How long before we can drag + drop AAC files again?
Anyone have any insider info on when we'll be able to drag and drop AAC files into "Pro" Tools again? I realize it's a small gripe in the grand scheme of things - just curious to know if and when a future update will restore prior functionality. Dare I mention QT export? Getting tired of the third party workarounds.
2020.5 on Catalina. |

It's ridiculous. Currently converting to wav in iTunes. Boring

Yes, but that the professional market leader DAW can't implement a solution is ridiculous

From Avid? Nothing so far--no notes, no acknowledgements of a fix in the works. Keep your customers in the dark. It's not as if this is some new feature they don't want to leak. Yes I get it that they can't be bothered having to communicate every little whim and wish of the public, but even Tim Cook and Elon Musk, who both run companies way bigger than Avid, have a sense for the moment and communicate with their user base about problems and fixes. That's all we are asking for here--

Re: How long before we can drag + drop AAC files again?
Look, guys. Importing AAC files into Pro Tools still works as well as it ever did. I can do it on both my Mac and Windows machines. If you can't, it's not because of Avid. It's because you downgraded to Catalina. There was two years worth of chatter warning you not to.

In any case, it isn't technically impossible for a DAW to import AAC (someone correct me if this is wrong). Avid simply hasn't done it. |
