No native 32bit bridge though, and no m4l support, yet. For those that have very large sets though, should be a godsend as long as you either have jbridge or everything in 64bit

Im amazed they are giving away 64bit at all, figured that would have been live9 only

Might soon be time to finally upgrade the PC to 64 bit windows!

I'm assuming once the update goes live (not beta) there will be some sort of backwards compatibility added for 32 bit plugins, similar to how Logic does it.

If not, I hate my life.

they havent said yet but there was a post from ableton support in their forums that made it seem like they were leaning towards no built in bit bridge since jbridge exists and many other daws implementations of bit bridging are flakey except a select few, mainly reaper being the only stable one. Theres a few other daws, like studio one, that also dont have a built in bridge. They've taken the stance of, its up to the devs and they should be updating their software and the daw shouldnt be compromised for it

Either way theres always jbridge and its only 15eur, and if enough people complain ableton might do it anyway

Still on 32-bit Windows 7. Built that PC a couple of years ago and it seemed fairly pointless to go for the 64 bit option given how little music software supported it.
