Question: Will you guys release both 32 & 64 bit REAPER 6 or just 64 bit? Newly released Studio one 4, Live 10 & Reason 10 stopped developing 32 bit and only provides 64 bit software. Actually, now it's better to stop having compatibility for older computers since 99% people use 64 bit now and soon, no one will use 32 bit. Barely there are people who use Windows XP, m

Reply on May 23 2018, 8:30pm:

Hmm I dunno, for linux I mostly a C2Q w/ Debian, RT kernel, RME HDSP PCI card for recording. I also have a Thinkpad X60 with a Zoom R24 and Debian I use for live performance, but it's not as reliable for me (though part of that might just be that it's underpowered...). Definitely like the RME hardware. Comment...
