When is ableton going 64 bit

Users will also be able to download the final bit version of Ableton anytime they like form their User Account where it will remain permanently. Never be without your tunes.

You can still download and run those older versions in their bit versions.

And remember that you can install more than one version of Live on the same computer, side by side. Ableton will only develop a bit version of Live and Max for Live going forward. Though you can still use the older Live with the older plug-in. Fewer crashes. The bit version of Live crashes more than the bit version — a lot more. Ableton collect the number of crashes.

Most of these crashes are as simple as Live running out of memory — not a bug, not a misbehaved plug-in, but just hitting that 3. Fewer Live crashes overall means fewer people having to talk to support about these crashes, which is better for everybody. Faster updates. Supporting both bit and bit versions of Live adds overhead to the entire development process. More overhead can translate to us getting fewer new features, or getting them less quickly.

That overhead impacts the time spent coding and debugging Ableton Live, not only for the humans, but also for the machines those humans rely on to do their work. Even with a room full of racks of pricey, powerful computer hardware making that happen, the process takes hours, especially at peak times.

Take away the bit side of things, and developers get their results faster. In practical terms, that could mean they get their change back today, instead of having to wait until coming into the office tomorrow morning. Removing that drag from the process means those engineers can work on Live more efficiently. The upshot for us is, we get more the stuff we want — fixes and new features.
