I am curious to see if there is a noticeable difference between the two working in a DAW. Avantages, disadvantages?
64 bit allows you to access all of the RAM that your computer has available. With 32 bit, you are generally limited to 4 GB of RAM access.
If you are using RAM hungry software like LA Scoring Strings, Omnisphere, Altiverb, you can hit your RAM limit pretty quickly.
If you have a large template and you’re a running a lot of plug-ins
64 bit it essential.As small session for me is at least around 40 tracks, with plug-ns on every track. I would hit the wall in no time at 32 bit, even though I use two Mac Pros connected by VEPRO.
The only downside to going 64 bit is that your 32 bit plugs won’t work unless your DAW can handle both simultaneously.
I highly recommend VEPRO, because it hosts outside your DAW._Michael
Just started using 64 bit versions of Studio One and Live, Only recently have all the plugins I use been updated . I going to try live without VEPro for a while and see how it goes, it was essential for a 32 bit world as it hosted all my Kontakt instances in a 64 bit server when the DAW was 32 bit.
