Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
I really want to use Melodyne within Ableton 9. I tried installing it on my Imac, but Live 9 is only tested and supported for the 64-bit version, as their website states (their info below). I tried anyway on my 2008 IMAC, 4G Ram, Live9 32-bit, and got this error message:
"Some plug-ins could not be loaded and are disabled. VST "Melodyne" The VST Plug-in could not be found."
I'm considering uninstalling and loading the 64-bit version. Does that make sense?
I could do the same on my windows 7 laptop if that was a better idea, it at least has 6 gigs or Ram so might be able to use 64-bit.
Thanks, Moosebear
From Melodyne's website:
Ableton Live
The current version of the singletrack family (i.e. Melodyne editor, assistant and essential) is tested and supported by us in the following constellations:
Live 9.01 (64-bit) on Windows 7/8 or Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.3 on Intel Macs (no G5 support anymore)
Live 8.2.8 (32-bit) on Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6.8, 10.7.4, 10.8.3 on Intel Macs (no G5 support anymore)
If your personal Live configuration differs from what we have tested, we encourage you to test Melodyne editor for 30 days free of charge. If Melodyne performs well on your system during the test period, it will still do so after you purchased it

Re: Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
Any help to the NOOB greatly appreciated!
I don't WANT to uninstall and install, but if it's the only way... I really do need Melodyne.
I heard back from Melodyne support:
"thanks for your mail. We recommend using a 64 bit host whenever possible. On a Mac I would also recommend using AU as the plugin platform."
So I guess this would imply I should just do it, uninstall 32-bit and install 64? And... where do I select AU as the plugin platform? Is that an installation option?
Thanks for any help.

There's no need to change. You can download a software called jBridge that allows you to create a 32 bit version of your 64 bit plugins or vice versa. I did it with Sylenth1 and a couple other plugins and it works perfectly. And being really cheap is definitely a plus. Hope that helps!

Great suggestion about JBridge, thanks Mirthan.
I'm trying to keep the hard drive of my IMAC as clean as possible, but that would be one way to try...
Tone61, thanks for your suggestion:
"Don't you think it's possible to have both 32- and 64bit versions installed at the same time?
At least I have Live8 for both 32 and 64bit and then 64bit Live9 as well.
ps. do you have any reason NOT to install 64bit Live???"
Just what I said above, I'm trying to maintain my install clean and simple... But if the 64 bit route works, I guess I could... uninstall the 32 bit one afterwards. I'd really just rather run one version of live.

Re: Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
i had a bunch of issues getting melodyne authorized on my 64 bit (windows) machine, which had nothing to do with the 'bitness'. but eventually it worked (was related to DEP), and i can use it either 32 or 64 bit, no problem. whatever your problem is, i doubt it's related to 32/64 bits....
Re: Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
Thanks Theophilus, that's exactly the kind of experience I was hoping someone would share before I start madly removing and re-installing different versions of Ableton on my machine. Do you know specifically how your problem was overcome? (I also have a windows 7 64-bit machine I may try Melodyne on)theophilus wrote:whatever your problem is, i doubt it's related to 32/64 bits....
Was there a way to disable DEP? (I had to look up what that was, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention)
Re: Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
I'm using Melodyne with Live 32 bit - No problem at all!!
I'm on a Mac if that makes any difference

in windows, you can disable DEP for some 32 bit applications. you can't for 64 bit applications, but in my case, the melodyne activation assistant (which is a 32 bit application) would hang if i didn't disable DEP for it. (i also had this issue with Reaktor, btw). i don't know if there is an equivalent on the Mac, it doesn't look like there is any need for it with a quick web search.
Re: Should I uninstall 32-bit and install 64, just for Melodyne?
I keep both versions installed. I don't want to buy jbridge. Some DAWs load both. Studio One and Live are the two I have that don't.

Just for Melodyne? How about because...it's 64 bit man!
