Sampletank 2.5 (the one that comes with BIAB) won't function properly without this mode engaged in most instances. To post images... 1. Click on the "Switch to full reply screen" button below the 'Quick Reply' window where forum replies are typed. 2. Click on File Manager and then navigate to the image you want to upload. MY SONGS...

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 20,576 Australia	colly, I be fuzzy-headed and mentioned it in a post to someone else. Anything's possible Just to clarify... The free Sampletank (Sampletank 2.5) requires BIAB to run in Administrator mode. To set this permanently... 1. simply right-click on the BIAB shortcut 2. select "Properties" 3. click on the "Compatibility" tab 4. set the "Privilege level" You'll also need to do this for the Realband shortcut.

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 20,576 Australia	colly, Ahh... I see... Sampletank 3 is a 64-bit VST plugin and you will need to use JBridge to interface the program with BIAB or Realband. I have not used JBridge so my knowledge is non-existent here. Below is a link to a Youtube clip that Larry Kehl recently posted for you on using JBridge. Even though it's BIAB, the same principles apply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MbiDGAUkic&feature=youtu.be And HERE is a link to an article by John Ford that also might help.

Then you just enter your email on the site to receive the latest version of jbridge. Yo have to use either 7zip or WinZip to decompress the file. You then get a zip file th itself needs decompressing. Then you get an EXE, which you run to install jbridge. Once you do that, you can load 64-bit VST's in BIAB and RealBand.
