Okay fam, I just read a very interesting article in July's 07 SOS (Sound On
Sound -What The Devlopers Think) about the state of MS Vista AND is it time
for (Them DAW manufactuers) to go 64 bit.

Well, the article featured most of the heavey hitters in the industry (RME,
M-Audio, Native Instruments, Steingberg, Cakewalk, Lynx .

As far as 64 bit in the DAW most , except Cakewalk, feels that it's not needed.
But, you get the feeling that they say this because of the work involved.
Secondly, They're not impreesed(except Cakewalk) with Microsoft's new built-in
audio hooks (WaveRT).. RME stated thay would stay with ASIO, and Not Adopt
the Vista standard..

OK. Rant:
When Apple completly re-coded their OS witha NEW Audio engine standard AUDIO-Units.
At that time, ASIO, WMD & MAS where the NAtive standards, but Apple went
their own way. So what did the Developers do...They started coding their
apps, plugins, audio interfaces with Auduo-Unit drivers.

Now, that Microsoft is proposing the same thing, these very same companies
are balking. Why? Even with Lower latency and less pull on the CPU,like Apple's
Audio Unit design, their balking.

Next point:
To all of those who state the only useful purpose for 64 bit is to break
the 4 gig memory limitation (for Samplers) in Bull!

The problem is that the DAWS are all using 32 bit coding. #2 bit apps on
a 64 bit os and processor will only get you marginal gains...But, A True
64 DAW/App using a 64 bit CPU,64 bit plugins
we we see astouding gains in performance.

I'll stop now. But, we need to let the manufacturers know (what they already
know) and that is the Windows train is moving and even if Vista is not the
OS, the Next version will be the right one and it will be 64 bit.. Companies
like RME & Steinbergs will get left behind if they don't start moving in
that 64 bit direction).

To may of us have Pre-Invested in 64 bit CPUs with the promise of 64 bit
processing. Apple will be there soon with OS-x 64 with a newly re-wriiten
version of Logic (64 bit). Digi and Motu will be on the 64 bit train as well..Chooo
chooooc choo...
