They so should have called it Pro Tools X!

I'm not a pro tools (cubase and renoise are my mainstay) user so I can't add any more to the discussion I'm afraid.

Hardly a worthwhile post. I'll get my coat...

I watched Avid's live conference video stream at AES and it is pretty impressive.
The latest improvements are targeted towards folks in the video-post world but
many features that music folks will take advantage of.  A lot of complaints about
the upgrade pricing, the cost for HD 10 upgrade is $1000 USD :shock:

But considering the changes that have been made under the hood, the new AAX plugin format
the RAM disk caching and other stuff, it's probably worth it in the long run and sets the future
for Pro Tools on a better course. A single HD-X card has the power of 5 Accel cards now.
Needless to say this will be the last version HD-TDM and all the 3rd party plugin developers
are right now porting their stuff over to the AAX format. It will be easier as one plugin
will be able to run natively or on the DSP cards. They changed other stuff like the
disk buffering and supposedly Pro tools isn't so picky about what external hard drives it uses.

The standard PT 10 software only costs $299 USD for the upgrade which is better than the
$349 I paid last year,so I'm not complaining. However I won't be upgrading anytime too soon
as my wee little 2006 black macbook is nearly out of the range for compatability.
I'm gonna wait a while so I can be all nice and snug with a new mac on OSX Lion and by then
all my plugins will be updated. PT 9.05 and Logic 9.1.5 are solid and everything works for
me at the moment.

Until they bring out PT 11 in about three months time, of course.  ;)

Ha ha ha ha, only two versions too late for me, I'm afraid!  :lol:

I hope this is true, to say that installing Pro Tools tends to be a 'difficult' birth is an understatement! Still, I'll probably be steering clear of the (still very expensive) cross-grade for now, having just invested in Logic Studio.

Someone mentioned PT10 now has realtime fades, where you can just drag the corner of an event and fade in/out.
About bloody time, Avid! Steinberg has had it for years and years, and it's a complete mystery to me why PT and Logic don't have that. Also, adjusting the volume on a piece of audio is a lifesaver when I'm comping vocals and things like that.
Well, happy news for PT users, but I can't believe the major industry standard software is several years late on little basic things like that.

I'm not starting a DAW war here, Nuendo, Cubase, Logic, Reaper, FL and all have other similar issues with other small but important functions.

There's been options in Logic to do fade in/out for ages. The latest version added speed up/slow down in the same place. :)

DAW War is such a strong word when it comes to music software, anyway (and is ALMOST a palindrome) ! ;)

Which reminds me of a fancy dress party my wife and me went to years ago. It was a punk party, so we were both adorned with the obligatory tartan, safety pins and face paint, we'd had a few pre-party drinks beforehand to get us in the mood, then she had the stunning idea of writing 'WAR' on her forehead.
In a mirror.
Slightly tipsy.
Imagine the other partygoers bewilderment upon seeing her wondering around proudly displaying on her noggin in bright red lipstick...
... 'RAW' :D

Oh... never figured it out, I'm usually pulling my beard out when I'm forced to work on Logic on a Mac. Everything is completely different. Well, at least the space-key is "play".  :mrgreen:

I'm still on 8. Doesn't really seem to add a whole lot more other than a plan to make my interfaces obsolete.  :cry:

Apple support will probably suggest you shave your beard then.  ;)
