My Pro Tools Expert colleague Russ Hughes has been busy interviewing folk on this issue of the new AAX format and he managed to grab Dan from Eventide.
It is good news that they are bringing some of the Anothology II plug-ins across but my growing worry is that I may end up with a raft of sessions that use TDM plug-ins that I won’t be able to open properly because they contain TDM plug-ins that haven’t been ported over to AAX. At the moment, it is less of a problem if there is an RTAS version as Avid have made sure that PT10 will use the RTAS version, BUT for those TDM only plug-ins that doesn’t work, which potentonaly is going to mess up the carefully planned backwards compatibility map that Avid have devised. I can see that the AAX transition is going to be somewhat more bumpy that Avid might have wanted. So you TDM only manufacturers please concentrate on porting your TDM plug-ins over to AAX as quickly as possible.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
