Default Re: PT 9 64 bit?

Just a guess here...

I don't think what we saw last night would have required the Pro Tools programmers balls-to-the-wall effort to implement.

I think Avid wanted to:
  • Get an "Avid" branded Pro Tools out there
  • Get something at least somewhat earthshaking out there for the AES show
  • Get an "exciting" product out there for the holiday shopping season
But I honestly don't think the PT9 that was released last night was Avid's end game for the product. I think it was the most Avid could cram in there before a certain date (AES show) without diverting too many programming resources from what will be the real "biggie", a 64-bit version.

And I think we'll see the 64-bit version before summer...

Just rockin'...what more is there?

Default Re: PT 9 64 bit?

I have HD2 with 16GB and 8 cores at 3.2GHz, and still get system crashes when it hits 3.2GB, and 30% of the time the playback stalls due to CPU load, when no core is beyond 30%. Is PT9 going to help this?

If there was an easy path out to something as good as PT _was_ I would take it. I had no problems until RTAS arrived.
Reaper is a cheapo DAW, yet for 32 bit in a 64 bit system, it allows you to set up plugins in separate CPU processes, with their own RAM. So you can use as much RAM as you like, dedicate a process to Kontakt, etc

Is that too hard? I think Reaper is less than $100, but they coded it easy enough
