try loading a bass patch from trillian, piano from east/west, strings from east/west, horns/woodwinds from kontakt powered libraries, synth from omnisphere, etc...
if you look at fl studio 10... their first new feature in the advertisement is that 64 bit bridge... in the demo video... they used Kontakt to show that feature...
64 bit is now...
However Kontakt, Trillian and Omnisphere at least have memory servers on the mac so you don't have to load all that ram through your host. But that's mac only I believe (at least for spectrasonics). It really is impossible on a PC to play some sample instruments in Live. Even with a memory server, it only takes about 2gb ram to start causing problems in Live. You simply can't make big sets plug-ins that use a lot of ram to load like Omnisphere (240 for first instance, 140 every instance after that).
But this is the thing. Sure people have always made music with less. But there have never in history been the kind of detailed sample instruments available now like some of the stand up basses in Trilian for example. But these can only really be used properly within a host that allows for enough ram that it doesn't kill your system.
The fact is most are going to 64 bit now or already are. Personally I think Ableton need to do this before Live 9 unless Live 9 is right around the corner. It would be a lot more useful than a 64 bit audio engine is!!! I'd gladly go back to 32 bit audio for 64 bit memory management.
+1
ffs. I cannot believe there are actually folks who seem to almost arguing AGAINST 64bit. Or, at the very least, have no clue as to why it's vital and thus think there's no rush, lol.
Question: Why did Logic and FL go 64bit?
