Re: If he used an A64 with Nuendo, do we even know?

68.43.62.64

"Nuendo uses 32-bit float, so basically it means you can do 32-bit floating point calculations on 24-bit data. It's not "32-bit audio.""

That's what I figured. So talk about 64-bit integer math is irrelavant.

"Even if it was, it would only buy extra memory address space; it doesn't buy you more than 32 bits of precision on calculations, since the AMD processors are not "true" 64-bit processors like the Alpha, SPARC, PA-RISC, Itanium, or Power."

Huh? All those CPUs can do 64-bit integer math, and 64-bit floating point. The AMD/Intel chips can also do 80-bit floating point (an IBM PC from 1981 can do 80-bit!)
