On the one hand, developers could further develop the 32 bit plugins and offer them in the newer 64 bit format.

If you are not a Bitwig user but maybe a Ableton users, there are two possible solutions that can help here. One exception per example is here Bitwig Studio from Berlin that support 32 & 64 bit plugins. Many DAW’s doesn’t have build-in bridges and producers can’t anymore use older plugins. Many producers don’t want to miss their great 32 bit plugins in their 64 bit only DAW environment. Less development time, fewer beta phases, they can focus on a modern architecture and make the most of the resources they have.Įven though 64 bit is becoming the new standard, there is a problem for many musicians. That certainly has many advantages for the companies. In a time where most musicians have very powerful computers in their home or professional studios, it’s for me a logical and understandable decision from the developers. The latest example is Ableton, which has announced last month that they will continue to develop Live 9 only in 64 bit in the future. Many software company publish currently only 64 bit plugins and decide to stop the development of existing 32 bit software.

In addition to better and better sounding plugins with top notch innovative technologies, the main plugin standard for music software for the last years shifts from 32 bit to 64 bit architectures. If you use your setup for a few years now and have changed almost nothing, you will surely notice something that happen in today’s computer-based music environment. Connect a MIDI keyboard, open your favourite DAW, launch your favourite instrument plugin and you are ready for making music. We live in a time where you can just make music anywhere on the computer (PC, Mac & Linux).
