MDW Massenburg EQ for AAX
Hi Avid,
When will you release the AAX version of Massenburg's MDW EQ as I understand that it is already programmed and ready for release? Also will it be a paid or free upgrade for existing users.

Good news everybody MDW EQ AAX DSP ...soon
From the GML facebook
"George Massenburg Labs I'm pleased to say (I'll let Avid do the official announcement) that MDWEQ5-AAX will be available shortly from Avid. the DSP implementation is second-to-none, with the lowest measured noise & artifact using all-double-precision math. please check with Avid for details. George" So Sonnox have released the first 2 of theirs and it looks like there will be more soon as well. MDW EQ is great news I'm having to run it RTAS at the moment kills my flow. |

Just did a upgrade to v.3 to get RTAS for HDX.
Wonder what the upgrade to AAX will cost!?!

Yup; knowing Avid's pricing I'd expect something around 500€.

Re: Good news everybody MDW EQ AAX DSP ...soon
I don't want to pay a tonne of money either, but also I don't expect it to be free. It needs re coding ergo man hours, I don't work for free and neither should a PI programmer working on a new version. They gotta eat too!
I agree it shouldn't be crazy, but the Sonnox prices aren't that bad for something that'll then last you for a few years really. In fact I've sat on my last version of that EQ for years, I think I paid some kind of upgrade back with the UB switch. Really divide it by the days youll get out of it and it's like a few pence a day is it really so bad? Lets wait and see what Avid/MDW actually want before jumping the gun and setting phasers for kill on the assumption it'll be unreasonable as opposed to the facts Disclaimer if they do charge 500dollars launch the photon torpedoes + the phasers and ignore this post (but I suspect it wont be unreasonable and that's my point) |

So I expect that the upgrade to AAX is the same price for v.2 and v.3. But to use the EQ in HDX you have to go to v.3! There was no other reason for upgrading to v.3. So I hope the upgrade fee for v.3 is cheaper than for v.2 otherwise I would have paid twice. With McDSP and v.5 you will get the AAX Plugins for free!

McDSP did charge for V5 (very reasonable) but they have also been selling V5 upgrades to people since Oct 2011 on the incentive that you will get AAX in it so they are charging or using that benefit as a sales tool. Great company by the way. They historically tried not to charge for upgrades and didn't for many years, but have had to change in recent years. Interesting article here http://www.coolstufflabs.com/consequences.html which gives us all some perspective on why PI manufacturers are increasingly having to do this. (adopt a WUP type approach or an upgrade price) The legitimate users like us end up paying more because others are getting the tools we pay for for free. |

Re: MDW Massenburg EQ for AAX
Funny, the MDW rev 5 was on the AAX pages on the Avid site yesterday (description page, but wasn't in the store yet) and gone today..
Guessing the Avid store wasn't ready to accept orders and downloads yet... It will be nice to get the AAX version... |
