I use only 64bit now and is really the native format.

I use jbridge and whilist works well I much prefer 64bit native.

Only plugins Im waiting for 64bit support but work fine with jbridge :

Variety of sound (although I have now purchased licenses these are becoming retired but much loved)
Soundtoys (works great with jBridge)
Kushaudio ubk1 and clariphonic
Waldorf PPG3 (not expecting this to go 64bit again bridges nicely)
Korg legacy collection (forum rumours of 64bit in the pipeline despite previous announcments - brilliant)
Eventide and I am not buying anymore of there's until 64bit is released.

Cubase 7x64 Win7x64

Uhm... the first x64 consumer Windows came out in 2003.
It was a cut-down Server version.

That's a decade of x64 for Windows.
To think that some developers still don't deem it necessary to follow... :shrug:
Reaper user? Get my free JSFX plug-ins, also available via ReaPack extension.

Kinda surprised by the results... I didn't think it mattered that much to so many.

It doesn't to me... I'm not saying it never will, but I have never yet reached the limits of 32 bit.

There's now a public beta of UBK-1 64-bit, if you didn't know already.

The biggest advantage of 64-bit for music production is that it overcomes the 4-GB RAM limitation of 32-bit OS's. This is important for people who use many/large sample libraries, which can eat up 4 GB or more of RAM very quickly.

This pretty much sums up the why, media composers need 64bit ...and there are a lot of composers about these days & others working with large sample libraries.


Not everyone uses Reaktor drones & a few synths + some vengeance kick drums to make there tracks lol. :x


cheers.

Here I am:

- I run my daw (Logic) at 64 bit, so plugins need to be 64 bit compatible.
- I still run some 32 bit plugins which I already own, but only if I really need them.
- I won't add to my daw any new software (either commercial or freeware) that has no 64 bit support, as I want to minimize the 32 bit legacy I'll have to deal with (it's realistic to think there will be a day when 32 bit support will be dropped).

I really could care less. Whatever works on both my under-powered and regular computers is fine by me. :) :)

I only use 64bit plug-ins.Not very keen on bridging.
I wonder if the developers that haven't gone 64bit yet are losing trade?
