Thanks for the quick reply, Noel. Before I posted, I made sure I was using the 32 bit version of the Aria player dll, and it is definitely a VST plugin. It does give an error dialog if I try using the 64 bit version (I do not have jBridge.)

1. If what you've tried to load is a DXi version of the plugin, it cannot be loaded via the "Add VSTi plugin" method above.

2. If you've tried to load a 64-bit version of the plugin that will not be able to added unless you have jbridge installed because BIAB is a 32-bit application.

  • Even though the "\program files(x86)" should contain only 32-bit plugins, there've been instances on these forums where 64-bit plugins have also been added to directories therein. The 32-bit plugin will have _x86 in its name.

3. Did you try both the _x86 and the _x86(multi) plugins? It might be that one of these works with BIAB and the other does not (as you can see from my images, I have the _x86 one loaded).

I don't know if this will help but the below link will take you to the latest version of Aria Player (it's free).
