i am using cubase 5 mac osx and want to update to cubase 6 64 bit but i want to know if using 64 bit plugin makes a big difference on cpu usage is there less cpu strain and is it worth it thanks for any input

 

I think it is worth it.
Some plugins uses much less cpu on 64-bit, for example studio drummer in kontakt.
I use Logic and overall it uses a bit less cpu in 64-bit. And as you know you can have more plugins on your session.
So i say go 64-bit ;)

 

plus, with 32bit programs you can only use a max total of 4GB of RAM. (even if you installed more than 4GB of RAM)
with 64bit you don't have this limitation!

 

thanks for you input the only disadvantage is that not all plugins are 64 bit but eventually they all will be thanks
