If Live goes 64bit, will I lose the use of my 32bit plugins?

Hi there

Im wondering what the best set up would be to optimise performance with Live

Would it benefit to set up some smaller partitions on my 1TB internal drive ... 1 partition (perhaps 20gig) for VST's , and another partition (perhaps another 20gig or so) for compositions

Im thinking that maybe ...

Yea they do

Could this be a firewire bandwith thing?

How do I increase that? Is there any firewire cards you could recommend?

I currenty have both Saffire Pro and PowerCore going in to firewire ports on a card. Sometimes the powercore plugins disable on their own (?) and I was told this could be ...

Hi there

Im using Live 8.2.2 on Windows 7 64bit, and Ive recently purchased a Firewire TC PowerCore.

When I drag a powercore plugin on to a channel, I get the dreaded bluescreen of death :(

Has anyone had any experience of this,and know how to fix it?



my spec:

Hi there
I have recently purchased an SE Titan Mic (not sure this is the problem, but thought Id mention the model just incase), and I have it plugged in to the Line 1 input of my new FireWire Saffire Pro 40.

Really cool advice cheers

Out of interest, what is the spec of your custom PC?

What sound card are you using?

cheers mate

monitors and pre-amp.

whole budget spent.

thanks man, but surely without the ability to create music first there is no point listening to a spiking / latency ...

Hi all

In the past to create music I have always used a computer with software running and a midi keyboard, and thats more or less it.

My most recent set up is a PC running Ableton (of course?) but it is an old PC.


I want to refresh my studio setup, at the moment I have a PC which is around 8 ...

cheers guys, I feel bad for flying off the handle

Sorry neb, and everyone please forgive me!

Peace all
