"decreased performance" in 32-bit mode

Post by eleona »

I just upgraded to AP2 and discovered that I will be forced to run in 32-bit mode since the AU and VST plugins I use most do not support 64 yet. Under Effects, when I opened the command that says "Where are my plugin?," the alert window that opens, says I can switch to 32-bit and experience "decreased performance." My question: Is it the CPU performance or the audio quality that will be decreased?

(I'm running MacOS 10.6.4.) Soundhack SpectralShapers and pvockit don't support 64-bit, nor Michael Norris's SoundMagic Spectral free AUs.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered on the forum already.

Best regards,
Eric

It's the cpu performance. your audio quality will be fine, or at lezst it should be.
Yes, there will be no difference whatsoever in the way audio is processed.
There could be a very small decrease in performance, mainly due to the fact
that memory is a bit more limited, but this should be barely noticeable.

As far as performance goes in 32-bit mode, I'm experiencing A LOT more crashes than with the previous version of AP. Likewise, I need my plug-ins. So, I would not claim 'barely noticeable'. In fact, I'd like to download the old version until you have a more stable upgrade. Please advise.

Version 1.5 is still available at <http://s3.amazonaws.com/AmadeusPro/AmadeusPro.dmg>.

Did you send me the crash reports? Thanks,

Martin
