64 bit OS..

[absynth]

but its the only thing that someone could tell @ the moment why to use 64 bit for audio apps

test it and you will see using a 64 bit os is just wasting time at this point of time

better stick to your productive 32 bit os untill windows 8 and really be productive and not just testing stuff

To be honest 64 bit audio processing is likely the least common reason for wanting to switch to 64 bit.

32 bit windows can not address more than 4gb of RAM (including video memory, so around 3.5gb for most people) it's really not that hard at all to eat up that much ram doing audio production. Not to mention I do other things on my computer that would really benefit from the ability to upgrade to 64 bit and pop in some more ram.

Oh and it's windows 7 not 8

Thats due to the state of driver support from access and yamaha at this time, otherwise I would have been using 64 bit for a couple years now.

cant believe it .. still no drivers for the virus ti... that's the only driver I am waiting for.. $#@%!@#$% damn access!! wake up!

I've got a dual boot on my I7. XP on one side, W7 on the other. Would love to be using Windows 7/64 with ableton, but VC is the only thing holding me back. I even use W7/64 for my video editing.

But yeah, with Windows 8 being ONLY 64bit, I don't see feasibility for any company to hold back on 64 bit drivers.

Unless they're discontinuing product?

Would love a word. None of us want to be stuck in 32 bit world for the rest of our lives just because we love our antiquated hardware. Access, please don't let that be you.

Something tells me though that Access has the integrity to bring us 64bit -- keeping in mind that converting drivers from 32bit to 64bit is no picnic from what I've heard from other developers.

I am hopeful that they will release x64 drivers to coincide with Windows 7 release.

*fingers crossed*

Keep in mind this is >3 months away!

Windows 8 Interesting quote????

Only 64bit Even more interesting quote????

Windows 7 is the next release due and is 32 and 64 bit home/pro and ultimate editions....

but the question is which benefits would it bring to use vc in 64 Bit mode?

VC is not a sampler which needs lots of RAM, and as i said you can make a plugin 64 Bit Processing also in a 32 Bit OS

i´m shure access would bring out a 64 bit version but only if it really would make any sense

doesn't even matter what platform, almost every company is making 64 bit drivers, why is access waiting so long? My nord g2 has 64bit drivers, my Motu stuff has 64bit drivers.
