Following the introduction of the Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec (developed in collaboration with the original MP3 inventor), Sonnox has made its Oxford plug-ins compatible with Avid’s new Pro Tools|HDX system.
Launched at the NYC AES Show, Avid’s AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) advanced plug-in format, offers improved workflows and sound parity when sharing sessions between DSP-accelerated and native-based Pro Tools systems. The format comes in two versions: AAX DSP plug-ins compatible exclusively with Pro Tools|HDX (TDM is not supported in Pro Tools|HDX); And, AAX Native plug-ins, compatible with any system running Pro Tools/Pro Tools HD 10 software.
‘The new AAX format will undoubtedly become an established plug-in standard, just as TDM has been,’ says Sonnox Managing Director Rod Densham. ‘In recent months, we have doubled the size of our development team to meet increased demand, and we are working overtime to complete the transition to AAX as soon as possible.’
‘Sonnox consistently sets the pace for superior-sounding, innovative processing for Pro Tools, and we are thrilled to see their portfolio coming to AAX,’ says Ed Gray, Director, of Partnering Programs at Avid. ‘Sonnox plug-ins running on a Pro Tools|HDX system will provide a winning combination for the next generation of audio professionals. We can’t wait to see what Sonnox brings to our users next.’
The Oxford EQ and Oxford Inflator are the first in a line of many AAX plug-ins from Sonnox. They will be available when Pro Tools|HDX ships.
