Until that epic moment that Live offers 64bit...Vienna Ensemble is an alternative you won't regret.

We are now, "bashing dead horses." What, was it not good enough, just to beat them?
I believe it's 'flogging', or was that the 32-bit version?

Vienna Ensemble for your plugins people. While 64bit will fix some memory issues, you're cpu will still suffer. Here's a clip from my article:
For those who don't know, Vienna Ensemble Pro is a plugin hosting software that works miracles when you want to run lots of CPU intensive plugins without slowing your DAW down. Your DAW is going to be your master sequencer for 95% of users. While its doing that, it should not be distracted with your plugin processing, except maybe for the master track and a some send FX. Vienna works as a light weight plugin in your daw pulling audio from your heavy weight plugins who's CPU processing is now independent. What does this mean?? Read on!

When plugins run side your DAW, they take part in its 'global' CPU limit set in the preferences. This means your plugins run at a fraction of their potential (your wasting all that good Dual/Quad CPU GHz you paid for). BUT if you run them in VE Pro, they burn rubber! TEST: Try running as little as 5 instances of Ominsphere with all 8 midi and audio channels playing different patches on separate tracks simultaneously. This will CRUNCH your DAW (i'm sure of it). Doing the same in VE Pro has NO affect on DAW. Sounds too good to be true? Almost..VE Pro costs €235.
This lets you run 32bit AND 64bit plugins outside your DAW while streaming the audio in! (freeing up Live's memory)

remember though, you are offering a practical solution that requires effort on the part of the end user. for the most part, they don't want that. they want to click the Run button or the Install button and have everything happen automagically. these are the same people who want it because "they" have it... who ever some other "they" might happen to be, Avid, Steinberg, etc, etc.

in fact, i'd go so far as to say that these are many of the same type of people who get busted at their day job for something lame like taking too many personal calls, and then immediately rat out some co-worker because "they" get to do it - as if management is going to be more understanding if the problem is wide spread. :roll:

good on you for trying though.

The best part about it is the total recall feature. Simply launch VE Pro before you load your Live session, it opens all the plugins the same way you left it. I've never turned back.

I didn't realize there were any options for mac users. Thanks for sharing.
So does the mac version of jbridge work? And for Live Suite owners it would still be much better to have a 64 bit Live.
Gonna check those two mac options out now. Too bad there's no 235€ on my account waiting to be spent on VE pro.
