I hope there'll be a 32 bit bridge for 32 bit plugins, but i doubt it:

"Later this year, Ableton Live will only be available in a 64-bit version. But what does that mean for you?"
-It means they've inadvertently slipped out the fact that we're getting Ableton Live 10 this year !!! (erm, maybe!)

What I got from the article is there will be no more updates for 32 bit Live, and no 32bit bridge. I think it was inevitable after they dropped support for XP in 2014. That was when I went 64bit, and Live stopped crashing (mostly). Hopefully it'll speed up development.

If you're steadfast about using 32 bit only plugins, just buy a bridge
It's not like 64 bit has just crept up on us

If live was $200 software it's fine. But it is not. So people wont forgive the laziness. We are just asking ableton bridge. How about "Buy push to get free bridge!"? Is it enough to motivate ableton CEO?

It's lazy for plugin developers not to adopt 64 bit, not the other way round. There has to be a balance between focusing on the future and spending development dollars supporting the past. If the customer wants to support the past, then let them spend their dollars on a bridge.tooneba wrote:If live was $200 software it's fine. But it is not. So people wont forgive the laziness.

Ok call developer who gave away their time to develop a free plugin lazy. Its a matter of taste. Or ableton can pay them to code 64bit ver. How about that?tehlord wrote:It's lazy for plugin developers not to adopt 64 bit, not the other way round.

this is inevitable, Apple already announced the next version of macOS will be 64 bit only . (iOS already is), and Microsoft will do the same before too long. Cubase did the same already - no?
32 bit is basically dead, no reason to support it, there are workarounds/bridges.
let the Ableton developers focus on what 3rd parties cannot do, which is develop the DAW.
