PaulLawler Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 A friend is trying to get me to change to Ableton from Logic 8/9 as its already 64bit, but my question is ....is it as good as Logic ? I'm tired of running out of memory, the libraries are getting ever bigger and my work is becoming more and more restricted by Logics memory limitations. Will I be able to use all of my current libraries, apple loops etc ? thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarekith Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Live is not 64bit, at this point only Studio One is ready for 64bit, and that version has not been released yet. Parts of Live's summing engine operate at 64bit, but that's a completely different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulLawler Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 SO it would be a pointless transition then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 SO it would be a pointless transition then ? No, not pointless if Live's feature set and workflow, (very different from Logic's) supports your needs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulLawler Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 No I dont think it does, I'm used to working in a linear way. I just want a set-up that wont crash after I load 8 or 9 orchestral instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you may want to read up on is the ability for EXS, Kontakt 3.5, etc., and their ability to access memory space outside of Logic's application space.

Booda Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You can download Live from Ableton's website and try it for free for 14 days. See if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for EXS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1041 For Kontakt 3.5 and 4.0, from their update announcement: ". . . the newly-created Memory Server feature bypasses the OS X's 4 GB limit and can address as much RAM as you have installed - even in 32-bit hosts such as Logic or ProTools."

PaulLawler Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Wow thanks ! I really should read the manual one day Shame I cant import the East Weststuff into EXS24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Shame I cant import the East Weststuff into EXS24. Is it the Play Edition or something? I thought that had some kind of mem management. Anyway, if you start a new thread in the Control Room forum titled "Orchestral Samples and Memory" or something like that, you'll get some responses from folks who work with this stuff more than I do.

PaulLawler Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yes the play editions (just upgraded) but like you said i just found out they have a similar memory management, other than that I'm ordering Kontak 4 for the rest of my plug-ins when its out in a few weeks ! Great stuff ..you just made my day finding out this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
