eureka!!!!!!!

AU LAB worx GREAT [;)]

something occured to me....you know how Logic7 has that 3-4 gig RAM max out?

Well,

does it not stand to reason that AU Lab as it is part of the DEV tools IS a 64Bit app?
Meaning that it CAN adress 8 gig of RAM?

or am I kidding myself?

Gerard,,,

Does Plogue support 64 bit addressing ....so I can use the full 8 gig of RAM in my 2nd G5?

SvK

it was explained to me that no program that uses the graphic interface - meaning no program that isn't Unix text-based, i.e. no program that we'll ever use - has 64-bit addressing. Only Terminal programs can be 64-bit.

Actually, it's supposed to be possible to program hybrids, but nobody has done that yet (as far as I know).

I've been using Plogue on a PC and it works great. At some point I'll run it on a second G5 to host more VI's.

Nick....

I bought plogue and it occurred to me that since Logic has a 4 gig RAM limit...

So does plogue .......Soif I run plogue and Logic on my main machine, each program can run circa 4 gig of VIs, so on one machine I can utilise 8 gigs worth right?

SvK

There is currently no way (so far I know) to address more than 4GB RAM in Panther or Tiger. The limit will fall probably with Leopard the same applies I guess with Windows Vista. Well in the meantime you have to work with 4GB inside of an application (that's why the made the VI server AU stuff I guess again [H] ?!)

best, imusic

Imusic...

That is my point since within Logic it is 4 gig...

Shouldn't there be another 4 gig for Plogue Bid?

SvK

Yes, each program has 4GB (3GB or so in the real world). The question is whether the system will be stable running that way.

Well....

I will let you know in some hours....loading up massive amounts of RAM now [;)]


BUT check my other post..

I only need 1 program (L7) to access the 8 gig as long as 4 gig are Vienna Instruments and the other 4 are exs24 Vienna [;)]

VSL Server has it's own memory it does not load into memory of Logic...

I think this will work...If it does I will have great use for all the old EXS vienna stuff.

SvK

If i weren't having horrendous problems getting an external SATA drive I'm installing to work, I'd be able to see for myself...

How does one obtain AU Lab?

I thought I'd just post that I use Rax for hosting VSL VI's. it's quite flexible.
I route midi via IACBUS, and run Rax at 250 samples audio buffer.

So I can switch from one Logic song to another without having to wait ages for samples to load..

I posted a very long post on Sonikmatter.
