gteles Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 There is available de new up for osx86... 10.5.5. And i read on the forum, that update is 64bits. So is logic get better performance with that update? I think that this topics should go STICKY. Regards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Logic is a 32bit application now, and OS X already has been able to run complete 64 bit processes since 10.5.0. In addition to this, you would need your plugins to be also 64bit. And even so, probably you won't get any significant speed boost in cpu usage. On the other hand, if you work with huge sample libraries 64 bits is a urgently needed feature. Btw...do you know your 8 gb ram are sitted doing nothing in your system at the moment? lol Logic 8.0.2 isn't able to adress more than about 3.2gb ram...in fact it doesn't work 100% stable once you pass the 2gb mark used in its own process.

gteles Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 About the 8 GB. I know that, should i sell 4 GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 About the 8 GB. I know that, should i sell 4 GB? Nah, reserve it for Logic 9 + Kontatk 64 bit (unless you plan to upgrade your computer in a year or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starobrno1 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Seems Logic can use more than just under 4 gigs if you check out tomazzis links. Well it´s not actually Logic but some plugins like esx24 can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The point is EXS24 is useless in a modern sampling enviroment. If you need tons of ram is because you want to use advanced sample libraries like vienna or EWQLS, and EXS24 has zero support for the scripting needed by those kind of libraries, so is completly useles.

VooD, if you are using stand alone apps in addition to Logic, you can easily max out 8gb of RAM. I am using Logic, BFD2, Kontakt 2 and PLAY engine at the same time. Routing audio back to Logic with Soundflower, MIDI to apps using built in OSX internal routing. Even so some AU plugins as VSL uses RAM outside Logic in a very smart way, so 8 GB for me it to little but my MoBo can´t handle more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yep, I know that, but I really hate having to setup every external application each time I load a project, and I would also really miss offline bouncing. Lets hope logic finally goes 64bit. That would (in addition to allow more sample space) solve many stability problems some people is suffering. People using several ram intensive plugins often get complete crashes in logic cause logic itself allows to continue loading sample data in .au plugins even when you are already at the 3.2 gb limit for its process.

starobrno1 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 VooD to you it might be useless not for everyone though, and in a modern sampling environment well you can make good use of just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 gteles, if you've got a 64-bit CPU, Leopard will run in 64-bit mode, so you should already be getting a performance boost. As far as 64-bit Applications goes, I don't think Logic is 64-bit yet, but don't quote me on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diafebus Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 About the 8 GB. I know that, should i sell 4 GB? NO!! wait! Apple is going to sell Snow Leopard 64bit the next january 2009, so apple computers will support lot more ram... so keep it. gteles, if you've got a 64-bit CPU, Leopard will run in 64-bit mode, so you should already be getting a performance boost. As far as 64-bit Applications goes, I don't think Logic is 64-bit yet, but don't quote me on it... maybe yes, because apple did not worked in developing a better operating system, snow leopard will be exactly the same as Leopard except for the running process, so i think that it should be lot more faster, but we have to wait for the release..

De Sad Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Strange the new cubase 4 work in 64 bit if you use in mac or win vista 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
