Q: Is Pro Tools 10 the last new software release for the original Pro Tools|HD hardware?
A: Yes. Pro Tools 10 will be the final full version release to support Pro Tools|HD (TDM) hardware and legacy "Digidesign" audio interfaces, as we make our transition to a full 64-bit application. That said, we're offering fantastic deals to Pro Tools|HD customers to crossgrade to our new Pro Tools|HDX system, which offers up 5x more power than Pro Tools|HD, plus much more headroom for mixing and plug-in processing.
As we move forward, please be aware of the following:
•Pro Tools 10 will be the final feature release for Pro Tools|HD TDM systems
•Pro Tools 10 will be the final supported feature release for legacy Digidesign interfaces and controllers, including:
◦192 I/O
◦192 Digital I/O
◦96 I/O
◦96i I/O
◦SYNC (original "blue")
◦SYNC HD (original "blue")
◦MIDI I/O
◦003 family
◦Mbox 2 family
◦Control|24
◦Command|8
◦Pro Control
Please note that we will continue to offer software updates and address issues for legacy hardware for the foreseeable future.
avid.com/US/resources/AAX-plug-in-compatibility
AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) is Avid’s new advanced plug-in format, offering better workflows and sound parity when sharing sessions between DSP-accelerated and native-based Pro Tools systems. The format comes in two flavors:
•AAX DSP—compatible with Pro Tools|HDX systems only (TDM is not supported in Pro Tools|HDX)
•AAX Native—compatible with any system running Pro Tools/Pro Tools HD 10 software
PS+ TDM больше не будет, и работают плагины этого формата только на "старых" платах, так же как новые DSP плагины только на новых платах
