Of course the AAX format suggests to me that RTAS and TDM will be dumped with PT11 so that it can be fully 64 bit.

While I can't speak specifically about feature development, I *can* say that we are paying close attention to the top 'feature requests'. There are some things that will simply require a major shift/overhaul of the fundamental Pro Tools engine to be able to implement. Some of those things you're already seeing in Pro Tools 10.

I am seeing nothing about HD - HDX hardware exchanges

"Some of those things you're already seeing in Pro Tools 10. " - which ones?

+1

Well, I was hoping to ditch Reaper ReWire but PT 10 looks great and has features that I can use now. The new AAX format, which is 64 bit ready, is a very good sign for PT 64 bit.

When are we supposed to receive an email regarding the free upgrade to pt10 for us who bought pt9 on or before October 1st?

• Speed up editing and mixing with Clip Gain, and easily adjust and match gain levels, pre-mixer
• Use multiple audio formats in a session—including interleaved—without file duplication
• Record higher resolution sound with more headroom in 32-bit floating-point format
• Get great responsiveness on slower hard drives with the enhanced disk cache
• Record in low-latency mode, with direct monitoring when using third-party audio interfaces
• Get the sound of System 5 console EQ and dynamics with the Avid Channel Strip plug-in
• Get access to over 500 additional Pro Tools commands when using EUCON controllers
• Work more easily with AudioSuite-rendered clips with reverse processing, handles, and more
• Create extra long-format projects for sequential versioning with the extended 24-hour timeline
• Open fade-heavy sessions faster and get better responsiveness with real-time fades
• Fold down 5.1 surround mixes to stereo with the Down Mixer plug-in
• Export mixes directly to SoundCloud to share and promote your music to the world
• Shop for virtual instruments, effects, and sound processing plug-ins in the Marketplace

Everything in bold is HUGE in my eyes.

But of course... everyone is more concerned with what's missing than what they added.

I think the amnesty emails may take a couple of days

Disk cache, AAX plug-ins and real-time fades (which is really a bunch of under the hood changes to how Pro Tools works). There may be a few others, but memory isn't serving me at the moment and I want to try to keep up with answering posts about PT10.

You get the idea though...

That's correct - we usually space them out over a week or so to avoid slow download times caused by server overload.
