removed.

Good Luck
Larry

I've been at this for the last 3 (full) days.
I'll get back after a bit of rest.
Thanks in the meanwhile.

Finally "Satisfaction"

The last few days was absolutely terrible.
The 2 screenshots pretty much says it all.
THANK you for the responses.

I downloaded Amplitube 3.15c and then Authorized it.
I "think" I might have forgotten the Authorization; did so many things the last few days.

Usually it will tell you you're running an unauthorized version and it reverts to demo mode in that case, while prompting you to enter the auth code.

Oh, that never happened. In fact BB came up with that error message when I went to Plugins and I selected Amplitube (under add VST plugins). It just came up with to use JBridge. No matter how many times I uninstalled and rebooted and re-installed using that same AT 3.315c. At some point I used Authorize (all ok) and still the same error message from BB 2016.

This time I looked and deleted all AT3.dll before installing AT and then immediately authorized it, then tried BB and "finally" success.

When you install IK-Multimedia products that have both 32-bit and 64-bit dll's, you have to be very careful to specify different folders for each one (it's easy to miss). If you don't, then it will overwrite the 32-bit DLL with the 64-bit DLL (although I'm not sure why it would even try to do that on a 32-bit version of Windows, but weirder things have happened).

One of the prompts when you install does specify the location for the VSTi dll's, so always be sure to make note of it as that's where you'll want to select it from in BIAB/RealBand.

I'm glad it's now working.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
