Default Avid should bundle a True Peak limiter DSP Plugin

I haven't found any True Peak Limiter DSP plugins and since vendors don't seem to be clamoring to churn out AAX DSP plugins, I feel Avid should step up to the plate and bundle one with Pro Tools HD DSP systems.

If you are working in broadcast or cable post production, a True Peak limiter is becoming pretty much mandatory these days. Using an RTAS plugin like Elixir on 5.1 stems not only eats up way too many voices, it also gobbles up tons of processing power and requires long ADC to deal with the excessive latency. The amount of latency causes timing issues with real time fader moves, even with ADC on, making ICONs and other control surfaces feel unresponsive.

This has become a major issue and it needs a solution soon. A True Peak limiter should be considered a mandatory component of any professional DAW. Avid should definitely include one in it's package of bundled plugins.
