Any problems running Buzz on Windows 7 64-bit?

Post by esp81 »

I'm about to upgrade from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, will I have any problems with Buzz or any generators/effects? Should I keep running 32-bit Buzz on a 64-bit OS?

No problem, all is fine, and with polac vst, you can use all x64 plugs. (buzz x64 works but it is experimental, cool with a reduced gear, i use only buzz 32)

I migrated from a 32 bit cpu to a 64 bit cpu. Buzz itself works fine, but you may find that some of your machines no longer work. You may fix some of them by changing their multi-threading settings in their configuration files, but you may find that you will have to leave some machines behind. This ended up being the case with maybe 5 machines that I was quite fond of including kibidu doof and farbrausch v2.

The consensus seems to be that even on your 64 bit system you should still use the 32 bit version of buzz. The 64 bit support isn't implemented well enough to warrant it's use.

Save a full copy of all your Buzz directories and project files, and create a virtual machine (Windows Virtual PC) to run Vista. This way you have a working copy of your existing songs.
