Wooohooo!!!!!

Just to confirm, if I use gear credits to buy something in the Custom Shop, the purchase will count towards the GB right?

Thanks! This is the OneKnob I was waiting for!

you know what's worst than wup ? wanting to wup but can't because i'm on windows 8.1 lol 

I hear ya! I'm on a Mac that doesn't have Metal - I paid to WUP and found out Waves 12 plugins won't work on my computer (right after the update, before their Website was updated to mention that Metal was now required) so I wasn't ahead at all.

But the vouchers can't be used on the sale price for items. Only based on the MSRP. At least they couldn't the last time I got one.

I think last time I had one, I could use it on sales but not when the sale had a coupon code. Like their neverending "40% off sales use coupon code whatever" can't be combined with it. But once in a while in between these sales, for a short time, there's a 40% off sale where you don't need a coupon code and that's when you can use it.

I go the upgrade route instead which adds a year of Wup.

How does this work? Do you mean you buy an upgrade bundle and it adds the WUP to the products you had (that are part of the bundle) or something like that? If so, that's not a bad idea.

Anyone compared this to the Mixed in Key one (Satellite)? It's free and it's been really useful but wondering if this one works differently / has more features or is the same kinda thing?

Wow this thing is new (only about two months old)! What a great deal, thanks for posting this!

Thanks for posting this. I was actually on Plugin Boutique a few minutes ago and hadn't noticed this deal. It's been in my wishlist for a very long time!

will there be a free update for users of the first version?

In the e-mail I got from them it had a code to save $9 on the upgrade so I'm assuming that's what the upgrade deal is for those of us who had the first version.

Isn't Frontier always free?

It's really too bad because probably about 90% of the complaints people have about IK could be fixed in an instant... Yes, the pricing doesn't adjust much based on what is already owned, but there really seem to be two main complaints... 1) The charge to re-download sounds after 6 months, and 2) the fact that their installer installs everything instead of having a custom install option.

I have almost all of the T-Racks and find myself skipping using a lot of their plugins because I don't want to sort through the list trying to remember what I have. And yes, you can move the unused ones but it's an extra step and hassle that really shouldn't be necessary. It does make using new plugins you buy quicker but I'd rather just install what I need. And from the hundreds (thousands) of mentions I've seen about it over the years, I'm not alone.

But their plugins sound SO GOOD! They've helped get me some great tv placements over the years so I really love the plugins themselves. And I wish they'd fix those two issues. It would help them so much because any IK related thread inevitably ends up with complaints about these things. It's gotten their deals banned from at least one deals forum. Nothing is perfect and there will always be people unhappy. But I love their plugins and would love to see them change those two things so mentions of IK deals are followed with conversation about their plugins instead of the negative conversations that tend to follow.

Free! 👍

I got two of the 500 series from lindell 😶

If you have all three, you can contact them and they'll give you the channel strip for free. Plugin Alliance is awesome!

I really should learn from you though. I shall follow in your footsteps. Well, I will try at least. I'm weak with these deals lol

It's been crazy. I'm exhausted. I've even stopped even looking at some of these freebies! I'm not even tempted to try and keep up on that 30 some odd page IK thread or drop in to complain.  I used to get annoyed at "full Kontak required", but now I"m like, "oh good riddance"!   What's the matter with me??  

Teach me.

Thanks to both of you @abacab and @ZincT!

Good to know about the tiny UI! And thanks for the great info on alternatives! Even though I know I don't need any new synths, here I am! 😂

I'm a subscriber...and I didn't get it  Whether I own it or not is irrelevant.
If it's a gift, that shouldn't matter...especially "for the Holidays", but hey,
it's IK, and if they can find a way to screw you, they will certainly utilize it!

It doesn't show a pop-up when you got to "My Products"? Usually it does even if you have it already.

If not, that's annoying. "You are too much of a good client because you bought the big package so we wanna make sure we don't give you this one" 😂 - not completely surprising but definitely disappointing.

I've been looking around and tough to find a lot about it... anyone know if this thing is pretty good?

Not got mine yet. Checked my spam too. Nothing. I own a lot of AAS stuff. Where do you check your settings?

Bottom right of this page when you're logged in. https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/products/

I didn't get mine either yet (though I'm subscribed). Assuming they send them out in batches. Unless they forgot me too, like Waves with the $5 thing (after all I spent!) *cries in corner*

Same! Too bad, it seemed like a great one! Congratulations to those who got one fast enough!

T-RackS 5 MAX Crossgrade  $299.99  $89.99

Thats a great deal!!!

It really is! With Jam Points it comes to $62.99.

This price is fantastic! In the past they have had that price as na upgrade from another Exponential Audio plugin but never seen it outright at $29. And it sounds fantastic too.
