Drew and team, can we please get an update on native silicon AAX support?

This forms part of a large body of work we have scheduled in for Q1 and Q2 2024. It isn’t a trivial task and unfortunately we cannot just limit our changes purely to AAX; there are widesweeping audio-wrapper changes we need to make to support the latest M1 native AAX.
It is definitely on the cards, it is just a lot slower than we’d all like.

Nice to hear that you have no interest in Protools users. Makes it much easier to just un install all your software and move along.

As did I. To tell the truth, their support even pre-In Music, was absurd. I gave plenty of proof of how their track building wouldn’t synchronize properly with PT half the time, and just received “Drew”-isms that amounted to “Huh”. No real support. It had such potential. Toontrack is so much more superior.
So still no ETA?, I mean it’s the only one in my plug-in folder that’s not supported

It’s really disappointing, hey?
Uh, yes, I understand they are a small company, but I guess there protools aax client base is small, so not a priority
I thought I saw a thread back in April/June 2024 that there was going to be an AAX beta, I sent question to Drew but never rec’vd any info.
I am same situation, 100’s of projects with BFD samples in pro tools over 15 yr period, stuck using Rosetta for everything so can support BFD, so my Silicon Mac experiences 15% less performance all for one plug in.
I have said before if it is money that is the issue, why not add AAX as a feature and charge $100 per user for upgrade to AAX support, especially if we are such a small population of BFD3 Users.
UPDATE: I dug and found this from Drew, I stand corrected, he did respond (my apologies) and it appears 3.5 with AAX support and ‘bonus’ license manager change in the works,
I have to say per my previous post, it feels a bit ‘Christmasy’ just knowing I might be able to run without Rosetta in 25’ : )
Not holding my breath, committing old session to audio 
…but without any specific commitment to when.
