Waves expensive TDM route absolete in future?

[Ale]

Hi
I thought about getting some updates for my current V7 Waves bundles..

As I understand future aax plugins are the same for the new dsp chips and native.

So thereis no need to buy TDM versions anymore?

Just wondering

All depends on $.
My TDM upgrade was less than going native. This also gives me native and likewise will likely (in the near future) continue as DSP/Native.
AAX coding may or may not address both processes.

However, If you plan on keeping or expanding TDM systems.....

Hi,

AAX will come in DSP or Native or in some cases both. I imagine Waves will continue to supply both and if you buy the DSP versions you will also get the Native versions.

I personally would want as many plugins as possible running as DSP versions, leaving the computer CPU/Native free for those plugs/processes that need it.

So yes to me there is still an advantage in buying the DSP versions

OK.
I thought aax will automatically run native or dsp if a hdx is available.
But i still do not see, that there is extra coding work to do for aax plugs.
There should be no need to keep that high prices. Who knows!

But for sute staying tdm/dsp you get the whole world

Hi,

Although it is easier to code for both with AAX it still requires extra coding time for the DSP version. Utilising the HDX chips has always been more time consuming than just coding for native.

Some vendors have already announce their prices and the DSP versions are still considerably more expensive!!

Hi,

Well Sonnox for a start, considerably more expensive for AAX DSP...

From what i've read others are still going to be charging more for the DSP versions.

Other than Sonnox all I have seen is very reasonable (free to a very minimal cost)
Waves will probably get up by raising WUP's prices

So who eles is charging a lot for AAX?

Hi,

Its the difference in pricing between AAX DSP and AAX Native that were talking about. and i'll be surprised if that price difference remains with AAX versions as it did with TDM and Native.

From what i've seen so far vendors still see the AAX DSP versions as a more costly option.
