64 bit OS..

[DNME]

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

[zeno]

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

There are many advantages to running on a 64 bit platform, and the ability to use >6gb is only one of them.

Fact is, many machines coming out now are 64 bit. Windows 8 will be 64bit only. Sooner or later, all 32 bit software will be antiquated, just like 16 bit.

Also, think about it. No one JUST runs VC. I run my host system (ableton) with rewire from Renoise and Reason. I also use other plugins. I also do a lot of video editing. It makes most sense for me to run these systems under 64 bit - It's MUCH faster. If I want to use the VC plugin, I have to boot into windows xp 32 bit mode. I believe you will see more and more professionals demand 64bit compatibility for all their software.

I understand what you mean though. One nice thing about the TI, is it offloads a lot of processing. But even my UAD-1 powered plugins card from Universal Audio has 64 bit drivers.

At the same time, I'm willing to give Access all the slack they need. VC is a great piece of software that goes with a great piece of hardware. Converting the drivers to a 64 bit platform will take time and resources on their part, undoubtedly.

What benefit? Are you kidding?! The benefit is that you could use it. Without 64-bit drivers, you can not use the "TI" of the Virus on a 64-bit OS. period.

And you're going to have to do some reading if you don't understand the benefits of a 64-bit OS. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it worthless. And you are confusing 64-bit audio processing with 64-bit computing, and 64-bit drivers with 64-bit sampler software, and the Virus Control with the Virus TI drivers.

In my case 64-bit is an absolute nessecity. (dealing with huge orchestral templates of about 20 GB of samples in RAM.) That is impossible with a 32-bit OS. Therefore, I am unable to use the Virus TI in my film score projects.

We need 64-bit drivers for the Virus TI... c'mon Access! What is the problem here?

[absynth]

thats exactly what i was saying, your using a sampler you need 64 bit os to use more memory

but why should a company like access care about that you are using a sampler? just think about it

[DNME]

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.
