Hope these help…..

This is what they have said in their latest newsletter.  The last sentence is what is important for Pro Tools users…

We are pleased to announce that 64-bit versions of our Mac AU and VST plug-ins are now available:

Power Suite 5.60
Master Restoration 5.60
Tube Saturator 1.10
Dialog 1.10

These can be found on our Downloads page, and are a free upgrade for existing customers of these products (i.e. version 5 of any Power Suite and Master Restoration plug-ins, or any version of Tube Saturator or Dialog).

This update also fixes AudioSuite compatibility with Pro Tools 10.

Thank you,

The Wave Arts Team

Note that this is NOT for HDX users who should be running 10.1 which is is only for HDX systems. It will be interesting to see if they have included the latest AAX plug-ins that are in the 10.1 installer in this 10.0.1 installer. Please let me know what you find.

Issues Resolved in Pro Tools 10.0.1

Pro Tools no longer quits unexpectedly when starting playback before the Timeline Cache completes caching.

Pro Tools no longer quits unexpectedly when bus recording with Elastic Audio enabled.
Pro Tools no longer quits unexpectedly when dragging a clip from a Tick-based track with volume automation to a new track.
Pro Tools no longer posts 9092, 9093, or 9094 errors in certain unwarranted situations, such as when pressing play after opening a session or when previewing audio from a CD in the Import Audio dialog.
Note that 9092, 9093 and 9094 errors can still occur when a system is being run under demanding loads, including small buffer settings on non-DSP based systems. In these cases, enabling Playback Error Suppression can allow you to continue, at the possible expense of sound quality. There are also known cases of plug-ins causing these types of errors. You can determine if a plug-in is at fault by removing plug-ins one type at a time until the problem goes away. Then create a new session with just that plug-in to see if the errors occur there. If they do, please report this to Avid and also to the manufacturer of the plug-in. Reporting to both will help get the problem solved more quickly.
Audio now plays consistently from Elastic Audio clips after copying them in the timeline.
Clip Gain on Elastic Audio clips now plays correctly.
Bus recording audio with clip gain applied no longer results in unintended artifacts being recorded.
Plug-in types are now correctly converted when moving sessions between an HDX system and a non-HDX system.
When opening a session from an HDX system on a non-HDX system. DSP plug-ins convert to Native plug-ins if they are available. If the same session is re-opened on an HDX session, the original choices of which plug-ins were DSP and which were Native will be reinstated.
Pressing an Edit Mode keyboard shortcut (F1-F4) simultaneously with a Tool shortcut (F5-F10) no longer incorrectly engages the Smart Tool. The Smart Tool is only engaged when pressing combinations of the F6-F8 shortcuts.
When recording audio stems from audio tracks that use Send outputs, printed audio on destination tracks with outputs set to “none” is now properly time-aligned.
Tracks not selected when using the Export Selected Tracks as New Session command no longer appear in the Import Session Data dialog. – Any sessions created in Pro Tools 10 using the Export Selected Tracks as New Session command will still show all the original ses- sion tracks in the Import Session Data dialog. To avoid this, either use the Export Selected Tracks as New Session command with Pro Tools 10.0.1 to create a new session, or change the track order in the session and save it in 10.0.1.
Bypass and Mute automation are now adjusted correctly in a track when a clip is deleted.
Plug-in automation is now copied correctly between multi-mono and multi-channel versions of the same plug-in.
The transport now performs reliably when using 9-pin Machine Control combined with Satellites and Video Satellite.
Under 9-pin control, the Shuttle function now operates at the correct speeds.
Pro Tools now plays in sync while in Remote Mode.
Pro Tools now locks correctly while in Remote Mode when controlled from a deck via SoundMaster ION.
Satellite sync now operates reliably in Destructive Punch mode when systems are controlled from 9-pin devices and commands are issued shortly after transport starts.
When Transport = Machine, FF/REW commands now work correctly after issuing multiple commands.

Pro Tools now remains responsive after you change the computer name in the Mac OS X hostconfig file (as recommended in the System 5 and Pro Tools Guide ) and then disconnect the computer from the Internet.

Pro Tools now correctly imports files from a Mix and Matched Media Composer session.
After consolidating from source files during AAF import, Original Time Stamps are now correctly compensated, preserving field recorder matches.
The Import Rendered Audio FX in Import Session Data setting is now correctly enabled by default.
You can now drag a file directly to a Field Recorder Guide Track without disabling the Field Recorder Guide Track setting.
Field recorder files that cross midnight now correctly match other field recorder files with time stamps after midnight.
Pro Tools with Avid Interplay now allows you to enter up to 99 characters (the previous limit was 31 characters) in the Set Tape ID dialog.
Pro Tools with Interplay now posts a warning to prevent overwriting a sequence when using Send to Playback.
When doing a Send to Playback with Interplay, if a sequence with the same Tape ID already exists on the playback server, Pro Tools now posts a warning dialog that allows you to edit the tape ID or cancel the command, preventing accidental overwriting of the sequence.
If a sequence is given a Tape ID by an Avid video editor, the Set Tape ID dialog in Pro Tools now defaults to that Tape ID when doing a Send to Playback via Interplay.
On Mac OS X 10.7.x (Lion), installing the Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack after installing Pro Tools now correctly installs the plug-ins.  If you install the Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack (PTIEP) before installing Pro Tools on a system running Mac OS X 10.7.x (Lion), no plug-ins will appear in the Pro Tools inserts menu. To avoid this, install Pro Tools first, then install the PTIEP. If you installed the PTIEP first, you must uninstall both Pro Tools and the PTIEP, then reinstall Pro Tools first, followed by the PTIEP.
The Pro Tools 10.0.1 installer correctly moves previously installed Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack (PTIEP) content to the new Applications/Avid folder instead of deleting it.

Following on from my research and Russ Hughes’ conversations and interviews at NAMM 2012 we have set up  a database on our Pro Tools Expert site which will be crowd sourced information so please follow the link to check on the latest news about your favourite plug-in and whether and when it will be available as an AAX plug-in. I have transferred and updated all the information that was here to the Pro Tools Expert database. Everyone os welcome to contribute users and manufacturers alike.

Now for me going to the HD Native card instead of HDX won’t solve it because my biggest problem is the number of TDM only plug-ins that mean I have a raft of sessions I cannot open. The main culprit being SoundToys’ Pitch Doctor.  Yes, I can run RTAS versions of the rest which I could on an HD Native system, so that doesn’t fix it for me.

So perhaps I should reinstate my HD2 cards in my shiny new Mac Pro and put the HDX card on the shelf. Some manufacturers have done well but nearly all my ‘go to’ plug-ins are yet to be released in AAX versions like Flux, Massey, and Waves. So my lovely HDX card sitting in computer very underused. I do plan to make friends with Avid’s new channel strip plug-in but in early attempts at using it  I haven’t got on with the GUI on it, but I do plan to persevere.

However it does seem to be a chicken and egg shaped problem. Manufacturers will be reticent to invest in recoding their plug-ins to AAX unless people buy the HDX cards, and users will be reticent to buy HDX cards unless their favourite plug-ins are available to run on them.

It is disappointing that Avid haven’t even managed to produce AAX versions of their AIR plugins or their Virtual Instruments. Don’t get me started on Waves’ response,  I find it bizarre that they are downgrading their release of AAX versions and may not even do AXX versions at all. How to alienate the top end professionals in one easy step.

But in tracking this saga I am now picking up reports that HDX cards on on back order with some suppliers quoting up to a 5 week delay in supplying HDX hardware. So has Avid under estimated demand, in which case this is yet another part of the chicken and egg equation to add into the mix?

What’s your take on it?  Do cadd your comments to this thread, thanks.

So March 2012 is going to be very busy for Waves as they plan to bring out 64 bit versions, out, as well as v9 of Waves, then a “no iLok authorisation” method also due out in March. As to AAX, Scott has announced they definitely plan to support AAX Native but “v9 is priority” and so no firm dates for release of AAX version of their plug-ins. As to the AAX DSP versions, it isn’t a no, BUT they have no firm plans as to when they might do it and it still could possibly be a no. So AAX Native “will be supported 100%” but it is still a maybe on AAX DSP and no time frame but I think we can assume AAX Native isn’t going to happen before March.

Well I am sorry Waves, I am not sure I can wait that long, I want good quality plug-ins that will work on my HDX card, so just as you can’t guarantee that you will have Waves AAX DSP plug-ins I can use, I cannot guarantee that I am going to be able to wait that long. In my opinion you have you priorities misplaced however I accept that I am possibly one of a small percentage of Waves users with Pro Tools HDX system.

 

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.
