Re: Why PT10 is not 64 bit... let's get this over with ;)

AAX is the answer to our prayers. No more drama about which sounds better, whether or not one will open on your system... it becomes all the same. It can also become 64 bit.
PT10 HAD to be 32 bit, so to be able to still run TDM and RTAS since adoption of AAX will take time.

That has got to be the lamest excuse EVER. I mean Avid didn't want to rewrite code so they force every 3rd party plugin manufacturer to do yet another version for PT10. And in 32bits.
Interesting to see how much market share Avid will loose with this strategy. Cubase and Logic has been 64 bit for a long time now, Reason 6 is 64 bit, Reaper is 64 bit. But the new and future shaping PT10 is 32bit...
