SONiVOX - Pro Tools 11 and AAX Plug-in Support FAQ
In July 2013, Avid announced the release of Pro Tools 11. In this release, their proprietary RTAS plug-in format will be replaced by the AAX plug-in format. The AAX format will be the only plug-in format Pro Tools 11 will support. This means that customers with RTAS plug-ins will need to update their instruments and effects before upgrading to Pro Tools 11.
