Having a reasonably fast computer, I was shocked to find out that I could not run several VST3 plugins (Izotope /IK,etc). Shuttering audio, Stopped Audio engine, crackling..., like I was going back to 90s. I spent hours of precious time trying to figure out what was happening, doing some stuff to PC I was not very comfortable with. Ohh, the things I've tried! VST3, even in idle state spiked several CPU cores to "reds" with 2048 buffer, wifi turned off and running nothing ridiculous in the background.
Then, in a random thought I decided to swap all the plugins in the project to VST2 versions. Audio issues are gone! Go figure.
I see no difference in plugin operation or final results. I will stick to VST2 for time being. Hope this helps some poor soul.

Just to verify were you trying to run VST3s in BiaB, Rb, or a DAW. If it is a DAW which one?
PS - I have read where some are having problems with VST3s. IIRC they were on a Mac and/or were running Cubase on a PC.

Mainly I used VST3s with Cakewalk. I had an issue with VST3 in BIAB and switched to VST2 time ago. The point of the story, if there is issues with playback audio + VST3 it worth to give a shot reverting to VST2 to see if problem goes away. It took me good several weeks to figure out what was causing dropouts and other audio issues P.S. Izotope and some IK plugins are known to be a CPU leaches, but their VST3s versions were just not usable for me.

Believe it or not, many apps still do not support VST3. Interestingly, AutoTune adopted it early and never supported VST2.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
