Band-in-a-Box desktop version comes as two versions,
- 64 bit version, program name is bbw64.exe. That’s a full 64 bit version, separate from the 32 bit one. It can only link to 64 bit plugins and synths etc. and can use more than 2GB of memory.
- 32 bit version, program name is bbw.exe (same idea as above, but 32 bit only)

You can choose which one to run, they have very similar features. If you’re on a 64 bit OS, you’d likely want to run the 64 bit version,

Then there is a new VST plugin. The plugin comes in various formats, but the main one we recommend is the 64 bit VST3 instrument plugin. The plugin uses a biab engine running in background that is 32bit. We will switch that to 64bit later this year, but there is little consequence to that as it is mostly just a background process.


Have Fun!
