I've read somewhere that 2019 RealBand is a 32 bit program. PowerTracks Pro is still 2018 so I'm sure it remains 32 bit.

On my computer running Windows 7 64 bits, the operating system views Band-in-a-Box 32 bit and Band-in-a-Box 64 bit as two, distinct programs. However, both programs save the exact, same Band-in-a-Box files.

During installation, the Band-in-a-Box installer creates a sub-folder at "X:bb\Songs" where X = your BiaB installation hard drive letter. So, if you open both programs and save song files to the common location you should be able to use the 64 bit soft synth in the 64 bit BiaB without resorting to jBridge. Render the tracks to WAV. In RealBand, import both the song file and track renders. You can use Edirol HyperCanvas and Coyote Forte in the 32 bit BiaB or RB. The best of both worlds.
