Anybody recording in 64bit?

Im thinking of making a big upgrade in the computer department. I want to make sure that i'll have enough system resources that the computer comfortably does stuff my current setup struggles with.

I think almost everyone has a 64bit computer now a days, whether or not they take advantage of it is another question. I was using Reaper 64 under Vista 64, so I could take full advantage of my available ram (which was nice) but almost all the plugins I used were not 64 bit compatible, so I ended up switching back to a 32 bit version....

Hopefully in the near future 64 bit will be standard, no more compatibility issues.

iirc, there was a wrapper floating around that let you use 32bit plugins in 64 bit daws, so you still have a 2gb cap but on individual plugins instead of on the entire daw

Yeah. Unfortunately the hardware is still way ahead of the software. For stability's sake I'd stay 32bit for now.

64 bit, 2822.4 kHz. My rig was made for me by a little man in India, none of you can have it, there's only one of it.

use jbridge, if you want to use all your RAM with 32bit plugins. (doesn't require a 32bit daw, just a 64bit OS).

thanks,

Sonar is 64bit and has been for quite some time now - I just recently built a 64 bit system (Vista 64 but looking to go to Windows 7 in a few weeks) and I'm running both versions till I'm sure everything I want will work.

Those wrappers have caused me nothing but issues... I hear they are getting better, but by the time they are bug free, most plug-ins will probably be 64bit anyway....

does pro tools even run on 64 bit operating systems? I though i read somewhere that it doesn't.

maybe PT8 does...

Not yet, although they've promised 32 and 64bit windows 7 support.
