Janet,

I always install 3rd party plugins in their default directories as determined by the program's installer. That seems to get the best results. There's no reason to copy it to \bb.

Below is how I go about adding a VSTi plugin into BIAB.

1. Select "Plugins | Plugins dialog" (upper image).

2. Select a track that has MIDI on it. I've used the Piano track (lower image).

(MIDI tracks are identified by yellow writing. If the writing is green, it's a Realtrack. Synth options are not available for Realtracks, only effect options are.)

3. Select the "Add VSTi option, navigate to where Aria/Garritan is located and select it.

(The path you give in your post for your location of Garritan is identical to mine.)

All the best,
Noel
