PT10 is Here

PT9 still works great for me, I'll probably stick with it for awhile. Though I really want that clip based gain, i may just wait until PT is actually 64 bit.

I havent even been using PT9 a full year yet, but what would you rather have, a company that doesnt update until everyone feels "ready" or a company that puts out products with advanced features in a timely manner. You dont have to upgrade, but at least you have the option.

I know many people still using PT8 and PT7.

Not 64bit, No freeze tracks. No enhancement for VI's.

I could give a crap. I don't know who these guys are listening to but it ain't me.

Thanx

Yes you will.

The real time fade will be converted to the old system when you go from pt 10 to pt 9 as you save for pt 7 file system

When you go from 9 to 10 they will convert the fade file automatically so you will be able to trash the fade folder once it's done.

Dang right Carl +1

Aside from what you mentioned I still have only 64 instrument tracks...ugh!

Simply put, using RAM to work like a hard disk drive. Since RAM is many times faster than a physical drive, reading from the Disk Cache is much faster and will provide the playback engine with better audio streaming performance than the actual physical hard drive can accomplish.

This is the best post I have seen on this forum.

obviously some would never be happy. There's a reason why it's not 64 bit. It's to give time to those who have tdm system to move on to the new hdx system. If they moved right away to 64 bit, the old system would not be compatible, and those people would have lost ten's of thousands of dollars in one new version.

Also you have to remember something. Avid is a hardware manufacturer. Placing a new product that gives 5 times the processing power on one single card, with the tones of plugs that you've seen is quite something. Combining that with the host processing power is even better. So while you'd want a 64 bit system. IMHO,PT 10 hdx bring in more power than even one 64 bit system could handle. We're talking of over 100 tracks with 6 to 10 plugins on each and single one of those tracks.

Very nice but apparently it is HD only.

Curious on how the AAX format will handle VI's. With an HDX card, and a hypothetical Kontakt instance in AAX format, how taxing on the CPU is the kontakt instance going to be with an HDX card vs. PT10? I'm aware that RAM usage is still an issue, but I'm curious how much host cpu would be used with something like Kontakt Memory server(to take care of loading the samples), if the kontakt instance were loaded in the DSP on the HDX card.

I guess the real question is, when does Kontakt become available in AAX format?

Absolutely!
