  1. In my opinion, as a point of reference, this should have been free to Total Studio Max, or even T-Racks Max owners... and then had the price of about $99 for everyone else on intro offer. Even Soundtoys gives their "Rack" Plugin to owners of their "Everything" bundle (and on sale now for $99). I think that the retail of $199 isn't "off" too far considering the Soundtoys Rack is $299, but heavy investors need to be thrown a "bone" every now and then to keep them "appeased" if you will for investing so much money! Even Waves includes just about every new plugin they release in their Mercury Bundle! THIS area seems to be where IK, again, "fails to hit the target"...repeatedly. They're great at giving NEW customers "incentives", but always neglect the long time "heavy investors"! Those "bones" are what keeps people who have invested heavily "enthused" about owning a company's products (and upgrading). And it also gives the "newbies" something to "shoot for" down the road. But that's just MO...

  2. Just to point out...we already have Slate VMR Soundtoys Effects Rack McDSP Ultimate EQ PSP InfiniStrip Waves StudioRack And a ton of other VST host applications Etc...ad nauseum....we have a plethora of these types of tools already at our disposal... and what IK should have done was considered that when launching this. $299.99 retail is in line with Soundtoys, but out of line with the rest. $199.99 is still out of line, and with the $99 crossgrade offer for existing users, we STILL should be able to use Jampoints, and that would have created an offer where far less people would "balk" at this. Most of us ALREADY have all the processors, so paying even $99 for a "Rack" just to be able to use our Plugins in the "500 Series" format VIRTUAL Rack Space, just doesn't really get me "excited", and really does nothing for me that I really can't already do! It's like the Pro Channel, which is nothing more than a "glorfied" second VST effects bin with a Proprietary interface! It's really kewl, I'll admit, but is it "really" necessary? Nope.

  4. I like the 500 series concept. I bought Slate VMR when it first came out. What I don't like is paying for stuff a second time. That's why I stopped using Slate digital Trigger and bought Addictive Trigger. Addictive Trigger allows the use of samples from your Addictive Drums collection while Slate Digital Trigger doesn't allow you to use the samples from SSD. I would love the ability to use my T-Racks, Syntronik and Amplitube processors in that environment but not enough to pay for them again. With all due respect to IK, that's a fair price for an awesome product (MIxbox) if you haven't already purchased these processors in the past. Rocky

  6. I’m saving my money for the upcoming VaporBox series plugins... MODO BASS LH We're proud to announce MODO BASS Left-Handed. It's exactly the same as MODO BASS except we've changed the pictures of the instruments to reflect the different string order. $199 Syntronic BW We're excited to introduce Syntronic BW. It's identical to Syntronic, but we've reversed the color of the keys: black is white and white is black! $199 AmpliTube PLUG+ The greatest achievement in our flagship VaporBox series is AmpliTube PLUG+. Our brilliant artisan engineers have meticulously modeled amplifiers with *large* electrical plugs. True, there's absolutely no difference in sound compared to the small-plug version, but you'd be absolutely crazy not to add this *powerful* (get it?) new upgrade to your arsenal. $199 But wait! Previous owners of the tired, old, boring original versions of these products are entitled to the *special* upgrade price of only $999! Hurry! Act now! Quantities are limited!

  8. @DeeringAmpsSyntronik isn't really a synth. It just sounds like one. Lots of great synth samples of classic synthesizers, if you want to use them in your arrangements. But if you are more into guitar music, and the Syntronik demo doesn't inspire you, then you probably have answered your own question. Personally I find a lot of inspiration from classic progressive rock with a heavy use of synthesizers. Never played guitar, though. But the first time I heard Bach played though a Moog, I was sold! I really think the Hammond sounds great! I am not an organist, but I'm sure I will find a use for those classic Hammond sounds. Plus it is modeled, rather than sampled, so it has a modest footprint and the presets load quickly. Also I could see the MODO Bass quickly become my go-to bass instrument, simply because I can quickly select from a range of bass models, such as a P-Bass, Jazz Bass, Rick, etc. and start playing. They sound really good as far as basses go without any tweaking. I'm undecided about MODO Drums. I'm not a drummer, or a drum geek, so infinite possibilities of tweaking my kit looks like it could become a waste of time. I do like how you can quickly select different room spaces. But so far XLN Audio Addictive Drums is my main kit.

  14. Thanks for the kind words. For the next AmpliTube the chains (whole chain plus stomp/rack/etc) will be different than AmpliTube 4 but not quite like MixBox either. As for what's included, that's a great question - there's a lot I'd have to check out the current list but... Can't tell much more at this time

  15. I went ahead and picked this up -- I have lots of crowd sound effects but I've not seen a playback engine/system. This is kind of weak as far as Kontakt instruments/crowd playback engines go though. The download zip fails to install on Windows because the license agreement file is named "Crowd Hype User Manual | User Agreement.pdf" which when uncompressed on a PC becomes "Crowd Hype User Manual _ User Agreement.pdf" I really get tired of Mac filenames. But despite the Pulse downloader reporting the error you do get everything. They have saved the patched as a Kontakt monolith where the script and the samples are all saved together. When I re-saved it with the samples separately there are only 13 samples: Crowd Whoa Vocals.wav Crowd Claps Master.wav Stomp & Clap.wav Holler Stomp bounce.wav Patriots 8 Line Level_Whistle_2.wav Crowd_Cheer_Line_6_Reactions_V02.wav Crowd_Cheer_Line_6_Reactions_V01.wav Crowd_Cheer_Line_1_V02.wav Crowd_Cheer_Line_1_V01.wav Crowd_Cheer_2_Verb.wav Patriots 6 Line Level_2_Verb.wav Patriots 3_Line_3.wav You can watch their videos to see how they work. The Kontakt instrument script isn't encrypted. It's basically just those samples mapped to keys with the mod wheel. There is a lot of potential here for a much better product. But they would need a lot more samples and a much more complex instrument. I think this is slightly overpriced to be honest (even the sale price). It should be like $15 at Kontakt Hub not $79. If you are looking for some crowd sound effects you might want to check out https://www.freetousesounds.com/ They are selling full access to everything for $20 in the All In One Bundle https://www.freetousesounds.com/product/all-in-one-sound-library-bundle/ While it's very painful to download things from their cloud provider, the Pro Edited By Zapsplat batch 4 has 12 "American football crowd" sounds that are pretty good long recordings. Not to mention all the other sound effects included. I've downloaded about 281gigs of sounds from them and have easily gotten my $20 out of it.

  17. Woaw how did i missed this launch lol ...been super busy ...this one looks exellent .... i don t think it s redundant with what amplitube and tracks proposes , it s finally what i think should have been done , a way to get those two to interacte quikly ... It s really a product that answers a typical phase in production that i love .... this pahse when you want to build quick clothes to sounds and let thel printvtheir style in the mix later ... Congrats !! @Peter , do younthink we can expect amplitube to integrate this type of rack in the futur and tracks as well ? ( amp stuff in tracks and tracks stuff in amplitube )?

  19. Edit: Modified my original post after due consideration. I like the format of these kind of channel strips and it's nice that IKM has come out with their version. But they're a little late to the game - Slate, McDSP, PSP & others already have versions on the market. And like Larry and a number of others here I already own everything T-Racks (or close enough) so paying $99 to get what i already have in a new format doesn't really sit well with me. The price should be proportional to what you own of T-Racks. Own 10% of library - 10% off Own 50% of the library - 50% off Own 80% of the library - 80% off Own 80 to 100% of the library - maybe a $20 minimal fee. Reward customer loyalty, don't milk it.

  23. I will try to answer your question based on what I do with it. I am a guitarist. Like Larry, I had to work many many hours, day after day, year after year, to be able to play decently. And I have always wanted a synth in my toolbox. Mostly to do stuff like Heart, Head East, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Rush, .... you get the picture. I have ST2, 2.5, 3, and now 4. Also have Dimension Pro, Rapture Pro, and of Z3TA (That thing sounds great). I mostly used Dim Pro before I switched to Sample Tank 3, then 4. I have used the bass sounds to compliment/add to the sound on my bass that I played. Same with some of the kicks and toms that come with these programs. I have used the pianos, horns, world instruments from Dim Pro and ST. I have even tried to use the vocal sounds that came with these programs. I could go on with examples, but I am sure you're getting a picture by now. Surely the most fun I have with all these synth programs is going through the presets and fiddling around with them and getting something I like and then coming up with a little riff/ progression that I want to use in a song/begin a song. I must have 20 - 30 of these things recorded. Little ditties that I took a fancy to and will one day use. That's how I use a synth.

  26. I think bluzdog has the right idea of by starting to go through some presets. I think I got the hang of synths from the book how to make a sound. and really playing around with Z3TA+2. I still love this synth!

  27. My stumbling block is I'm left handed and when I tried guitar it seemed worse then trying to learn a foreign language. I'm actually looking to go in another direction and hopefully get a wind controller to learn. I always wanted to learn how to play one and I have plenty of sounds to try out

  32. I used to mock people who watch dog 'n cat videos, too. Get a frickin' life, I'd say. Well, a few years ago I was stricken with excruciating back pain that lasted for 2 years before finally remedying it through surgery. It was a truly miserable period of my life. Sleep was elusive. I couldn't lie down, had to sleep in a chair. No matter how much you bundle up your feet still get cold when you're sleeping in a chair. A handful of Vicodins would grant me maybe 20 minutes of sleep at a time. I could feel sanity slowly slipping away from sleep deprivation. Then one day around 3:00 AM I ran across a bunch of puppy and kitten videos while attempting to distract my brain from the pain. It was oddly relaxing. It soon became part of my nightly ritual. I'd mute the TV and zone out to happier thoughts. Now that I can sleep and walk again there's no longer any need for that, but I credit puppies and kittens for keeping me from going crazy during that time.

  37. I've had this happen to me twice - once on a headphone jack, and once on my old Yamaha AX44 interface. On both occasions I failed to remove it from the front using precision tweezers or the superglue technique. I ended up opening the units up and pushing the tip back towards the front, using a thin screwdriver pushed in from the back of the socket. You only need to push it past the connector that's clamping it in - once it's past that, it should just fall out.
