64 bit processing, etc.

Any thoughts on audio software evolving into 64 bit architectures?
That would probably kill the argument that you need to go analog to
mix due to summing issues.
The arise of 64 bit architecture has absolutely nothing to do with the
difference in sound you get from analog summing. The two are
completely unrelated. Analog summing is used, and will be used into
the future, because electronic components have inconsistent
irregularities that color the sound.
While more processing word length per clock would mean we can come up
processes that work on a more precise level, this will not change the
fact that analog summing will give you the color of the gear you are
using.
Well said.
