64-bit version of Studio

Please create a 64-bit version of Studio. At present only a 32-bit version is available, and therefore it can theoretically only access 2-3GB of system memory, meaning that upgrading your machine with more memory then this does not have any beneficial impact on Studio performance.

When handling large files & projects, allowing Studio access to all of your system's memory would make a huge difference in time and performance, and for this the app needs to be 64-bit.

Are there any plans to release a 64-bit version in future?

  • Many other applications that have no particular reason to switch to 64 bits did it.

    Yet, Studio, which often has to handle very big files and has therefore more reasons than most of other applications to do it, did not.
    The lack of usable memory, inherent to 32 bits systems, certainly explains a part of its crashes, such as when it suddenly shuts down in the middle of a sentence... Slow processes (even scrolling sometimes) may also be due to that lack of RAM.
