Personally, I never use any plugins in BB or RB. I use all plugs in my DAW, Sonar.

Crashes are normally from conflicts of one sort or another.

I write in BB, render audio tracks in RB and mix in X1

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
