Re: Transition to AAX: A Real Programmer's Perspective

Should it have been priced the way it is? No. Could they have marketed better? Definitely. But I still believe this was a very necessary release, for the sake of the future architecture. Exactly. Nothing taken personally here, just a friendly debate.

Avid is a corporation like any other. They outsource development to cut costs. I don't have any reservations about how Avid is as corporation. I've had plenty of heated debates with Avid staff. Also, Waves doesn't have nearly as many different developers to worry about as Avid does. Oldest DAW in the world vs plugin developer. No comparison. At the same time... PT10 was for the other developers. The dozens of companies that they are not responsible for, and the new companies that are starting up all the time, or did not previously write plugins for Pro Tools. It gives everyone equal opportunity without the mess of beta releases and obtuse secrecy. Why have 100 different companies with countless individuals and further outsourced testers all sign NDAs when they can just release a version that anyone can get?

Re: Transition to AAX: A Real Programmer's Perspective
Im no expert on this topic so don't beat me up. Ive been watching this AAX / PT10 thing for some time and this thread as well. For me and my 2 cents, a UAD pci-e card makes most of this a non-issue. I believe ol Frank said in a Q&A video I saw that one of his "On a island" items would be a UAD card. So while I sit with a Waves Mercury bundle TDM tho awesome plugs, I wished I would have used half the money and got a UAD card.
Just a comment, I'm not a guru professional but having stepped into the Mac/PT world in 2006 Ive learned plugins are crack addiction. Knowing what your doing is far more important, yes Im guilty. Wayne |

Re: Transition to AAX: A Real Programmer's Perspective
Unless something has changed, the UAD cards create greater latency than RTAS or AAX-native!

At any rate,I'm starting to feel that the only real reliable format is hybrid. The DAW for editing and tracking and hardware for effects. That is where Pro Tools has the upper hand. Latency in that respect is undeniably better with Pro Tools. But I suppose I could remedy that by mixing live to an external recorder or secondary DAW computer.
