My Pro Tools Expert colleague Russ Hughes has done an extended interview with Bobby Lombardi from Avid that you really should watch. It is over 16 minutes long but I wish this video had been around when Pro Tools 10 was launched.
Bobby explains that HD users aren’t going to abandoned that they will support the HD platform for another 3 years including bringing out fixes and updates. He also has gone a very long way to restore my confidence in Avid and that they do care about the user and especially the pro user.
If Avid had gone on camera at the Pro Tools 10 launch and explained things as Bobby has done on this video I don’t think we would have had half the problems and bitterness that has been banded about.
Also top marks to David Gould for getting the feature that came out from the Pro Tools in house ‘hackerthon’ so we could easily see where our routing is coming from and going to, a little talked about feature in Pro tools 10
If I had seen this video I am sure I would have waited to jump to HDX knowing that as an HD user I wasn’t about to be abandoned that the cross grade deals would hold and so I could have better chosen the time scale for my transition to HDX when everyone had reworked their plug-ins to AAX etc.
Don’t forget if you want to the latest on where all the manufacturers are up to on AAX plug-ins then you can go the database on our Pro Tools Expert site.

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."
