VSTi stops playing when selecting other track
So I like putting on Addictive Drums on a track and letting it play a drum beat inside the vst while I fiddle around on another track with a synth. The thing is the Addictive Drums track will stop playing when deselect the track and select another track to play a synth on or something. I've tried ctrl clicking so both tracks are selected and it does work but I will start to hear the drum hits from the Addictive Drum tracks along with the Synth on the other track. Anyway to keep the Addictive Drums playing while riffing on another synth track?

No - not by itself. Once the track loses focus it won't continue to play the pattern on the VST itself.
You could drag the pattern from the VST to the track, and then loop that section. Hit play on the transport and that will continue to loop. You can click on the track you want to mess around with and play.
