The referenced spreadsheet has all the info you're looking for. I wouldn't be sure that spreadsheet is perfectly fine. I have Sampletank 4 MAX and I didn't find in My Products some of the newer instruments from the so called "collection series" i.e. LA Confidental, Alternate Keys, Clavitube or the Hitmakers (any of them). Could someone confirm? Or did they add them to "Sound Download" in My Products section after my downloads expired? But anyway according to this and this detailed instrument lists the above aren't in the ST4 MAX.

While I agree with you, I think I get the general idea of software being more maintained instead of developed. I'm getting to the point where I'm starting being tired with all the Win10 updates crap as I still remember very well decades of freedom on XP and Win7, where I could really do what I want, do some music or anything or just close the computer and walk away. It is no more since I "upgraded" to Win10, I feel like they poses my machine, I'm constantly bombarded with updates, infos, marketing crap, that is all really distracting and discouraging (shame I didn't take the photo of Cakewalk app open with closed all projects, just waiting for next session - in the background - and in foreground a kind of semi-transparent full-screen announcement that my computer has installed latest updates and is ready for a restart). So I personally would rather prefer things to calm down a bit and do updates only when necessary and not each time a developer finds out a new cool feature, and just leave alone things that are working fine.

Is it an older installation from before the IK Product Manager was released? I only see one Custom Shop and I have AmpliTube, T-RackS, and SampleTank installed. The old CS came with previous versions like T-Racks 4, etc. If you didn't have any of them you might have only the most recent CS version on your system. Also there's the Authorization Manager (different from the new IK Product Manager), that one still installs with the ARC3 soft.

I'm on Windows. If I'd be ever getting a Mac, sure I'll afford the extra $7 for re-download 😜

Second entry is necessary, Kevin.

yep these EQ73 and 81, I also like their take on the Pultec (EQP-1A), the Bus comp, White 2A and the classics the reverbs are really useful if you have slots for them if you feel like you'd use them then don't overlook the leslies as to the tapes I like 99 the most but most people seem to prefer 24

No, I don't have, I think it was just a temporary, arbitrary state of the mood... as if it was a woman (but not only, according to my recent experience)

Is it me or the official GB counter's emo is getting a bit of tone...?

In the previous group buys the IKM support was always kind enough to make people through the GB even if there was a lag in shipping, as long as your receipt says that your purchase was within the GB timeframe you should be fine. Yeah I got it by reading the thread it's all about the competition vs kvr. Hilarious!

Me... eventually.

I think they might be actually making music in their studios.

What the heck! I'm always keeping up to date with this thread. Suddenly I saw there are 2 new *pages* (!) waiting so I've done one quickly and now there are 3 more waiting 🤔. While doing the readout of the last page I can see there are new posts coming as I read, LOL So I finished the thread, got back to the main deals forum page and, believe or not, a fresh new posts unread 🤦‍♂️ Just wondering what is going on here, did IKM double-up the free products count per entry by a chance...?

Ah shame I've used my voucher already.

Great, now we only need to wait for a sale... how many years I wonder if ever? I just bought Scarbee funk guitarist for about $25 on kvr so I'm good for some time. This one sounds not bad though.

For sure, was posted last minute! I saw 24H and got back to what I was doing at that time... lucky you who jumped on it right away. I'll stick with my 2 copies

Sounds like a ground loop. If you're using a laptop try to disconnect the charger for a moment and see if the buzzing disappear.

Put it in the cart and go to checkout to see if they are willing to sell it to you based on your location. At the checkout I'd been greeted with a pup-up saying that they will only sell me physical goods starting with a price of €170 and up so that was it for me. Edit: lucky you!

I'm not particularly interested in these headphones, I have SHP9500's already and they are great for what I've paid. I even see they had been on offer there as well: https://drop.com/buy/philips-shp9500-headphones But I might be interested in some other gear there so I'll keep an eye on the offers. Thanks.

Does it make sense for europeans?

Guys what is this drop.com, an online outlet? First time seeing it with my eyes.

I mean you could enter at $99 with something that doesn't show any crossgrade price later, like TR5 Space Delay or an AT collection, and save $100. What you say makes sense if you wanted to join the GB with just a single entry at the $199 level directly, though. ARC w/hardware is giving him $249.99... might be worth considering as he'll get the mic for $50 extra and complete the s/w with dedicated h/w.

Same here. TTS-1 is invaluable for dirty quick sketches. It is a little buggy though so I avoid using it in final projects.

@kevin H loooooooool that was brilliant 😂 I'm already downloading and upgrading more than making music today. Starting with the dreaded Windows 10. I see glitches... everywhere glitches...

FYI ARC3 Software is $99.99 crossgrade price if you have already purchased anything at that price previously.

And I remember days of NI B4. My friend, who was a young programmer, being astonished with efficiency of the code (early 2000' Pentium MMX 133MHz processor didn't even notice the thing and that thing did sound real good for the times). Taking a quick look at IKM products of nowadays and gotta say, after updating Lurssen to the latest version, cpu load jumping almost twice as high as before renders the plugin unusable in even most basic mixing scenario. IKM soft do sound really good but they program it as if it's being intended for computers that will be available for buying in the next decades which of course is missing the point.
