Can you say "Logic 64 bit" - no? Neither can Apple, hows it working out with such little RAM for DAW use guys? :lol:

Post

Little RAM? My Mac Pro supports up to 32GB of RAM. When I got it a couple years ago I only installed an extra 4GB, which brought it to a total of 5GB. I've never felt like I needed any more. If I ever do feel like I need more I'm sure Logic will be 64 bit compatible by then and will support more than 4GB.

I understand things are different on Windows because you need all that extra RAM for unknown tasks that are running in the background.

Wow - 32GB of RAM and not a DAW to use it on - pretty sad for a computer which is so expensive. Apple have no intention of giving you 64 bit Logic.

No intention? Why is Snow Leopard 64 bit compatible already then?

So you can taste 64 bit without using it, they didnt think anyone using a Mac would notice they cant use all thier RAM :lol:

:roll: Regardless, until Apple updates Logic with 64 bit support as they did with Snow Leopard, one can always access more than 4GB outside of Logic by using the EXS24 sampler or Kontakt. Personally I don't see myself needing 64 bit support for a while.

If by Apple, you mean 'Logic', then, uh, sure, a huge generalization, but somewhat excusable. Otherwise, your sources are way off.

EDIT: Wait, you're posting in the developer forum, nm - not excusable :lol:

Apple make Logic, if you have a projected date for Logic 64 bit then go ahead and post. Its a fact that 64 bit on the PC for DAW is coming along, vsti are being ported, on the Mac - nothing happening on 64 bit for DAW.

I agree, this is after all a thread about plugins for OS X. Funny how all of the Mac hating trolls end up here...

If I wanted to I could be doing the same thing they're doing in this thread, but I just don't care because I consider it a joke.

*nothing*???..??

...this is simply false. If you won't educate yourself on the subject, I won't waste my time trying to.

It's in English, black on white and pretty clear about the licensee not having the right to distribute any derivative work in source code form. So anything deriving from AudioEffectX and what not can't be open sourced. I'll give it to my lawyer if you want clearance and if you want to pay for it.
Been there, done that, got the tshirt, the login, and the download.

If your lawyer really believes your interpretation of the English black on white words on the Steinberg site, perhaps you need to hire a lawyer who actually speaks English. Because that is not what it says.

Uh, yeah, whatever. :roll:
