    Honestly happy to hear that it might be worthwhile.  The graphic appearance and marketing shtick stopped me from looking further at it.  I love XO and it is well worth the $$, but I might not have given it a close look if it featured a jumping monkey. 🙏

    I personally hate the dumb*** graphics, but it works better than it looks. I would not have pulled the trigger without the 60-day guarantee.

    Yeah I remember you, I was a member 2016-2018 ...things have taken off since then so I'm not now but I still post there

    Congrats on things taking off! I've had some minor successes but I'm spread too thin with too many other responsibilities to give it the focus and commitment it needs.

    Edit: PS. Did you used to be on the Taxi forums ? I recognize the name from somewhere

    Yes, I used to hang out there a lot. I'm sort of on again, off again with Taxi.

    I have XO has well, but I didn't realize it generated drum loops. I probably overthink it when it comes to a drum groove and get concerned that people well-versed in a genre will recognize I just dropped in to write a quick hip-hop or EDM cue. I think this tool gives me a little more confidence that I'm getting the basics of the genre correct.

  4. I guess ya'll will have to tag me as a sucker. 🤡  I bought this (at a discount to the price shown) and I'm loving it so far. If you work in a lot of different genres, it's helpful to have something put out a reasonably authentic groove to get started with. You can tweak as needed or just generate new drum loops until you get something you like. You can load in your own samples if you don't like the sounds it chooses. And then you can drag out midi or audio either as all in one or as stems. So far, I'm finding it to be a tremendous workflow accelerator.

    I have enough sounds I don't need that I probably wouldn't notice.

    The look on my wife's face when I mentioned that if I auditioned the sounds on my computer at the rate of one every 10 seconds all day, every day, I would not hear every sound I own before I die.

    Of course, I'm much too busy buying new sounds to audition my sounds in this way. 🤔

  6. Heresy I know, but I was going to try to actually use some of my group buy goodies!

    Why does the plugin in Cubase tell me it's not activated when Custom Shop and IK Product Manager tells me it's installed and authorized?

    And, since this is the GB thread, yay group buy! 10K here we come!

    EDIT: This behavior happens with all the new plugins I've tested so far.

  7. I'm trying to figure out what to get with my second entry at the 149.99 level. Arc 3 plus mic also got me TRacks Deluxe under the mix on the go promotion. I've picked up Comprexxor and Space Delay. But now I can't decide. For example, why would I use Master EQ 432 if I have Pro Q 3? Why would I use Stealth Limiter if I have Pro L 2? Not being argumentative, just genuinely curious. Just don't know if I should go with something that alters the sound in interesting ways (like the TRacks Leslie) or get mastering gear that duplicates things I own. Also thinking about the Tape Machines, but I'm pretty happy with Acustica Taupe for that. 

  8. I mean, ***** is great, but have you ever gotten six pieces of music gear for the price of one?

    Edit: wow, this is a clean forum. You can probably figure out what the stars used to be.

    Edit: It looks like you can get the ARC System w mic crossgrade which includes the offer for T-Racks 5 Deluxe directly from IKM for around $105 if you have Jam Points which is tempting.
     

    I'm not seeing this deal at IKM (including TR Deluxe). Is there a code or a special page?

     

    Edit: NVM, found it.
