Oh carp it was here that you mentioned you couldn't demo it. I asked on another forum for your IK username, sorry I should have realized your other message was here! Edit - thanks for the PM at GS, will take care.

For some context MixBox at $50 is based on the sale which is only on the Crossgrade plus a previous customer loyalty coupon (so basically a deal for existing/loyal customers stacked) based on this: "Customers that have purchased at least 5 T-RackS processors, T-RackS 5, T-RackS 5 SE, T-RackS 5 Deluxe, T-RackS 5 MAX, Total Studio 2 MAX, iLoud Micro Monitor, iLoud MTM, & Lurssen Mastering Console will get an additional $/€ 50 automatic coupon applied at checkout" So it seems we kind of get it both ways with "you don't give good enough deals to existing loyal customers" but also "see? look how low the price went, you should wait" which to me seems at best lacking context and at worst possibly a bit misleading. We could have been justified in removing that coupon for this promotion. And the $25/$50 T-RackS deal is not a typical deal, it coincides with our 25th Anniversary celebration. So those examples taken out of context can give you an impression that might not be 100% accurate or will take much longer to reach price-wise than is being implied.

Not to stray too off-topic but I got a little bit triggered with that... I'll just say "at least ONE more FFS". Same with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier having something like, what, six episodes? Urgh.

They should do a WandaVision / Barfly crossover. Marvel meets Bukowski. Would be a treat.

*HIC* Wannnnnndaaaaaa

Sleazy? Really? SE doesn't come with the new AT5 specific gear, yet it's "sleazy" that you don't get this gear that's been added when using the version mainly meant to gain all the new features with your previous gear? I think I have seen it all now.

Have you installed a new Google Font recently? It seems that some Google Fonts either sourced from the web and/or installed what they deem "improperly" (though I've never installed a font any other way than right-click --> install on Windows but Google might have their own way of doing things which wouldn't be surprising) might cause this behavior in some software applications. I've run it up the flagpole, though, as that Google Fonts thing sounds like a cop out from them and either way we probably could avoid using the last-installed font on our side to go around anything atypical that Google or any other font creator does.

Oh my that's not what I'm seeing either. I kind of (for maybe a few seconds) like it but in the end it should be the normal font which is obviously much easier to read. At least for these old eyes.

They're analog synth filters but they sound great on guitar. IK synth users will likely have these through Syntronik and SampleTank or on their own via MixBox.

Yes, looks like the plan is still to be an in-person event. I'll have my second shot by then, at least...

Custom Shop is required for managing your gear (try/buy/restore/etc). It doesn't need to be opened ever, unless you need to perform one of those tasks.

We haven't excluded Gear Credits in promotions on products that are available for Gear Credits and JamPoints can be (and frequently are) used when purchasing Gear Credit packs so I don't know how they're "useless"?

It is AmpliTube 5 SE. You can see details about what that includes/entails on the AmpliTube 5 web page (there are charts and lists of gear, etc). Thanks!

As others have stated and per the news, presets are coming later (as was the case in the last iteration if memory serves).

It would be double dipping as you can use JamPoints toward your initial purchase of Gear Credits. Same as above 🙂 Yes, that is why they cannot be combined as you would use JamPoints on your purchase of the Gear Credits themselves. We have the general information about JamPoints posted at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/jampoints/ There's also an FAQ "Are JamPoints and Custom Shop Gear Credits the same thing?" at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/index.php?id=1082 That states: "You can also use JamPoints towards a purchase of a Gear Credit pack to increase savings, which will discount your total. For steps on how to purchase Gear Credits using your JamPoints, please click here."

Though this is a Cakewalk forum, I guess I could make it a non-dupe and point out you also get AmpliTube 5 SE (and T-RackS 5 SE) free with Pro Tools https://www.avid.com/pro-tools/loyalty-rewards

Yes this filters out presets that have gear you do not own (or corresponding to however you have the Gear Selector set).

Presets aren't huge files, so there would be no limit. Also, this isn't just our presets or those from artists like these (which will still get made, not only for AmpliTube 5 but we also have some coming for some other products that are quite nice.

We will have an integrated preset sharing system coming. I happen to have just watched a video showing its features last night. That said, the installation rtf should explain the quick process of copying presets to the correct folder that is currently required.

Of course! Peter in the wild

Thanks for posting! I enjoyed playing around with these over the past few days to see how they sound and they are quite nice! In case anybody here is from outside of North America and/or has their language set to something other then English, this link is more universal: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/id=SlashFreePresets2021

LOL someone is making assumptions I see. If only you were privy to the figures of what we've sold for AmpliTube 5 from release until now (well I report on it weekly so I know off the top of my head as of through last Thursday... and there are a lot of digits. To the left of the decimal.). I hope IK doesn't occupy so much real estate in your mind for a long time, that seems unhealthy. I probably shouldn't point out how successful a product is selling as it probably makes that plot of real estate grow even more, but unfortunately I must dispel such misinformation when I see it. If you need a mentor to also explain some of the marketing benefits of offers such as you see here with Thomann and IK, I suppose I could also spare some time but I'd also ask that you share exactly what issues you have with IK that cause an unhealthy obsession as a nice trade in kind.

You shouldn't need AmpliTube 4 installed, AmpliTube 5 will pick up what you have. I doubt it would end up unlimited, but I'm trying to get this policy reconsidered and changed in some way.
