Just as an addendum, I can't imagine that this will be software only as this would surely equate to an RTAS plug-in rather than an update to the Eleven Rack. Equally they couldn't really call it anything else as a hardware update would have meant a Twelve Rack.
The glass is definately half-full (probably even more than half)in my book!
Per TheChimp over on the DUC:
"Didn't I answer that?
You do have to have a PC to INSTALL the new firmware and Pro Tools elements (if you use Pro Tools), but all of the new stuff is available in standalone, with or without a PC connected. Just like it is now.
And we will be supporting Pro Tools 8 and Pro Tools 9 with this update (but we are dropping PowerPC...had to happen sometime...). As of right now, we will support Pro Tools 8.0.4 and 9.0.1 (or whatever other dot-updates happen between now and March). You'll get exactly the same features whichever version of Pro Tools you're using."And also...All of the new features are available in standalone or with a PC. I think you'll find that although we weren't able to get to all of the top-tier requests, the Expansion Pack will greatly increase the possibilities with Eleven Rack.
We hit a good number of the top-tier items from ideascale and the DUC, and all of your input was key to making this update happen. Thanks everyone!
Of course, there were things we didn't have time for, but we did DOUBLE the number of amps and cabs, added a Stereo Dynamic Delay, Parametric EQ, clean compressor, Bass amps and more...and our team is committed to delivering on as many of the remaining requests as possible in a future update.
For now, enjoy all of the new tonal possibilities! I may be biased, but I really think that it's a very worthwhile update.This is friggin AWESOME NEWS!!!!
They are including way more stuff than what I thought that they would! I'm geeking over the AMPEG SVT BASS rig, the stereo delay, the speaker breakup, the Dyn3 Compressor/Limiter, and the
PARAMETRIC EQ baby!!
Of course, the new amp models and more speaker cabinets are killer also! And at $99, the price is very reasonable! I was worried that it would fall in the $250.00 range....WHEW!
Come March 22nd......
HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!.
Hope they can stay on their release schedule.
