64bit DAWs Headache.

[Moosedrool]

I'm posting this here cause the software section is a tad diverse from digital audio workstation environments.

Reason for this is the numerous people coming to me after purchasing the 64bit edition of Ableton live 9 without doing proper research on its compatibility with their add ins and whatnot.

So it looks like FL studio is also now in the 64bit domain giving a major boost in performance especially considering the ram usage opening up. It is awesome, fast and basically the future of Audio engineering.

But... The plugins you used in your 32 bit DAW previously Will Not Work! This is the reason why audio software was so slow to enter this realm in the first place. Today with technologies such as max for live and some newer 64bit VST and AU plugins it is safe to say more doors are opening than closing. But for those tranquil producers stuck on using sylenth1 or zeta+ etc... You will need to either move on or find a way to make those 64bit compatible before being able to use it in a 64bit DAW.

So stop bitching.

I am using 64 bit Sonar X2 with all my 32 bit plugins using Bitbridge. Working like a charm.

I've yet to come across a 32 bit plugin that 64 bit Reaper cannot bridge without a hitch.

Oh didn't even think of that, thanks for the headsup. very happy with the stock, plugins in FL Studio though, think I won't start exploring other for a while.
