Structure: No Drag and Drop?? gone in aax

[Rectifried]

rant++

so finally got "stucture" with this update... and looked carefully at videos before commiting to get all these instruments...

the ONLY thing I thought was worthy about stucture was drag and f'in drop from the timeline... as kontact works well for most else..

soooooo the f'ion axx does NOT do this anymore..?!?

Why would anyone use this? over Kontact

I bought the AIR stuff many years ago thinking that , PT stank with VIs sooo bad that these PT endorsed, would work better...

but really they didnt. so I never bought anymore.. now commited to the bundle, Im let down out of the gate again.

I couldnt drag and drop with the free vers, but "stupidly " thought it was a feature that the demos shows in the paid...
in the end I have 60 gigs of more stuff..
but no drag and drop..
I cant even get my head around finding stuff in this thing... wtf?!?

yes I "will" RTFM... but a decade + into this it should be intuitive to the initiated

It was an exploit of a bug in RTAS.

Word is they are trying to figure out how to do it in AAX but no promises

[Eric Lambert]

Are you saying that the AAX protocol doesn't 'allow' drag-and-drop???

[Shan]

Drag & drop works when dragging from the OS desktop or file manager and dropping into the PT edit window, track list, clip list, or an open plug-in like Structure Free. Dragging from the PT edit window, clip list, or workspace and dropping into an open plug-in is a function that no longer works. More info from Avid here.

So it's functionality which is possible but has been excluded from AAX.

Most plugins would be unaffected by this. Some would rely on it.

It has not been absolutely excluded per se. It didn't make it to AAX yet as the RTAS method of doing it was a kludge and they decided that if this we're going to be done in AAX, it needed to be supported by the API. When it'll get added to the API is anybodies guess.


Parroted on my iPad with Tapasquawk.

In addition to AAX engineer Dave Tremblay's post in June here on the forum, he expanded on this a bit more in this article the same day on the Pro Tools Expert website.

Altiverb 7 also supports drag and drop of clips to the plug-in window to allow very convenient creation of new IRs, which is fantastically convenient. I sincerely hope this functionality is added to the API. It will only encourage more developers to make use of this great tool where it's appropriate.

You can drag audio from the PT 11 Edit/Arrange Window and drop it into Altiverb 7?
