Think we will get another two weeks to see if this thing will go over the top?

Also the free Studio Rack has Macro controls. You can assign them to any of the controls on any of the fx in the rack. Oh and the Multiband split is not only one split of your choice, it's 5 splits of your choice!! Really nice rack for free!

Yep. About as clear as muddy water!! So, I have a Apollo and a Octo Satellite. If I want to use my Apollo Twin with my Surface for a mobile job, and use my UA plugins on my Surface, from your explanation Larry, that would not be possible. Am I reading that correctly? IOW, the plugins are not tied to the UA hardware, they are tied to the computer/system. But they need a UA hardware dongle to be able to use them. That ain't WAS!

Yes I knew this too. Never went that far with it. I was wondering about a limit on it. Works really well.

Yes, and that's a really kool feature. It also allows a Parallel Split too. Reall a good rack fx. Never thought I would go for that sort of thing till I tried that one out. Looked a little closer at the new IK MixBox and it ain't got some of the fx I was hoping for. Still has a lot. And if you don't have any IK products, this will be a great buy for someone like that. And like Zo says, seems to be made for certain flows of work and if it fits the bill for ya. Seems to be also geared toward live work too.

Waves Studio Rack is pretty kol for being free. It has a splitter in it that you can split the signal and send it to two different fx. Haven't really looked at all the features of the IK rack yet. So not sure what Amplitube fx are with it, but if it's got the TERC chorus, the Amplitube Tube Comp, and the T-Racks Pultec eq, and the Oceanway, and the......

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.

@Zo sale extended till tonight!! Hope for the best all those in the fires out west

That's the article I was referring to.

Zo I am thinking that if it's a card then it's PCI or PCIe.

Got some good deals to be had here. Time to bump the thread!

Yes thank you very much. And thank Larry too. His comment made me realize it wouldn't last long. So I took the time out to get it, register it, and done!!

Agreed. I wish there were a way to limit the output of EZB to just standard 4 strings.

I cashed in on this!! Already got serial in my account!!

Here is a link to that thread. It's old and hasn't been updated in a while. But from looking it over you get the gist of it. I am relatively new to the UA world also. Last sale I used the buy 3 get 4 deal to get the ones I really wanted. This new deal they have looking at it seems to be the best bang for buck would be the 3 for $299. That's 42% discount. Unless you want the whole shebang and get the Ultimate 8. There is also a guy that has a really detailed 'buying pratices' in relation to UA sales year round. Can't find it right now. Not at home.

Has anyone reported it? The Bandlab guys seem to be responsive to the forums problems.

I know what you're saying. Like I said in an earlier post, I just now got Miroslav and Syntronik sounds installed two days ago!! And I remember why it went like that, I got tired of installing all the ST2, 3 and 4 sounds. So, I took a break then life happened, and I forgot all about them!!

That's what I can't figure out, why? It never asks me for my real name!!! Watch out Larry, it wants something from you!!

Now he's Larry again!! What's going on?!!

Let us know if you get IKPM to see and use those files on the USB stick.

Not for anything big. Unless you consider MODO Drums one of the big items. That install went flawlessly like abacab says. LOL!! I don't know about saving me weeks, but it surely would have saved me many days!! In fact, I just recently finished transferring all my Miroslav and Syntronik content to the new computer and installing all these sounds. I can tell you this, even if you put the zip files or the unzipped files in the d/l folder you have told IKPM to use, it still will not recognize that they are already d/l and are it's folder. So I had to install all that manually. : (

i am going to wait a little longer for this one to come down in price. Believe it or not, ST4 has some really good sounding organs when you put the Leslie after them. And for the time being, that's what I am using. I just really wanted to bump this thread!

That was a great deal!! You won't regret it. As much s**t as I talk about PA, those SSL channel strips are really good. And all the Lindell plugins. And the MAAG pluings. And the Townhouse comp

This is why I still use Acronis. It always has since I started using it I wondered about that when I first started using it. But other tech friends I know told me don't worry about it. It won't mess with the system. And in all the years of using it, it never came up as a cause for my trouble, nor have I ever thought about uninstallinng it. In fact, with the last three or four builds, it's the first thing I install right after Windows. I take a full clean image in case I need a new starting point. BTW, I have never used that image on any of my music machines. 🤞 That's what Acronis does for me. And I could have kept using the older version, I was still on v17, but I want to stay updated as best I can and this price was a no brainer!! I started out buying v10 (not 12), then going to v12, then v17, and now v21. So I don't always keep it up to date. Exactly. In fact there is only one thing that Acronis does that sometimes gets under my skin is when I go to restart or shut down, Acronis will tell me that it has to shut down a task it was doing before machine can shut down or restart. And that can take up to a minute.

Larry, I know you know this, but just to make it clear, I was referring to the name change. I mostly look at the avatar to see who it is. 😁
