No. Although I hear mostly good things. I can't do it until Waves & Antares make their plug-ins 64 bit AAX. I understand that may happen in September. I will be upgrading (now on 10) at that time & will be happy to share my experiences then........but beware, I'm grouchy.

So far there's a lot of praise for 11. Until UAD drivers go AAX, I won't even consider it. As it is, I'm sticking to Sonar for now. If you have the cash, the new AAE is probably worth it.

Waves just announced their 64 bit AAX release today. Should check into that!

Pro Tools 11 as a whole is pretty solid (besides the whole 64 bit AAX thing). Really loving the smart plugins. If a track has a blank section with no audio or midi present, then Pro Tools automatically turns off the plugins on that track to save processing power. Still, I'm sticking with 10 for right now and Ableton Live 9.

Well, I'm about to work with 11.. Not mine, I don't own it, but a band that has hired me to mix their latest album is using it.

My problem isn't necessarily the platform, but the repairs I will be facing on tracks recorded by guys who really don't know what they are doing.

I'm hoping the platform won't be fighting me as well.

Let us know how you like it. I'm pretty sure you'll love it. It's a huge improvement over the old engine. If only they would change their pricing policy.

I had to wait 'till Antares did Auto Tune 64 bit AAX but that is now done & I have been using it for a week now.

I'll post some more thoughts later but right off I've got to say that the efficiency of the new engine is amazing. Multiple instances of Auto Tune used to be impossible for me with any reasonable buffer size. That problem is gone. I'm running even my toughest previous session at 64 samples now.

I did have one problem opening old files but I found the solution quickly on the DUC.

So far, I'm very happy.
