Default Re: Whats happened to AA32

Not a lot of PT10-era plugins that are available as AAX64 but not available as RTAS/TDM so it's not a huge problem. Nobody expects new plugins to be back-ported to old platforms, right? And if so, then where's my TDM version...

Though I know where this is coming from; people think AAX32 is much more efficient than RTAS (which it is) but if you have both plugin engines active there goes much of the gain. So if you can be 100% TDM or 100% AAX32 I would get it but if you mix two plugin architectures together it's always half-baked.

AAX32 was great because developers had time to learn coding AAX before going to AAX64 or AAXDSP but now that they are coding 64bit that 32bit variant would just be extra effort just like DSP but on much smaller scale. Today it is close to completely unnecessary.
