<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Yeah, with live its not the memory I've noticed to be the problem but the CPU load which even with a pretty decent spec i7 can stack up quite quickly.<BR> <BR>On another note the few changes in 9.5 that I've noticed have been pretty cool, a couple of extra buttons (legato and dupl loop) in the midi note editor pane so far have been very handy and help speed things up.<BR> <BR>Would like to get my hands on link now and see where I can use it best to give me multiple control surfaces, something I've been missing since going from a midi controller and keyboards / sound boxes to the current all in one PC approach.<br> <BR><div>Subject: Re: Live 9.5 - 64bit?<br>From: ibisum@gmail.com<br>Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 10:45:58 +0100<br>To: music-bar@lists.music-bar.org<br><br><pre>> <br>> 3.5 GB. That's the maximum amount of memory you can use on a 32-bits (Windows) system. Which is why any self-respecting system runs 64-bits these days.<br>> - Peter<br> <br>Maximum RAM upper address limit on Linux 32-bit is 64GB, if you’ve got PAE enabled (36-bits of address space). Max-per-process is still 4GB with PAE, though.<br> <br>Its not therefore a case of 64-bit being ‘better than 32-bit’, its a matter of whether the application warrants the large-number scenario. Like, really large numbers. Sure, 64-bit OS’s have other advantages: larger word-sizes mean incremental changes to existing code-base can be ‘wrapped’ with new bolt-on features, but for the most part the 64-bit address spaces are ‘big-number’ territories. If you switch to 64-bit, expect your filesystem requirements to also have an exponential flip or two. 64-bit apps can create big files fast..<br> <br>My opinion: For Audio, 32-bit is fine. Its just fine. Even if I didn’t already use an OS that made the whole addressable-memory space question moot, I’d be quite happy with 4gigs of RAM for AudioAppBlah to do its thing. Thats a lot of data.<br> <br>However, there is a social factor: the companies are all ‘moving to 64-bit’ in lock-step with all the other players in that eco-system. It doesn’t make a lot of sense that we just rampantly do it as consumers, though .. its not really us that need it.<br> <br>;<br>--<br>Jay Vaughan<br>ibisum@gmail.com<br></pre><br>_______________________________________________
