To use 64-bit VST's in BIAB or RealBand, you need to install jBridge.

You should have received a file via email from jBridge with a subject line something like:

jbridgev1.72b - Your Name

In this message will be information about this particular release, along with the password you need to unlock jbridge.

If you just downloaded the latest version from jbridge's site, that is just an evaluation version, not the registered version. If you purchased jbridge, you should be able to request the most recent version. The email with the file usually arrives within the hour.

There will be a file attachment named similarly to the subject line, but with a 7z extension.

Save this file to your hard drive somewhere, then locate it using Windows Explorer.

You can unzip the file using either 7Zip, WinRAR, or WinZip (I just did it using all three). Assuming you have one of those installed, you should be able to right click on the file name and from the popup menu, select unzip with (using one of the above mentioned programs) and select unzip to "here".

You will be asked for the password (which you received in your email). Enter the password, and you will now have a new file with the same base file name, but a ZIP extension.

Right click on that file and unzip it again (to "here") and it will extract a new file with the same base file name, but a EXE extension.

Now, just double click on the EXE file and install jbridge. Once installed, BIAB will know about it and let you use 64-bit plugins.

You also get the bridger utility which will let you "wrap" 64-bit plugins for use in other 32-bit audio applications that support VSTs. Likewise, you can use jbridger to wrap 32-bit plugins for use in 64-bit audio applications. You should read the instructions before doing so, however.

But, you don't need to use jbridger at all to use jbridge within BIAB and RealBand. They recognize that you have installed it and will let you install your plugins.

If you already have the same 32-bit plugin installed, you'll have to uninstall it first, then install the 64-bit plugin (at least that's what I've found).

If you need help doing that, let us know.
