Johnny -

Is what you clicked on "jbridge" or "jbridger"?

"jbridger" is a stand-alone utility that allows you to "wrap" 32-bit effects for 64-bit hosts and 64-bit effects for 32-bit hosts. You won't need to do this with the PGMusic products, but other products that don't automatically support bridging will let you point to the "bridged" effects and scan them for use in their product.

For use with PGMusic products, you don't have to do anything with jbridge, except load a 64-bit VST or VSTi (jbridge does nothing with DX or DXi's). BIAB/RB will know it is installed and use it automatically. However, if you previously had the 32-bit version of the effect or softsynth already installed, you will need to remove it first from your list of available effects and then load the 64-bit version (you can't have both, since they have the same name).

I believe the documentation has information on using jbridger. But basically, you tell it you have, say, a 32-bit host. You select that and then you point to your 64-bit effects and tell it where you want to save the result. You end up with a new file that "wraps" the effect for the 32-bit host. It works inversely if you have a 64-bit host. But again, you don't need to do this with BIAB or RB.

Whenever I install new VST's or VSTi's, I always designate separate folders for my 32-bit effects and my 64-bit effects. That makes it much easier to manage within the host, as well as with jbridger.

So on my machine, I've got the following folder structure:

d:\AppsData\VST\32-bit\(all my 32-bit VST/VSTi's)
d:\AppsData\VST\64-bit\(all my 64-bit VST/VSTi's)
d:\AppsData\VST\jbridge\32-bit-hosts\(my bridged 64-bit VST/VSTi's for use in 32-bit hosts)
d:\AppsData\VST\jbridge\64-bit-hosts\(my bridged 32-bit VST/VSTi's for use in 64-bit hosts)

So in my 32-bit hosts, I can tell it to look for VST's in:

"d:\AppsData\VST\32-bit;d:\AppsData\VST\jbridge\32-bit hosts"

And in my 64-bit hosts, I can tell it to look for VST's in:

"d:\AppsData\VST\64-bit;d:\AppsData\VST\jbridge\64-bit hosts"

I'm sure that's clear as mud, and again, you don't need to do any of that for the PGMusic applications.
