I just upgraded to BIAB 2015 Mega Pak and also purchased the jbridge. I tried to install jbridge, but not sure I did. How do I know if it is working? I'm not even sure what it is! Thanks
you have to try to open a 64 bit Plugin. If Jbridge is installed properly it will help make t he connection If not it will say that you can't open the plug.
HP Win 11 12 gig ram, Mac mini Sonoma with 16 gig of ram, BiaB 2025, Realband, Reaper 7, Harrison Mixbus 9 32c , Melodyne 5 editor, Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL, Presonus control app.
I opened an effect (SampleTank 3) within BIAB and at the bottom of the new window it said that JBridge was active.
What is it? Some programs are compiled to run with a bandwidth of 64 bits others need only 32 and even older programs only 16 or 8 bits of bandwidth. (See it as a highway with as many lanes going in the same direction.) Here we only look at 64 and 32 bits.
This bandwidth is not only that more data can be processed at the same time it also means that there are more addresses available in the memory (RAM) of the computer.
Very often now 64-bit and 32-bit programs don't like each other and don't work together. JBridge mediates between those two and helps to bridge tha gap. So when you are using a 64-bit operating system JBridge lets 32-bit programs work together with 64-bit applications and 64-bit programs with 32-bit applications.
Band in a Box is a 32-bit program. Currently it doesn't need more bandwith. E. g. SampleTank 3 on the other hand is a 64-bit application. To have BIAB in a position to use SampleTank 3 you need somebody to negotiate between those two. JBridge does that.
If you don't use a 64-bit application inside of BIAB or RealBand it does no harm to have it installed.
I downloaded jBridge yesterday and everytime I click on it from the start menu it says I need to do a right click and run it as an administrator. I do it and it keeps telling me the same thing as if I didn't do it. Is it too late to get my money back?
I haven't heard of this before. Have you tried setting Administrator rights?
To do this, right-click on the shortcut and, from the menu that pops up, select "Properties". Under one of the tabs in the Properties Window, you'll find an option to run the program as administrator. Activate this option. (This is the permanent way of engaging the "run as administrator" setting.)
Regarding a refund, you'll need to ask PG Music about that, we're only users in these forums. Perhaps use "Live Chat". The link for this can be found under the "Support" tab at the top of the webpage.
Regards, Noel
P.S. What are your computer and its operating specs?
I believe JBridge is meant to be run inside a host, and not as a standalone. I get the same behavior if I try to just run it on its own from the start menu, but it works inside RB just fine.. Have you tried using inside BiaB, RB, Reaper or Sonar?
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
With windows 7 64bit I got sampletank 3 working this way. 1) installed Jbridge, 2) ran jbridger, selected 32bit host, 4) set it to individual plug in selection and then searching for the folder the original 64bit sampletank3.dll was installed, 5) let i write a 32bit version to the BIAB folder, 6) chose the creates sampletank3.32.dll as preferred VST plugin from within BIAB's dxi selection menu, thus as default VSTi synth.
One question regarding ST3 remains: has any one created successfully a GM sound set to be working autoloaded from within BIAB booting for Sampletank 3? Seems either a lot of work, as with Sampletank 2.5; i gave it up with too many errors on the way to get it working). Or is it not possible at all maybe? I had Hypersonic 2 working before, but you always had to reset it to GM modus first within the plugins GUI after booting BIAB. - F
If you have current JBridge 1.7b3 and BIAB/RB 2015 all those steps are NOT necessary, and will probably lead to later confusion issues over which .dll is which.
Just install JBridge 1.7b3 and run ST3 from inside BIAB or RB
This past summer, when ST 3 came out, using the JBridge 1.65 demo version I tested ST3 with BIAB/ RB 2014 (and PowerTracks) to if the same procedure you just listed above would allow BIAB/RB 2014 to use ST3: those steps worked (as you found out).
However, all those extra steps are NOT required - as a matter of fact I've tested 1.7b3 with multiple 64 bit VSTi's and VST and they (so far) ALL work inside BIAB/RB 2015.
As for running JBridge as "standalone" my installation created two items in the Programs (aka Start Menu) folder for "JBridge" the apps are- "JBridger" and "uninstall."
As administrator, actually user with full admin privileges, I can run the JBridger app which starts you down a path of doing what fiddler2007 just described as seen in pics
