Re: A couple of clues in the Avid PT11 promo video
Cheers Nigel - kind of you ... just checked and 9pm ET is too late for me (another hour ahead if you)! Will have to watch the re-run tomorrow :)
You've answered my track freeze question already ... so, apart from questioning if disk cache is included (non-HD) and if my i5 iMac will work (if so, I'll be ordering some RAM in advance), some idea of Avid's own plans for remaining non-AAX plugins (like Smack LE, TL Space, etc.) would help users make plans. In fact, if developers would cooperate, Avid could publish a timetable of planned upgrades ... that's really more of a suggestion than a question! Thanks! Edit - + just noticed on below link that the Eleven Rack UI is not available in PT11 ... quite a big deal unless they deliver an alternative before then: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/c...m-Requirements Last edited by Righty27; 04-08-2013 at 01:21 PM. |

Re: A couple of clues in the Avid PT11 promo video
Having just flicked through last night's Q&A, I'll answer some of my questions:
* Disk cache remains HD-only ... shame as this would be a really advantageous feature particularly suited to music/non-HD users who can no longer upgrade via CPTK + differentiator vis competing products (unlike e.g the metering upgrades which suit the Typical HD user more) ... would be the perfect solution for laptop users and could pick up on the uncertainty surrounding the future of Logic * Hardware compatibility - appears to be somewhat 'open' with Avid still testing and hoping to support as many PT10 systems as possible * Many partners were mentioned but I didn't catch any dates + nothing on the not-yet-AAX Avid plugins Last edited by Righty27; 04-09-2013 at 05:52 AM. |

Re: A couple of clues in the Avid PT11 promo video
Talking to myself now ... considering typical users' hardware setups:
* How likely is 'disk cache' to influence a user's decision to use HD? * Could 'disk cache' influence a decision to switch to PT (non-HD) from e.g. Cubase, Logic, etc.? With the prevalence of internal SSDs and fast Thunderbolt/USB 3.0 external drives (+ notwithstanding RAM-disk workarounds for similar functionality) + wider 64-bit improvements, how long will 'disk cache' be perceived as a useful feature for non-HD users (with HD guys surely going for DSP acceleration, high track counts, etc. ... laptop guys would benefit from not having to carry around an external drive + an interface - remember, no CPTK upgrade path)? |

A few of us had hoped that they were going to include this for non-HD systems, and with CPTK being EOL'd, I guess our hopes went up. It is a bit of a missed opportunity, I think ... obviously Avid need to determine the best balance of features vs price + an attractive upgrade path but I don't see anyone going for a hardware-dependent HD rig (which you either need or you don't) just to get disk cache ... but PT11 with disk cache (+ bounce/freeze enhancements, 64-bit advantages for VIs, etc.) for musicians with laptops or simpler home setups would become increasingly attractive to e.g. Logic users, possibly justifying the higher price, regular upgrade costs and short-term AAX issues?! Avid have basically made the lower product less competitive than it needs to be by only including this functionality higher up the value chain, where it may (on my unqualified reasoning ... + I would like it!) make little difference to the purchasing decision for HD users. Oh well! I recall some decent new functionality being added in a previous PT 'dot' release, so one never knows! |

Re: A couple of clues in the Avid PT11 promo video
Don't know how likely, but as I've been using the Disk Cache feature for so long I can surely say that it is a game changer regarding how the audio/video files are stored anywhere. Without that feature you basically cannot use any network storage, and every local storage device you have must perform very well. Disk Cache changes all that. You can just load your timeline into memory and stream from there.

Regarding dot releases, I remember that HEAT was added to 8.1 but probably mainly because 8.0 was planned to be the end of the line for PPC. Before that, dot releases were more major. * 7.4 was all about Elastic Audio * 7.3 was all about Universal Binaries * 7.2 was all about VCA's * 7.1 ... well ... I don't actually remember, because it was LE release * 6.7 introduced MIDI improvements * 6.4 introduced Automatic Delay Compensation These are the ones that I remember. But since Avid dropped PPC, things have been simpler. There was PT9 that opened PT for 3rd party interfaces, and PT10 which introduced AAX. And now PT11 which is 64-bit. I would see things going like this: - Major versions introduce new features - Dot releases are periodic maintenance releases - Dot-Dot releases are bug fixes, which used to be "CS" releases. Or something like that.
