Exactly the reason I'll be passing on PT10 and waiting...for as long as it takes.

Otherwise, the new features look impressive.

Because it's the "Real Time AudioSuite" and "Time Division Multiplexing" that keeps it from being 64 bit and from allowing offline rendering.

Pro Tools is really the only host that supports two proprietary plugin formats, and now 10 has to host 3. Which means there would have to be a bridge for all 3 platforms. Instead, Pro Tools itself acts as the bridge. Once RTAS and TDM are phased out, AAX will be the only format and it will be 64 bit. It will allow for an entire recode of Pro Tools from the ground up, and give us a lighter weight platform with more of the features we expect.
well said!!! maybe not a total rewrite...but a memory management rewrite at a minimum...much like the new disk engine

So currently AAX is like RTAS/TDM 32bit aswell ?

With 32-bit floating-point bit-depth audio files, your audio won't dither down to 24-bit, a process that adds noise and reduces sound quality. This profoundly affects Pro Tools|HDX since audio will no longer dither down to 24-bit between plug-ins. The result: your audio will sound better than ever!
Does this dither thing apply for regular PT10 aswell ?
Meaning will the 32bit sound better than with 24 bit ?

Yes.

32 bit float point is standard across all of PT10.

Technically, yes, because Pro Tools itself is 32 bit.

When the next version of Pro Tools comes out and drops RTAS/TDM support, we'll see 64 bit processing across the board.

32 bit audio??? I want 64 bit audio files! NOW!

ok Just kidding. BUT:

i don't see what 64/32 bit operation has to do with offline render/freeze. If it's RTAS/TDM that's in the way of offline rendering, I could buy that. But being a 32-bit program in itself would have nothing to do with it.

It's because both plugin formats are designed exclusively for real time processing. They have no rendering capabilities in their current incarnation.

RTAS and TDM are why Pro Tools is still 32 bit. You wouldn't be able to run a 64 bit Pro Tools with 32-bit float point math on 48 bit Time Division Multiplexing cards. Because of that, there's no point recoding TDM or RTAS for 64 bit (which would be required for a 64 bit Pro Tools version, unless you create a bridge, which could only add more problems).

AAX solves both problems at once.
