64 bit rewire is live ball is in your hands Cake

I seriously hope I'm wrong, but I have a strong feeling that even if they do have the ability to implement 64 bit Rewire now or in the very near future, they will hold off and use it as one of the main selling points for whatever the next version of Sonar will be called. 

They know it's one of the main features that people in the 64 bit world have been waiting on and are most likely willing to pay for, and at the end of the day they are still a corporation so I have a hard time believing they'll pass up the easy money. 

Like I said, I hope I'm totally wrong about this and they bring it to us in an update SOON, but my gut tells me we'll be waiting a while.

ben , sod paying them for that.. Props should have been on point with it YEARS ago. I slated them often enough about it, only to get a load of fan boi's who don't use anything else. I just got my upgrade for reason 6 last night. cakewalk are on point with this stuff..e.g. rex-64 last time. It depends on when props gave them the info they needed and if things are any different compared to 32 bit.

why should I pay a 3rd party for an update props should have done LONG ago ? I can list about "6" items they have caused me hassle with them to an extent it got maddening.. so yer.. they got "paid" exactly what I thought, alas their wasn't a "you pay me" button for the amount of time I've wasted on them because of their lethargy in updating their exsisting products(no rex+rewire 64 being the 2 prime things) instead of trying to flog us new stuff e.g. record... who knows maybe recycle will be updated one day.. it's a 1 trick pony for me these days (file converter) .. it's a pity as I like their products, but other things make things tricky.

reason is a niche market.. it's not the same market as sonar or the other rivals. rewire 64 IS / WAS a big issue.. your stuck to use 4gb , not just for sonar users .. remember that's running OS + reason + a host + vst's etc. so to use rewire you only can use 32 bit sonar etc. I can easily max out reason memory wise within 4gb .. using big sample libs (like pianos)

I paid 100cents for it. I felt justified as i opened reason 5 maybe twice and record never....besides the name your own price i would have not even bothered with it probably. Now if i could rewire into sonar 64 without some third party fix it might get some use.

We all make our own choices.

If a 3rd party plugin provides the ability to use Rewire in a 64 bit host then you either get it because the function is important
or
you stick to your guns (like Propellorheads really know and care) and do without.

Obviously the need to whinge is greater than the benefit of being able to rewire into a 64 bit host.

Me, I gave Rewire and the need for it away a long long time ago. Can't say I've miissed it.

I just don't see the point, really.

If I have to rewire one into another I just use whatever comes to hand--even if it is 3rd hand.

Props ain't been the slowest in going 64 bit by a long chalk.  There's still plenty of stuff out there that's 32 bit only.

As for Rewire I'm still waiting for Cakewalk to implement the 32 bit version properly, it's easy to understand why some people here gave up on it long ago it's presently, lterally a mess of meaningless multiple choice channel selections just now at the Sonar end.  Mind you it works OK once you've spent a few hours setting up a template so you can at least deal with a Stereo out at the bus stage. 

That ain't props fault.

Also I don't know of another 64 bit Rewire host yet but at least now it's released it will start to get implemented.  It's been available publicly for an entire day now so where are all the hosts already?

I hope our Mr. Anderton is able to tip some guidance into the Cakewalk developers eyesight as to how to best implement it in it's new 64 bit form (and thusly fix the 32 bit version too), I know he's been looking forward to it too.

Regarding the way ReWire behaves that Jonbouy mentioned. FWIW it does the same thing in Pro Tools, first pair is one stereo track, after that I have to create two mono tracks and pan them left and right....quite a pain the deeper you get into a project!

Of course don't forget to fill one of these folks!

And as our Freddie would rightly say...

64 bit Rewire it really matters!
