I don't know about trashing databases or preferences in this case, I rarely do it except if I experienced too much troubles. But of course, it often solves many issues too.
Thing is Play 4 opens in 64 bit mode in standalone in Mountain Lion, at least it does on my system. What you're saying makes no sense at all - standalone mode has nothing to do with working inside PT in aax mode. There's no need to open first in standalone to make it work in a daw.

Trashing preferences and databases is a big help when things are going wacky.

10-4 I missed the part about Pro Tools 10.3.7. I was thinking you were doing this in Pro Tools 11HD.

Most applications can run in 32 bit mode in a 64bits OS. I wrote above how to do this with Play.

Well, maybe this is no sense to you, but it helps me sort some pb out.

And as I told above, there might be a pb with 10.3.6 that doesn't exist anymore with 10.3.7 (so you didn't get it). This pb was solved with launching play4 Standalone in 32 bits mode (I posted this for users who could experience this bug).

Of course.

while most application can run in 32 bit mode in a 64 bits operating system it will not eliminate the memory addressing issues that entails with using a 32 bit code. Meaning that you are left with only 4 gig of ram accessible by that 32 bit software. With VI'S especially heavy ones like EW, it's a big concern and a true problem. Which is why 64 bit was essential.

And it doesn't for me either. Most of the time when you are using the stand alone version of any of the insruments, it's actually a vst version of that VI that is being used (to my knowledge). That would make it incompatible to work with pro tools. Now you could, if the option was provided, rewire it so the output of that VI could be routed back into pro tools, but if your VI is 32 bit, it's limiting itself to a 4GB ram addressing. Not very useful.

Of course.
With the most recent version of Play 4, the reverb bug has been fixed. Get that one.

Guys, I am sorry if I am not clear but I don't talk about reverb bug anymore, nor 32bits vs 64bits in my last posts (or re-read them because this discussion will lead to nowhere). I didn't say use 32bits mode instead of 64bits. I only said launch Play standalone in 64bits (AND in 32 bits mode if you still use PT10) ONCE before using Play as a plugin (it is an advice, I don't force anyone ).

If you don't experience any issues with the last Play4 release, just skip my posts.

Thank you.

Once again you're missing something here - Play 4 standalone in OSX Mountain Lion runs in 64 bit mode - you don't have the option of running it in 32 bit mode. And launching it in standalone (to allow it to run in 32 bit mode in PT10 for example) does nothing to allow it to run in any daw - the two things are separate bits of code modules.

Why are you still arguing about all of this ? I posted for people who could experience the same issues I get. If you don't (and don't trust my words), just forget it.

I keep posting about it because you're saying things that make no sense. Running Play 4 in standalone has nothing to do with running it in a daw - you keep saying that it does and I'm saying it doesn't. I'm not negating your issues, just the bad info you're putting out there about how to supposedly solve those issues.

hello guys

i had the eastwest support telling me play 6 would work fine with pro tools 11 to be able to use pop brass & hollywood horns but pro tools tells me cannot find authorization to run play.

i emailed them but no reply so far

any clues ?


PS according to easwest pop brass only works with play in 64bits mode - i read somewhere in the duc someone had this solved running previous version of play but, i cannot find any links to download play 5

Jeez - yet another post in another forum here on the same problem? There's one in the PT10 subforum and another in the PT12 subforum. That makes at least three so far. Not cool. Against the TOS. Of the three this thread would have been the best to post in even though it's a seven year old thread. Or even better start a new thread as camping isn't cool.
