Personally, when recording onto a digital platform I've always felt a little slighted. I would much rather record onto my 8-track tape machine and then dump it down to mix. With a 64-bit internal mixing engine, I'm much more satisfied with recording straight into my soundcard. Now if I could only be rid of Windows for good. I guess it's not a perfect world. Hi Peter,

I know a number of people running SONAR (which does have a 64-bit mix engine) on 32-bit Windows. (I think you're aware of this, but in case you or anyone else is unclear.) We'll certainly keep tabs on Ardour's development. 64-bit mixing may not be a necessity to everyone, but I know it matters to some.

It looks a little nicer than previous, but doesn't seem to run faster to me. For some reason I thought Ardour2 would have an internal 64-bit mixing engine, but it does not. It works on a 64-bit distro, saves files in a 64-bit file format (WAV64), but the internal audio is limited to 32-bits. Hopefully Ardour will come out with a true 64-bit DAW in the near future. I'm tired of having to reboot into XP Pro x64 whenever I want to record. Don't get me wrong... Ardour is and will be a great program, but I still prefer Sonar or Samplitude.
