Whats happened to AAX32
Hi,
Seems many developers are not doing AAX32 which is a shame as there are still a lot of PT10 users who would buy into it. Some are still doing it and i wonder how difficult it is do do a 32 version if you have the 64 already done. Chris

Totally agree. Tons of folks are still using 32 bit on Pro Tools 10 HD among other platforms. 64 bit Native is fine for many but not all. |

Re: Whats happened to AA32
Most vendors still have RTAS and that works fine with PT10. AAX32 was done as a transition solution only

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.

Hi, Im not sure what you mean by half baked by mixing aax32 in a TDM system. its no different from mixing TDM and RTAS which everyone did for years. Im not expecting them to back port to TDM but AAX32 if they already have AAX64 can't be that hard. some vendors are firing them out at an alarming rate and don't seem to have any problems doing so Ive been mixing TDM RTAS and AAX32 for a long time now with no real issues, just have to be aware of where you place your native plugs.... Some recent plugins have been compatible as they are AAX32.The new SSL version 6, New Fangled Audio Elevate, SKNote Disto and even some of the first Waves AAX are 32 and im using them just fine. Im sure in the beginning Avid said it was easy to do both 32 and 64 My point really is these vendors are not getting my money anymore Plugin Alliance, Softube, Waves latest etc Where as UAD have just had a 6 plugin purchase from me because they can still make their latest plugs work on PT10 and Mountain Lion. same for SSL, SKNote, New Fangled Audio.
