Or as Madlib once said, 'If you don't bear, it don't matter. Many veterans caution aspiring beat makers against fetishizing gear and promote a philosophy of getting the job done regardless of what tools you have access to. Traditionally, to do what we're now becoming able to do now with 64bit apps people would chain together multiple computers to do.The study of producers and their chosen DAW, equipment, and studio setup is a tricky one to navigate. I think the need for 64bit hosts and plug-ins coincides with people now using large libraries and their DAW moving to 64bit.

True, people get by with 32bit fine and have for years. It's hard to tell what the limitations will equate to on any given system. Even then, plug-ins with libraries may differ drastically still depending on if it's using disk streaming or loading completely in RAM, using something like the Kontakt Memory server or VEPro server and so on.Īlso, disk speed, splitting up tasks over many disks versus using a single disk for everything can effect things like track count, especially when it comes to how many audio tracks you can run. Plug-ins are usually CPU intensive as opposed to RAM intensive but some plug-ins, namely instruments, may easily fill up the RAM if you're running something using samples. It also depends on the types of plug-ins. For example, if a person only has 4GB total in their system then that's actually more like 2GB usable by Logic since modern 64bit OSes will require at least half of the 4GB for itself.

How it affects Logic will depend on many variables. This is not the case with 32bit versions of the OSes though, which can only access 4GB period and will use some of it for itself regardless of the limitations of the app. This will make things more efficient still because that unused RAM can still be used to carry the load of the OS and other apps outside of the 32bit app. However, 64bit versions of either OS will be able to access more than the 4GB that the 32bit app is limited to, for other things.
