Go watch the roll-out videos on YouTube, they're still there (last I checked anyway), and see if you don't agree. I assure you, if you had asked Avid at the PT10/HDX rollout if the HDX "infrastructure" would or would not support convolution reverb plugins (or any plugins) as well as HD, they would have told you it absolutely would - far better than HD. He's pointing directly to the HDX "infrastructure" compared to the HD "infrastructure", not how hard it is to write in general relative to other types of plugins. Again, what he said was: "This is because the current AAX DSP infrastructure is not ready for a plug-in with the capabilities like Altiverb TDM." - please note the word "infrastructure". I do not recall AVID ever saying that convolution reverbs (DSP) were anticipated as easy or commonplace in HDX systems, especially not this close to introduction.
With HDX you first solidify Native and then go to work on DSP. The work done on making this function on TDM is not easily translated to HDX. They require a ton of memory and perhaps chip sharing. The difficulty isn't what's really holding AE back like a lot of vendors they don't see the need to get AAX and AAX dsp out now.Ĭonvolution reverbs are not the same as typical plug-ins. So it's taking longer than some want but still it's happening for some plugin vendors who aren't afraid to get their elbows dirty with code. He's got more stuff to port than AE who only have what 2 plugs? Colin already has AAX native and has public beta AAX dsp as I understand it. You are refusing to acknowledge that Colin is coming out with his stuff way faster than Audio Ease. There is absolutely no case whatsoever that porting to AAX-DSP is not difficult. They specifically said they gave up because porting to AAX-DSP was too difficult. And of course, the most important of them all, Waves, threw in the towel completely and isn't going to port any of their plugs to AAX-DSP at all. Avid themselves sold their own entire "Air" line rather than port them to AAX, let alone AAX-DSP. iZotope is saying they probably won't EVER take it on (which is especially bad news). Only a couple of those companies have even gotten their FIRST AAX-DSP port out. McDSP is definitely not "coming out with their AAX stuff so quickly" by even the wildest stretch of the imagination.Īnd Massey, and UA, and Flux::, and URS, and East West, and Sonnox, and Antares, and Melodyne, and Sound Toys, and Eventide, and Lexicon, and on and on and on are ALSO just under a year and a half out making slow if any progress.
Instead it turned out to be HUGELY more difficult than he thought which is why we're nearly a year and a half into it and he still has only released about 1/2 of them. At least, as you say, it's a good sign they are at least working on AAX native.īased on what Avid was saying at the PT10 launch around Thanksgiving 2011, McDSP's Colin McDowell and therefore everyone else expected they'd have ported that entire line by the end of Q2 2012 at the latest. If writing for AAX dsp is so difficult how can a one man shop like McDSP be coming out with their AAX stuff so quickly? Altiverb is dragging their feet just like they always do. will take serious development time"), but it's "not ready for a plug-in the capabilities like Altiverb TDM" !!! Meaning, as it stands, HDX isn't even capable of supporting what HD can, at least in this case!! Think of all the things Avid has told us (especially at the PT10 launch) that this direct measurement of reality contradicts. But the rest of it is absolutely amazing !! They're specifically saying that not only is it hard to write to AAX-DSP contradicting the story Avid has been telling everyone from the beginning (".

So of course its great news that they intend to support AAX-DSP once they figure out how to do it. But do rest assured, we are working on AAX DSP."

Altiverb 7 AAX Native will therefore come first, to make sure everyone can keep on using Altiverb 7 (also in Pro Tools 11 and on). This is a large project and will take serious development time. This is because the current AAX DSP infrastructure is not ready for a plug-in with the capabilities like Altiverb TDM.
We are currently working closely with AVID to find out how we can accomplish this (Altiverb AAX DSP). I quickly received the candid response from Aram Verwoest directly quoted below (with their permission): I sent "Audio Ease" an email a few days ago asking them if they were ever going to port Altiverb 7 to AAX-DSP.
