Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: Is 64 bit Logic really something I need?

2010-01-31 by Steve Currington

Hi Marcrease 
9.0.2 is not the full 64bit version and so teh toggle option does not show.
Get the more recent one   - 9.1..   A simple standard Mac software update will find the right version and automatically do the update (if you already have Logic v9.x).
Also for example check the plugin's  
I find that the 32bit bridge (for 32 bit plugins)  when running 64bit login is a little annoying but it seems to work but some plugins and instruments are upgradable to 64bit. 

For example. Spectrasonics Stylus RMX v1.9e I think it was updated Stylus to 64bit which is definitely worth the free update.  (Omnisphere and Trillian 64Bit is currently only Public Beta but the free update is due out within the month)
Or for another example EastWest's "Play" engine is now 64Bit so that is also cool if you use any of their orchestra etc products such as EWQL Gold etc.
You just need to check each plugin and instrument.   Apples "built in" ones are mostly just fine..  

Steve
