Someone verify this for me. I ran and exited 6 instances of BB 2025 v1024. I checked task manager and there are 6 instances of bbw64.exe listed as background tasks consuming each 803 to 1164 MB of memory. Shouldn't they release the memory? They don't consume CPU cycles but that's 4-5 gigs of memory tied up (I have 32 gig total).

Biab plays the tracks in RAM, if you don't want to use all that RAM use the Plugin Standalone set on WAV Instructions only. I haven't tried multiple instances of it but it will play the tracks direct from disk, it will load and play a frozen song quicker than Biab. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29456&filename=BB25-Plugin-Wav-Instructions.png)

Just started and stopped BIAB 6 times and it released the memory each time. Note that I am running the 2024 version, not 2025 as I have note decided to upgrade this year.

Musocity, I'll try the VST3. The screen shot is helpful. Tom Laskey

Joseph, thanks for checking that in 2024. The 2025 might be new behavior or I might have operator error. Tom Laskey

It's the Standalone Plugin version C:\bb\BBPlugin\Files\Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin Standalone.exe It will run multiple instances but you need to close bbw4_64.exe running in the background before using functions in another instance. Hopefully they should fix this soon. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29585&filename=BB25-2-Plugin-Standalones.png) Memory used with song loaded and playing: ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29586&filename=BB25-Plugin-Standalone-Memory.png) ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29587&filename=BB25-2-Instances-Memory.png)

Matt,
I was not using Halion but something else in my plug in usage may have been similar in program calls or structure.
