Default Re: PT 9 64 bit?
Just a guess here...

I don't think what we saw last night would have required the Pro Tools programmers balls-to-the-wall effort to implement.

I think Avid wanted to:
  • Get an "Avid" branded Pro Tools out there
  • Get something at least somewhat earthshaking out there for the AES show
  • Get an "exciting" product out there for the holiday shopping season
But I honestly don't think the PT9 that was released last night was Avid's end game for the product. I think it was the most Avid could cram in there before a certain date (AES show) without diverting too many programming resources from what will be the real "biggie", a 64-bit version.

And I think we'll see the 64-bit version before summer...

I do not work for Avid (their loss)...my only relationship with Avid is that of a customer (when I'm not too poor to buy stuff, like now)...and that hot administrative assistant...that's more of a "thing" than a "relationship" (that should keep them guessing for a while...)

Just rockin'...what more is there?
