April 6th, 2006 - Musikmesse - Microsoft and Intel, along with industry-leading
software developer Cakewalk®, have provided significant support to
music software and hardware companies in porting their applications and
devices to run natively on Microsoft Windows XP Professional X64 Edition
and the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, along with
64-bit Intel processor-based workstations. Currently, key major software
and hardware companies in the Music Products industry now have products
either available or in development for the 64-bit platform, with many
announced here at Musikmesse.
CEntrance led the industry with the groundbreaking Universal Driver, which
unifies formerly incompatible audio interfaces into a single production
system for simultaneous recording and playback under ASIO. The driver's
innovative multi-host and multi-device capability was previously unavailable
under Microsoft Windows operating systems. CEntrance announces plans to
support Windows x64 in 2006. For more information, please visit CEntrance

Windows XP X64 Edition Combined with 64-bit–capable Intel processor–based
workstations provide significant advantages to musicians when running
native 64-bit music applications. Native X64 applications experience a
significant processing performance increase, which varies from application
to application, and the 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 processing performance can
result in more simultaneous tracks, real-time effects and virtual instruments,
along with closer-to-real-time latency for mixing and performance when
using native x64 music applications. And 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.
