Future 64bit support for Drumtracker >yes/no/when?

[Looney_Tooner]

Any information on 64bit support for Drumtracker in the future?

For many 64bit users its unusable, others (like me) can only process one input channel without crashing it.

I know it’s not as popular as EZdrummer and thus doesn’t have priority over there but any word from the techs?

I definitely second this post. I just picked up Drumtracker and without the multi-track/instrument support in Windows 7 it’s practically worthless for transcribing drum tracks. It’s actually the only 32-bit Windows application I’ve come across so far that doesn’t work in Windows 7. It looks like a really cool program, but until there’s a 64-bit version, I’d have been better off spending that $20 on beer.

hmmmm, beer…

the thing is, for beer I also have just one input channel.
It does work well in 64bit though.

The sadist thing for me is one that might may you all think about this lack of vendor concern from another angle completely. Just yesterday I found out that my PSA was starting to go up after 2.5 years of thinking I was going to wow myself and others using soft synth tech. I had some money and bought a new iMac.

I was never an Apple man…never could justify the cost. I was a computer guru since the PC first came out and oddly it was my reason that I didn’t die of some overdose. I made lots of money and did lots of dumb things, but now I think I will get serious, buy the stuff the top pros say to get and get an iMac. I buy the best and thinking I could laugh at the scoffers using Windows 7 64 bit, I got the Leopard, Logic 9, the latest M-Audio 25 2nd gen controller, and having lots of other gizmos; cool keyboards and such, what could go wrong?

I didn’t even think about researching the Apple media hardware and software media, because I was always told if you have the money, that’s the way to go. But now, the M-Audio doesn’t do most of the cool crap that it sort of does in Logic 64 bit mode. Superior drummer, which seemed a bit expensive, once I found out what it does and doesn’t do in 32 bit, let alone the fact that my controller/Superior needs to be trained in 64.

Windows 64 bit is blowing away Snow Leopard in its driver support… I feel like a fool. I am a PC expert and just when I reach 59 years old, I get Prostate Cancer, pay a fortune for the best Apple Lane recording stuff, etc. I have maybe have a year left and every piece of software I have has been upgraded for Windows and not for me. DO YOU THNK I PISSED OFF?
