I have set the Amplitube at 64 bits accordingly, but I did not come to the idea of installing both 64 and 32 and to install them in 2 different files (perverse!). You never stop to learn!



The problem we all face is digital audio work is not a normal use of your computer. There's a very small percentage of users that do this kind of thing. Since it's well outside of the norm, you do have to become a computer nerd in order to understand what needs to be done. I remember getting into this about 10 years ago and running into the same thing. I was just a casual PC user at home and of course used one at work too. My experience was very limited. Going into digital audio home studio recording was a nightmare for me at first. My comment was the same as everybody else's. "I just want to make some flippin music, not spend hours turning myself into a PC geek!!" Well, guess what, we do have to be PC geeks or we'll never get anywhere with this stuff.

Perverse is a good word for it. You have to do some basic reading about how most 32 bit applications work fine in a 64 bit OS yet 32 bit audio plugins will NOT work. We're in a transistion period right now between 32 and 64 bit. 64 bit has major advantages but not everything works with it as you've just discovered but it can be MADE to work with some tweaking from you. Welcome to the world of computer nerds. And, it's always been like this with digital audio (and home video editing too) and I doubt it's going to change.

We're the bottom feeders in the PC universe. There are few of us in the big picture and that makes us pretty much on our own with very little support from either Microsoft or the PC makers. It's all small independent companies like PG Music, IKM and digital interface makers who all have to try to make their stuff work in a hostile Windows environment that was not designed for this.

Forums like this one are the best places to learn from other users because the big companies don't give a rip about us.
