There's a lot of almost-correct or sort-of-right information floating around regarding AAX, RTAS, and TDM. I'd like to try to set the record straight about a few things.
Some very good info here, shame Avid wasn't as forthcoming with info like this from day 1 to help soften the blow. BUT:

It's not unlike having an expectation that since you bought an 8-track of "Led Zep II" for $5 back in 1969, that Atlantic Records would have provided you over the years a new copy -- at no cost to you -- in LP format, then cassette, then CD, then DVD-Audio, then mp3, then SACD, then Blu-Ray....
No, very true - but it's 10 times cheaper to buy a new replacement DVD or BluRay than it is to buy a new top end plug-in!
