Re: Pro Tools 8 (64bit)
Well...
64-bit... It depends. First, you have a 64-bit OS that *permits* some flexabilities that *we* could really use. Would coding PT (the app itself) from 32-bit to 64-bit provide a boost in some manner? Within the larger/full picture.. yes, if done "properly." So much is interdependent. We have OS's that are not properly utilizing multi-core/multi-cpu systems for non-server duties. The hardware was not initially intended for it, and thus we are now amidst a game of "catch up and sync." (pun intended btw ). Add in 3rd party products.. with no manner of proper verification that said developments are capable of not causing issues (directly and/or indirectly).. and 64-bit simply adds yet more paths in the journey of troubleshooting a journey of, "I would like my app to do.. THIS" to "Wow! This combination of hardware and software operates as I desire, expect, and *should*." First, we need 64-bit hardware drivers to allow the hardware to operate with the 64-bit OS. Cubase offers 32- and 64- bit versions, and running the 32-bit version with a 64-bit Windows OS can be.. gratifying Add in J-Bridge and other bits of usefulness, and the benefits of the memory allowances of 64-bit become... nirvana. Some run 64-bit C5 with J-Bridge for using their 32-bit plugs, and/or other apps for various reasons, and one can come close to running pretty powerful full orchestral mock-ups.. on a SINGLE 64-bit OS run system. Everything has pros and cons. None of those matter without choice tho. My choice will be to have W7x64 as my primary audio DAWquencer composing, recording and mixing platform. I will be choosing what to use within that environment very carefully.

Re: Pro Tools 8 (64bit)
Yes you can INSTALL more than 3 gigs, but does the OS, or the program for that matter, actually RECOGNIZE it? Hence the request for TRUE 64-bit support.....

Re: Pro Tools 8 (64bit)
I'd say that's about right. But, with the exponential increase in processing power from 64 bit, HD / farm cards will quite literally be unnecessary for even the gnarliest Hanz Zimmer session... and then how could Digidesign justify the price of an HD system?

Re: Pro Tools 8 (64bit)
Only about six weeks ago I was partly instrumental in convincing a few of the unhappy studios locally to stay with PT until January, The upheaval to another DAW will be a very disruptive undertaking and I'm not looking forward to it.
If Avid doesn't present some things that have been asked for over the years, I question whether or not the loyalty will continue. This is not a question of the HD prisoners running off in droves. For the most part they have already invested heavily in mostly working systems. But who these days is going to buy a new HD7 just to almost keep up with Logic or Reaper or even Native PT. The 5-7 year prediction by my friend Shane (IMHO) could render this company "gone" unless the new kiddy PT can support it all. I done think even the corporate bean counters are assuming that it will. I believe we will see something by years end, or we will really see something by years end. But i have to admit, when it comes to this company I've been wrong more than right when trying to support them.
