VST's crashing BIAB #423737 07/30/17 06:34 AM Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh

If the VST does show up for example Native Instruments Guitar Rig MF, the minute I choose a preset and then hit play on BIAB it crashes. I hope this makes sense! I have the latest version of BIAB 2017 Pro. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I ask because my understanding is VSTs work with Windows systems while Mac systems use AUs.

I don't know what the specifications are for Band-in-a-Box Mac but the Windows program is 32 bit. The Windows program requires the use of a specific version of JBridge for Windows (available from PG Music) to use a 64 bit VST. +++ JBridge for Mac +++ also exists but I do not know if it has been modified to work with Band-in-a-Box. That may be a question to ask PG Music support.
