telecode 101

I was looking at the delays. i am a guitar guy so like to use them. will need to demo.

i might bite the FX. i missed the intro deal when they had the FX on sale. Can someone confirm, it was $299 for all the FX last time, right?

i am still on V6. Had no interest in CZ or Synthi. I am sure OBx will be in the next deal. I still think its not really enough to justify an upgrade. I think mabe if they do some really cool and advanced things with a new ver of Analog Lab, then we are talking. Mayby if they some some combined sale of synths and effect, then that could also be interesting. But just to get 3 or 4 more retro synths -- not enough IMO.

the last one was OBx. i think i might wait a bit until v8 to upgrade. I don't think there is enough in there to warrant an upgrade yet. The sale for individual items is up on PB.

yeah. v collection upgrade is on sale for $299. effects not seeing them on sale.

also, for the uber Arturia/Star Trek fans out there..(not a deal i presume) you can now get the sound explorers collectors edition.. oohhh https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/sound-explorers-collection/overview

that thing almost made me go out and buy a MPC Live and dump Maschine. it was damn good and easy to use. need to find time to try this new version.

looks cool

yeah. thanks. i looked at that. i am just trying to decide is this is for me. i was looking to spend something at PB to get reason freebie and was hoping to spend it on something useful. this seemed to be the most useful deal so far. (i would have prefered RX standard deal). i am just not sure if this is for me. i spend much more time sequencing and song structure. i don't spend endless hours perfecting a master. i have the IKM tracks stuff -- its fun to use, but i just use larrusem to give me a rough idea of what a mastered version will/could sound like.

i have Ozone elements 9 . how much better is this ?

if it is too good to be true. it usually is not true.

i am a big maschine user. but the Akai software tends to get a little more towards a DAW than Maschine. it seemed to have features many Maschine useres have been complaining about lacking in Maschine. we shall see what 2021 brings. Rumors are abound that NI are turning Maschine into more of a DAW

when i played with it, the MPC software was more advanced and more feature rich than Maschine.

Hey, I just checked, Joe Satriani's birthday was July 15. IKM should have done a intro offer promo for that.

do you need the MPC touch kontroller to use this?

For all you G&R fans out there. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/slashcs/?pkey=amplitube-slash 🙂

cool. it has been going on sale for that price since 2018. So at least with inflation in account, it looks like a good deal. How is this any different than the freebie we got earlier this week? just wondering?

mine came in right away. search for an email from "AKAI Professional". it might be in your junk mail.

i could use a Bass. how did you chose a natural finish? I see no option to change finish at that price.

i was using the free metal collection and got a lot of usable non-metal tones.

I sort of agree with this. But you have to admit, it's a very unique sound compared to standard fare of British blues rock tones. The tones he got on the It's a Kind of Magic /Highlander soundtrack were very very good IMO. my guess is this product is targeted towards the middle aged dad guitar player rock & roll fan customer instead of the fans of the actual guitar amp and pedals. makes sense. good profitable market. I have been able to get very good results with AT 4 by manually tweaking the amp sims in AT 4 core. Also started using the Mesa Boogie Mark VI a lot. Very cool hidden behind the scenes settings when you flip the amp to its back.

i am temped but, meh.. the product just seems too gimickey. It seems skimpy on effects compared to Satriani and other collections, no? It would be great if IKM tried to make collections with players that have great tone but aren't super start rock / metal players. Like Mike Landau or Bill Frisell or Marc Ribbot. But I guess won't sell as much.

in my case, i just plop it on at the end and get a decent idea of what this may sound like if sent out for mastering. i think its a good product for singer song writers or composers who want to spend more time focusing on the songs and less time audio engineering.

IKM are okay, I own most of AT and Tracks. FWIW.. I have gotten the most use and mileage and moneys worth out of Larrusen console. (Maybe its just my usage of their product line. ) I am a little confused by their release of this Space Delay product. Who in their right mind thought there was a need for this considering so many alternatives in the market space.
