I am using Ableton and I have issues because it obviously does not see any 64bit vst/i(s). Does anyone know an alternative to Jbrigde...I know it is cheap already but I am on a really tight budget at the moment.

Thanks

Live 9 will have 64bit support in the next big update, probably isn't going to happen til sept time or later I reckon.

Your reckoning based on anything?

No, purely a gut feeling. There is a thread on the Ableton website somewhere. Bitwig will probably come out first, make us live users deeply jealous, then Ableton might pull their finger out and do something about Live 9 before we all leave Live.

Yeah I know...sucks because I want something for the summer. Just got out of college for the summer so I want to spend some time in music produciton. I am just really getting sick of the 64 and 32bit issues. Maybe I will have to find the money for it at some point.

I don't understand the benefits of using JBridge? 32bit is good for 2-3 gigs on most daws isn't it? Unless you're using tons of samples i'd have thought you'll struggle to go over that?

I always get smashed against the CPU/ram ceiling. I always get 80% there and then totally shit it. That's on a 4gig 2.66ghz quad core. Every real project I do.

I've run into cpu problems but never a ram problem. That's on 32bit cubase, i7 4.5ghz and 8gb of ram. Saying that, cubase doesn't let you load audio into ram like ableton does, which is annoying as i've also had the hard drive maxing out when i've had a load of audio tracks playing.

What are you guys using to fill up 4gb of ram?

I'm on flstudio where audio is in ram, but really it is plugins that are eating ram. Like 20 pro-q's, 20 pro-c's, minimum, ram starts getting eaten up.
