Decided to add some synths to the plug-ins list, so as not to be limited to ForteDXi voices. Chose the synth tab, per the BIAB instructions, and navigated to my Cakewalk folder which contains most of my plug-ins. Started with Native Instruments Akoustik Piano - loaded fine, played fine. Then chose NI's B4 II (organ) - loaded fine but wouldn't play at all (yes I had an organ voice selected). Then chose NI's Elektrik Piano - full 5 seconds latency. Funny thing is, after I shut down BIAB and re-opened, it still had Elektrik Piano as the plug-in, and it played with almost no latency whatsoever. But as soon as I switched to Akoustik Piano (which had played fine the first time), I then got the big 5 second latency from that one too.

All of these VSTi's play with no noticeable latency in Sonar. Any reason why they'd be giving me trouble in BIAB? Does it have to do with registering them with BIAB first? I'm using ASIO and have an Edirol UA-25EX sound interface. My USB midi controller at the moment is a new Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard. Again, no latency whatsoever in Sonar with this very same setup, both directly before and directly after my aforementioned BIAB session. BIAB 2010, Build #294. Thanks for any input.
