Ok so I haven't read everything on the site yet, but apparently 32 bit plugins aren't supported anymore. So any plugin made by a developer that hasn't updated their plugins for 64 bit won't work.

Eg sylenth

thats pretty shit really.

still gonna it though. I can use ableton with it anyway if I have any problems with plug ins.

I used LPX for 12hrs yesterday (no joke) and it's pretty refined to 9. The black interface is a cool change and some of the new features are cool. With most things though there's parts of X I like and parts of 9 I prefer. I believe the 64bit makes a massive difference too. If you have 64bit compatible plugs I'd recommend it
