Plug-in manufacturers have been updating their products to the 64 bit AAX format since the release of Pro Tools 11 earlier this year. While some of the plug-ins are pretty much the same as they were in previous versions, others have been completely revamped and expanded. iZotope just announced Nectar 2 Production Suite which updates Nectar and adds a lot more functions. For me, this is one of the last plug-ins that I was waiting for in order for Pro Tools 11 to become fully functional. I look forward to experimenting with the new features and hope to provide a review of the plug-in.
