64-Bit Computing—Key Benefits for Musicians

SONAR 7 can provide significant advantages to musicians when running Windows Vista x64 Edition on native 64-bit Intel or AMD processor-based workstations.

SONAR 7 can experience significant processing performance increase which varies depending on your particular application. Benchmarks have shown improvements of 20-30%.
The increase in processing performance can result in more simultaneous tracks, realtime effects, and virtual instruments, along with closer to real-time latency for mixing and performance.
The Vista x64 platform allows for access to up to 128 GB of RAM, an exponential increase from the 4 GB of RAM afforded by yesterday’s 32-bit computing platform.
The increase in system memory can result in the loading of larger, higher-quality sample content into RAM, increasing the amount of content capable of being used in any given project, while also reducing the latency introduced by disc streaming.

BitBridge™

A primary barrier to making the leap to the 64-bit environment has been the lack of plug-ins available. SONAR’s BitBridge™ sweeps aside any resistance by enabling the use of 32-bit VST effects and instruments in SONAR’s 64-bit environment.

“Cakewalk deserve praise for almost single handedly paving the way for everyone else, not only with their own 64-bit application development, which has stimulated 64-bit enthusiasm among musicians, but also with public seminars discussing the benefits of the x64 platform and the intricacies of the required coding.”
