00, I am into similar issues. I could only complete two measures of a track at a time when in 32-bit. Than bounce to clips, Sonar's terminology to convert MIDI to Audio thus freeing up the Ram, then do another two measures. Not fun! With 64-bit I also can do a complete song with no problems.

Heavy MIDI users with excellent softsynth sound sources NEED 64 bit software and I think that is the dividing line between 32 and 64 bitters. If you use RTs or RTs with a couple of inexpensive softsynths like ST2 then 32 bits are fine. But for people like us 32 bit does not work.

The jBridge work around may work for some but not stable enough for me. I have had many crashes with it. I quit trying to use it because like I said previously I do most of my work in Sonar.

Funny that you should mention NIs B3. One of the few 32 bit softsynths is NI's B3II, the best Hammond B3 emulator ever IMO.


Agreed its not a proper solution. I have only two copies of NeoSOulKeys loaded in a simple 8 bar loop. My buffer has been racked up to 256 (usually 64) and I am getting pops and clicks. NeoSoulKeys doesnt use samples and is not a heavyweight VST as far as I can guess.

There is no more room for sliding around back alleys with quick fixes that work a bit sometimes, its a rewrite that's needed in 64 bit. IMO. The program is a gem and I hate to see it rot on the vine.
