Pro Tools from Avid, an industry standard software is now based on a 64-bit architecture. While there are several important enhancements, the software is now able to access as much RAM as is present on a computer system over the previous 4 GB limit. What this means is that virtual instruments that contain large sample file bases can now be fully loaded, while the number of instruments that can be simultaneously available in a session is also increased.
