Subject: [Logic_Cafe] Does anybody else have to do this

 
I've only had to do this on a couple of occasions, but I often need to 
switch between 32bit and 64bit depending on the plugins I'm using.

Is there any easy way to toggle between the two load types?

Like a script or something. I tried assigning aliases to different 
formats but that didn't work.

Or what is the scripting language for OSX, there must be an easy way to 
do this.

Cheers...

  You could use the 'arch' command to run it in the selected config. Open the Applescript editor (in Applications/Utilities). Assuming you have Logic installed in the default location, put this in a script for 32-bit:

  do shell script "arch -i386 '/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro'"

  and make another script for 64-bit:

  do shell script "arch -x86_64 '/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro'"

  Next, click the Run button to see if this works. If so, click Save As, select File Format: Application, and save as Logic32.app or Logic64.app.

  By the way, what plugins cause you to switch from 64 to 32 bit? Doesn't the 32-bit plugin bridge in 64-bit mode help?

  Kind regards,
  Ben



  

Dunno an answer to the questiosn but re 32bit/64bit and the 32bit bridge....  Actually I find the bridge a yucky solution..  Although most of the time it works.

For me the bridge doesn't always work for some things.. 
Some things don't use the bridge for example there are no drivers for the M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 keyboard that enables the Hypercontrol feature to work in 64bit logic.   Works fab in 32 bit node.

Also from memory from a breif test I did of Celemony Melodyne Editor (wih DNA) doesn't show up in the plugins list in 64Bit mode   It only shows up in 32Bit Mode..  Might be wrong about this as it has been a few weeks since I tried the product out.
