So, I decided to cross over into 64-bit territory. Loaded up 11.3.1 on my Digi 002 console rig. Macbook Pro 2012 i7 2.7, 16 gig ram, SSD, external SSDs. OSX 10.8.5.
11 is handling plugin loads much better than 10. I haven't needed to use any VIs yet, tho. So far, everything is really smooth. The 002's console functionality seems to be all there (I installed the latest 003-family drivers).
I ran into a glitch, however (literally). On one of my bounces (real-time and offline), there was a digital squelching sound for a few seconds. I tried the usual stuff to get rid of it (changing playback settings, removing 3rd-party plugins systematically, etc..) To make a long story short, I figured out what was causing it: Elastic Audio. I had monophonic real-time set up on some vocal tracks. Committing EA on the tracks fixed the glitch! I'm not liking it, but EA and I have had a love/hate relationship for some time now, so I'm really not surprised...
Also, I noticed another bug. I moved a session to my home editing rig (M-Audio FW 610), and I have to change outputs when I do that. I was unable to switch the outputs on the auxes/master! After fiddling with it, I found that I now have to select "no output" THEN select a new output. Not a deal-breaker, but is slightly more time-consuming. After doing it a bunch of times, I found that I could SOMETIMES swap the outputs directly, but only after I had selected "no output" for a couple auxes first. Weird.
Anyways, just wanted to share my experiences! I'll post more as I do more recording/mixing this week if there are any troubles.
