Xpand!2 2018 & Air Instruments 2018
 
Just noticed downloads for Xpand!2 2018 & Air Instruments 2018 in my account.

Are these new versions or the same old 12.0 versions renamed 2018? If they are new, will they work with older versions of PT 12?

The Air Effects Bundle is still 12.0.

These versions allow for cloud authorization.

Is it required that the new versions of Xpand2 (and other AIR Instruments) be installed for them to work in PT 2018.1?

I only have air instruments 12.5.1 installer in my account. Should I be looking for an Air Instruments 2018? Is this something that shows up later?

Keep in mind I just renewed my license to 2018 yesterday. So far really digging 2018.1 on my MBP. Love the new track presets. So great for my mix templates or bringing up different FX settings.

Also kind of digging the little eq visual. Just gives a nice little pic of where things are sitting in the mix when is comes to that. Stoked it works with Fabfilter eq as that is one of my main surgical ones for notching things out.

Keep creating people.

I'd give a few days. If they don't show up, start a case.

Cool, thanks Drew. Digging this new release for sure. Looks like PT is slowly climbing back to where it needs to be. All DAW's have their ups and downs, just the way it is. I would say that we all have it pretty darn good. :)

Hey Drew,

Just curious about the air effects numbering? Below is what it says in my account. Were you saying to keep my eyes peeled for an 18.1 version for both the Air instruments and Effects bundles? Looks like Xpand2 is the only current one for PT2018? Thanks!

Yeah, mine too, Windows only in 18.1. That's why I was wondering if it was going to show up as 18.1 for Mac?
