Hi, Bloc-Head,

jBridge works both ways. With it, you can use 64-bit VST(i)'s with a 32-bit application and you can use 64-bit VST(s)'s with a 64-bit application.

Some music applications support it natively (BIAB, RealBand, Sonar, etc), in which case you don't have to "wrap" the VST using jBridge first; you just select it and use it.

For those that don't support it natively, you must first run a utility to create a "bridged" version of the VST, and then you select that instead. Be careful when you do that that you don't move the VST dll's around afterwards, otherwise, jBridge won't find it.

Also, as has been pointed out, you can't run 64-bit anything with a 32-bit operating system. If you are still using Windows XP 32-bit or Windows 7 32-bit, for example, having jBridge isn't going to help you any. A VST is a dll file that is just a small application that requires a host to run. But just like you can't run the 64-bit version of Sonar on a 32-bit operating system, likewise, you can't run the 64-bit VST either. In fact, you probably won't even be able to install the VST in the first place.

jBridge is just what it's name says, a bridging utility to allow use of both 32-bit and 64-bit VST(i)'s in either 32-bit or 64-bit applications on a 64-bit operating system.
