Did anyone ever find an easier solution to unlocking all of the Amplitude models and  Sampletank extensions that didn't involve entering every single freebie's serial number into the Authorization Manager? That's what I've had to do so far, but after picking the rest of my freebies I'm wondering if there are any alternatives... 

I just used the Product Manager to authorize and download my SampleTank freebies. I think I had to unauthorize and reauthorize SampleTank itself, and then all my freebies were authorized as well. The Ampltube models were unlocked by restoring my gear in the most recent Custom Shop.

Others (search this thread) have successfully used this Dayton using a conversion cable. It is cheap for sure, but sometimes you get what you pay for, so research it first.

I used this option. It works great. I was dubious but it seems to have done the job.

Yeah, except for the fact the post has nothing to do with a deal and started a thread about it, instead of a comment related to the actual instacomposer deal thread that is alive and well.  

We bring out the pitch forks for duplicate deal threads, this kind of thread shouldn't be encouraged in this area - but respectivly moved elsewhere.

While it is a sub forum under the Coffee House, many of us have complained about that status and placement.  King Larry and his loyal followers should have their own section.

Well...looking at the first page of the Deals forum, King Larry himself posted about Pink Floyd - The Reunion, there is a first looks post, a couple of software update announcements, and a couple of other posts that have nothing  to do with deals. Like I said, things are pretty fluid around here.

@Ted Haber  You do realise this is CAKEWALK by BANDLAB DAW forum and not Studio One???

In CW the drag and drop works just fine

The Deals forum is actually a sub forum of the Coffee House forum which has this preamble:

This is an inclusive discussion area, intended to promote music-related discussions that do not pertain specifically to Cakewalk software. Users of all experience levels and backgrounds can ask questions and share knowledge. By making your posts music-related, you help preserve the quality of these discussions.

So @Ted Haber 's question is fine. Except that it is not really a deal so might have been better for Ted to post it in the Coffee House forum itself. But because the InstaComposer deal was posted here, more people might look at Ted's message. We are pretty fluid with the rules here, I think.

It feels better, because the wallet already seems lighter.

Yup. Less weight to carry around. Loosing weight is suppose to be healthy, right?

I just worry that the next time Larry leaves he is going to be singing:

25314 registrations have been reached so far in the GB. I wonder how high it will go? I also wonder how many actual people that number represents. And I wonder how many new customers this GB has brought into the IKM fold. I am sure Peter and team are crunching those numbers now. From this user's perspective, this GB has been a resounding success, not only from the all new toys I have to play with, but also from the community that has been built up around the group buy. Not to mention that my post count has increase dramatically because there was so much to talk about.

97. We are sub 100 now,

Just saying about waveshell. It must be a good practice because Studio One uses it too lol!

Why don’t I hear complaints about the Studio One shell?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because Studio One plugins are not widely used outside the Studio One environment? Maybe because Studio One plugins are still at version 1? Maybe because there aren't V9, V10, V11, V12, and V13 Studio One shell files and the VSTs don't move from one shell file to another when they are upgraded?

I highly doubt it. 

Likewise. They already extended the GB to get to the 25K level.

Alright, so gear credits is the way to go, then. Thanks!

Yup, and jam points if you have them. You should be able to get into the $200 level for about $112 if you have 48 jam points.

Could someone confirm that if I pay €149.99 for Electromagnetik or Cinekinetik collection it will give me the freebies in the €200 tier?

And if I buy two qualifying products at two different price levels I will get twice the freebies but half of those freebies will be of lesser value than the other half?

Peter has stated that the Electromagnetik or Cinekinetik collections will only get you in at the $149.99 level. The $50 savings comes from buying the bundle as opposed to buying each library in the bundle separately. 

Your second statement is correct.

So the KVR IKM group buy page has finally reached 169 pages which is where the originals Deals IKM group buy thread was frozen. Is it legit to add the pages from this thread to the original thread? I say it is.

@Peter - IK Multimedia I am pretty sure there is an error in the latest mailing from IKM that you might want to check out. The mailing is talking about the T-Racks tape machine collection and how if you buy a tape machine from it, you can get 24 other software titles. See if you can spot the problem with following:

I don't think that is suppose to say TASCAM TAPE COLLECTION, unless you are adding it as a qualifying product.

Ya, Larry. Come in from the cold.

I didn't hit anything yet, because I don't celebrate until we are there.  To be 100% serious we should have been there by now.  This is an insane deal and 25,000 people isn't really that huge a number to be honest.  I'm not mad, just disappointed   OK that last part wasn't 100% serious.  Just about 75% serious.

We are very grateful that you stuck it out and continued to push us to bigger and better things. I was going to sit this one out but ended up quintuple dipping. It has actually saved me some money because when I see a sale on something that I might be interested in, I tell myself, "Naw. You have so many IKM things to check out, You don't have time for this too." I wonder how long that will last?

Don't want to make more fuss over this, but he did say:

Ya,  I am probably overreacting. I just get tired of people thinking that because they do not have any problems, other shouldn't either.

Don't count on The Resonator and the new T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection (nor its single processors) being added any time soon.  And soon is all we've got at this point, it seems to have slowed down so let's get it to 25,000 for those who do need that last freebie!

We are in the sub 1000 range now with 17 days to go. I don't think there is much danger of not making that last freebie.

As I stated, I don't discount your complaints and I understand some people have had problems

You said, you were not sure what all the fuss was about. Your statement implies that people are fussing for nothing. Do you now know what people are fussing about, or do you not care as long as it works for you?

Anyone with more than one purchase clue me in on what's going on?

When I added a second purchase they lumped in freebies choices together.  Meaning that when I clicked on a freebie option red button it would then display two or three freebies options as a secondary menu.  Seems like they have a limit how many they can display so start lumping after that.  See if that helps. 

What Kevin said. The promotions starting at the bottom will contain your missing freebies.
