I use 32 bit,I have no VST plugins ,only Ableton Live packs,and stock sounds.
But I do use Reason via rewire to Live.
This gives me good stability,and as I got 4Gb of RAM,this is the best option for me

32 bit for now, have NI Komplete 8 plugins for 32/64 bit. Waiting on the rewire issue to be resolved so I can rewire live into Studio One V2 and see how that works/goes. I have Live 8.4 64 bit also installed (and 8.3.x, 8.2.x still).

32-bit and staying that way for as long as I can.
My system gets the job done and RAM usage has never been an issue.

This is kinda how I feel too! I've never had a lot of the problems I hear people discussing here. My system works quite well.COOLOUT wrote:32-bit and staying that way for as long as I can.

I guess I'm just sub-consciously looking for some reason to switch to 64-bit. Like, some miraculous speed and work-flow enhancement.

I have way too many 3rd party plug-ins to even consider moving to 64bit. If I ran into one that didn't work I'd probably quit music, become a vegan, and move back in with my parents. It would be that tramatic.

You could have Live 8 or 9 32bit and 64bit installed side by side while you test your way into 64bit. Jbridge will allow most 32bit plugins to run in a 64bit DAW.

Had recurring "out of memory" crashes with Live 8 - too many to count. Installed Live 9 x64 and JBridge. Smooth sailing.

64 bit. Iffy as to whether its worth it because of .m4a file load issue.
