As long as anybody experiencing this reports it. This is not the expected behavior, and should only appear when you are demoing gear. I am not experiencing this even when I'm not logged in or am logged in with an account that is missing gear, on both Windows and macOS. So I'm sure the team can get this resolved for anybody experiencing it.

You received your ARC and MEMS mic if I recall so you could just keep remeasuring your room. That sounds like a fun time

Find someone from here for your 25th freebie https://www.freehugscampaign.org/

I never got to see them with Roger Waters but I went to five shows across two weeks in NJ and NY during the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour.

I just hope for a tiny bit of rest though somehow during this time of year I do realize that's not likely. All good, though, I have to try to get in some time with the new stuff (like the TASCAM tape plugins) too!

Nothing on November 1st thankfully as that is a Monday and we'll be closing down this big group buy shebang. But not too long after that there should be some things revealed

Coming up November 1, 2021 is.... not the next group buy, sadly

Since you ordered from us during the group buy promotion period you'll be taken care of. You may have to have support do it, but I assure you that you'll be taken care of.

We released the TASCAM machines and have more in the pipeline The dimensions are on the Specs page for our hardware, like https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigkeysio/index.php?p=specs

Here's your freebie, a compliment: You were very helpful spreading the word about this promotion and I appreciate it.

They are mentioned near the top, the page was getting a bit unwieldy at this point:

We've provided all of the appropriate information multiple times to all dealers and explained clearly how they could do REALLY well pushing this. Apparently it is not getting filtered down to all store associates apparently. I will bump our dealer reps here again. Yes, I'm on board with this as being 100% legit VAT is added when you purchase the Gear Credits, not to the price of the gear in Gear Credits when you use them. We'd rather not collection government tax from you the first time, let alone twice. Not going to happen. No TASCAM in this group buy. There are no plans to add any more items. We're in the final lap here, it has been extended twice already, and we will not be extending it again. 149.99 each. No. Absolutely. This is it, folks.

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.

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!

I don't know what I would "explain", it isn't a feature of AmpliTube 5 but you are welcome to request it in the wishlist thread or directly to the team. I will also relay it, but best if it comes from users.

I do not have a timeline at this time.

I've been told we need to have a full version T-RackS update for the installer to allow you to choose and that is slated for the next full version release.

The hardware device registration is the qualifier so you'll be fine. You can install on up to three machines, just not for simultaneous use (like you said, "not to be using multiple installations at the same time for different purposes" basically). Our EULA and other legal information is at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/legal But 1. who wants to read that and 2. why would you because I gave you the answer and I hope it helps.

It depends on the machine, the Porta One would be lowest but they will vary so you would do best to test them and see how they do on your system. There's plenty of time for the intro pricing, too, nothing to worry about there.

Typically both. Which is why we have such a roster already, it was really Orange who best realized (both literally and figuratively) that having their gear modeled is definitely beneficial and we were the choice to do so. MESA as well and they were very particular as well. Please note that while I'm sure it is unintentional, phrasing it like "allowing their name to be used" can sound quite insulting and is definitely inaccurate. We don't work with companies that just want to slap their name on something for a few bucks. We don't create the models we do by having a company say "we'll just send some schematics" either. It is always a partnership and the companies involved need to be fully involved and the pickier they are the better. We've been lucky with that last part, might say unlucky in some ways but the effort is worth it

Actually, AudioDamage still sells the RatShack reverb... And it's great for what it is intended to do, not everything is meant to be pristine, sometimes lo-fi tools are fun too

Not going to happen, unfortunately.

October 12, 2021 - IK Multimedia is pleased to announce the T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection, a collection of AAX, VST and AU plug-ins for mixing and mastering. The new T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection draws upon the strengths of four meticulously restored TASCAM analog recording systems long recognized for their glorious tone and other audible hallmarks. Developed with IK's award-winning modeling technology and in direct collaboration with TASCAM themselves, the result of this coordinated effort allows musicians to introduce the warmth and classic characteristics of some of the finest analog recorders into today's digital recordings—ultimately delivering the best of both worlds. Officially certified models The TASCAM Tape Collection offers 4 iconic analog tape machines: The TEAC A-6100 MKII, an upgraded version of the original mastering recorder first released in 1973 and still much sought-after today for adding tape warmth and color to recordings. The TEAC A-3340S, released in the early '70s, is the deck behind many famous song demos, and even whole albums made by some of the most influential rock bands ever. The TASCAM 388, released in 1985, combines an 8-channel mixing console and an 8-track tape machine in one. Hugely successful, and still fetching high prices today, the 388 is revered for its warm and evocative sound. The cassette-tape-based TASCAM PORTA ONE MINISTUDIO from 1984 was TASCAM's best-selling PORTASTUDIO, introducing thousands of musicians to the joys of home recording. Even today, the PORTA ONE remains popular for creating "lo-fi" sounds, creative experiments and even live performance. A true collaboration From the onset of this project, IK Multimedia and TASCAM agreed that the goal was to create authentic TEAC and TASCAM tape tone. To that end, TASCAM selected the specific unit of each model, each fully rebuilt and meticulously calibrated. And for even greater accuracy, TASCAM provided information about the analog tape these systems were biased for. Davide Barbi, IK Multimedia's Chief Technology Officer, commented on the new T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection, "Since the onset of digital recording, musicians and engineers have been wanting an easy, seamless way to introduce the unique tonal characteristics of analog sound into the contemporary DAW environment. Our new T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection does just that—with the accuracy, warmth, and subtle idiosyncrasies that made analog so special to begin with. Together with TASCAM, we have created a special set of tools that, I believe, have the ability to inject a new level of authenticity and vibrancy into a wide range of music and other recording efforts." Comprehensive controls Each TASCAM tape machine module offers common controls such as input and output levels, selectable input and reproduction audio paths, and a carefully chosen selection of recommended and classic tape formulations—each with its own unique sonic character. A physically modeled alignment section lets users go beyond the regular audio alignment of the machines to experiment with the effect of different bias levels, recording levels to tape, and recording and playback EQs. Additionally, IK Multimedia's modeling team has included two popular features from IK's Tape Machine collection. The Transport Modeling function accurately reproduces the small inaccuracies of the tape position in front of the head for incredible life-like performance, while True Stereo operation provides a perfect recreation of the stereo image effect produced by subtle differences that inevitably exist between the left and right channels on an analog machine. The T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection offers two ways to work: as a stand-alone AAX, VST2/3 and Audio Units plug-in, or inside the T-RackS 5 shell. Use these together with any of the other 48 T-RackS processors to mix and master faster than ever—creating a powerful, lightning-fast workflow. Pricing and availability The T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection is available for purchase from the IK Multimedia online store and from IK authorized dealers worldwide at a special limited-time introductory price of $/€129.99* (reg. $/€199.99). The four included individual TASCAM tape machines can also be purchased separately for a limited-time introductory price of $/€79.99* (reg. $/€99.99). For more information, please visit: www.ikmultimedia.com/tascam

No it is not, as T-RackS MAX includes the items available when it was released. Even the Comprexxor addition was a very limited time (it is no longer included) as it came out fairly close to the TS3 MAX release.

First, since everybody is asking - no the brand-new TASCAM Collection nor its individual processors are part of the group nor are they planned to be. However, not only are they at intro pricing, but if you have (purchased, not GB or otherwise freebie) T-RackS 5/Deluxe/MAX, TS2/3, or 5+ (purchased, not GB or otherwise freebie) T-RackS processors you will have an autoapplied 30% coupon so you don't have to use your JamPoints - or you may not have any left after the group buy! Second, those calculations are way off though I wish they were right and that I was getting that kind of bonus because of them Alas, that's not the case though we're happy the group buy is going well.
