This is what I love about Ableton! So many other companies out there make a huge deal out of the 64bit support and charge hundreds of dollars for the "upgrade" (Sonnox, Waves, etc.).

That's when Ableton has to give you the bad news:

"All 64-bit plug-ins can be used in the 64-bit version. 32-bit plug-ins cannot be used directly in the 64-bit version, but there are third-party tools (such as jBridge) that will allow 32-bit VST plug-ins to be used within the 64-bit version."

There is no jBridge-like solution for Mac, AFAIK.

this page seems to contain links for jbridge for OSX

Ooh, can I be first to say-

But I don't need 64 bit. I need this, that and the other. I can't work under these conditions, damn it.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Cycling'74 has already said that they're working on a 64-bit version. I'm guessing that the Live 8.4 beta means that there's a 64-bit version of Max on the way shortly.

Quick little side by side comparison of my drumRack in Live 64bit and Live 32bit

I'm using a 2.3 Ghz MPB, 4gigs of RAM 5200 rpm HD

I made a new Live set with only 1 midi track and added a drumRack
My drumRack has 8 cells each with a Sampler containing 10-60 or so samples, with and EQ8 rack including a sweepable filer and a compressor.
1 Instance of Valalla Room on a Return Chain in the rack
I used and identical midi clip to trigger all the cells

In Live 32bit CPU varies between 12 and 17 occasionally spiking 20
In Live 64bit CPU varies between 5 and 9 occasionally spiking 10

NICE RESULTS ABLETON!

Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

Awesome news...

Before I grab the beta, can anyone recommend a 32-bit vst bridging option for windows? Preferably one that's been tested with this release 64 bit release of live?

I have a lot of plugins that are only 32bit, or I've neglected to previously install the 64bit version, so if a decent bridge isn't available, it's kind of a catch-22.

jbridge is the most often recommended tool.

No 32bit support sounds like a really bad joke.

64bit support seems a good direction but i dont like to buy a 3rd party bridge tool for 32bit vsts. In Reaper there is no problem with 32bit plugins. It should be not problem for the Ableton peeps to develop a 32bit solution for Live.

cheers

Wow it actually happened.

Interesting that they released it in 8 rather than waiting for 9. I think that suggests that 9 is going to be a major revamp, bigger changes than just increased functionality.

Have to say it, I told you so

When I called about transferring things over to my new computer last year, I asked and was told they were already working on it, and it would be in Live 9, as an update for Live 9, or even as an update for Live 8. And here it is. Nice one Abes.
