Ableton 64bit

Neurojazz

Hey guys, just in case you don't know.

Ableton have a 64bit beta running - details here:-

http://www.ableton.com/downloads/live-8-beta

You'll need JBridge (about 15 Euros) to enable the 32bit Plugins to operate in the 64bit DAW. JBridge is solid & simple to get running and well supported.

Will 32bit plugins not work with a 64bit ableton?

There's a program called JBridge that will allow you to use 32bit plugins in the new 64bit environment. It's well supported, and one victim so far is the UAD-1 card - not found anything else or seen many other reports of problems.

Been using the beta with no problems!

Hey Neurojazz, have you noticed significant drop in CPU usage using 64-bit version? Any other advantages to using it? I've got the Live 9 beta and loving it.

There are quite a few advantages:-

64bit can address much more ram (compared to 32bit only using around 3.4gigs max)

If you have a CPU that has virtual cores then the 64bit client can use those also - So an i7 would yield 8 cores in some cases and 12 with the newer hexacores.

Hey, I've purchased jBridge earlier today and it's working flawlessly with Ableton Live 9 but is there any way I can remove the water mark below the plugins? It has my name and email address there.... Cheers.

Probably contact the dude at jbridge (he might be able to change it) - but you will need access to that bar occasionally as hiccups can occur

He's very helpful (but can imagine he might be pretty busy at the moment with the new customers

I only lost access to one 32-bit vst when i installed the beta build so that was handy.
