Kevin, I think this work around with 10.0 and 10.2 is what Stefan (apologies
can't spell correctly) was refering to earlier in this thread. At least from
what I gathered, I think he was suggesting while updating PT to uncheck a
box that would install AAX plugins normally, which would then leave the RTAS
plugs from the previous install of P|T on the system and available to use.
Personally, as I haven't invested in PT yet I'd just be a bit worried that
further updates would phase out RTAS plugs and AAX may not get ffixed, and
I'd also be nervous that if I wished to buy a copy in the future, it
mightn't be so easy or practical to get my hands on a version that isn't
broken.
Which are all valid concerns.
But like you say, none of this is the end of the world, but Avid seem to be
updating PT quite regularly these days, so things could slip away faster
than expected and there might be even more playing catch-up to do in terms
of gaining accessability.
Then again, all this is still less damage then say for example the move from
sonar 8.5 to sonar x1 on the PC side of things, which effectively broke all
accessability entirely, at least until someone develops a product free or
otherwise to address that.
Your thoughts are appreciated on this Kevin, as I would view you as a
professional very much reliant on PT now from what I've gathered.
Unfortunately, for workflow reasons, financial reasons and probably a lack
of confidence I'm still sitting on the fence about PT, but it's the likes of
yourself that give me hope, particularly in the light of these small set
backs as Avid make new releases.
Thanks
Brian.

Subject: Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility
At present, Pro TOols 9.0.6 is solid, and the accessibility issues don't
break till 10.2. So, Those wanting to move to a PT system, 9.06 is the
ticket. The world isn't coming to an end here. It's just that the AAX
format isn't supported. So, don't upgrade. Also, I wonder if one could
install all of the RTAS plugs from 10.0 into the 10.2 environment. Think
all you need to do is copy the plugin file to the plugins folder and then
the setting folders to their respective spots. If this were the case,
you'd still be in business whilst upgrading to the newest rig so you can
take advantage of newer Mac OS upgrades and the like. We're not dead here.
We just need to find a workaround. Your thoughts?
Kevin
