It's funny, I feel like with all the people acting like psychos towards ableton about this, they definitely should have waited bust it out on live 9, and make some cash on it.
Instead, its free. Very cool, and extremely unexpected.
Now everyone gets to have aneurysms regarding the implications.
I'll go back to sticking with my 32bit, where I know everything works totally sweet.
I thought that was odd too. I guess they are showing some loyalty to it's users.

I have both versions of Studio One since their 64 bit version will not open 32 bit plugins.

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

In fact their bit bridge is better than J-bridge.

^^ I never tested JBridge, the Reaper bridge works perfect.

sounds like a Performance Test thread is in order. 8.3.2 32 bit vs 64 bit.

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!
Now this is interesting. I was under the impression there wouldn't be any performance improvements by going to 64 bit except for max ram allocation.
Maybe there's been other changes going on as well.

maybe someone from Ableton can comment if there is a plan for a built-in bridge for 32bit plugs ?
if not.. then it's not really free.. some of us will have to get Jbridge..
also... a timeline as to when exactly do video and m4l come into the picture..
some info would be really nice..

Any word that 32bit plugins will be supported in Live 64bit? Or is that not possible?
I've read about jbridge, but couldn't the abes built something like that in from the start?

Just FYI.. I'm using Jbridge beta for osx (latest version) with Presonus S1.. As far as I know, it works great. Most of my plugs are already 64 bit except for a handful like soundtoys, and a couple more.. so yeah, all my 32 bit works in S1 DAW 64 bit.. I have NOT tried it in the latest 8.4 beta..
OSX 10.6.8

Yeah its a bolt out of the blue,announcing 64bit support,a very welcome surprise
As of now,I had to convert, Reason 6.5 to 32bit to make rewire work with Ableton,such a nuisance.
So having Ableton as 64 bit support and Rewire too,will make rewire so much easier and make the two softwares even more useful and powerful

Seriously to all the people asking for 32bit bridge inside Ableton.
EAT A
D I C K
I think it's time for plugin manufacturers to move to 64bit, I hope Ableton and Logic force everyone to go 64bit only and force everyone to go 64bit
Or die a slow and horrible developer death
