Can I use gear credits and/or jam points for that? 😝

For what it's worth, I was kind of being a smart ***** because of another thread. You are correct that Slate Digital Trigger 2 and Steven Slate Drums 5 will both run without a dongle. I'm also a little bitter and feel like Slate abandoned long time perpetual users by not updating all of their plugins to machine authorization. I'm anti-subscription and won't be buying any more Slate products that require a dongle.

Oh man, this is really gonna pith the wife off! 😆

That screen shot is from my iLok manager. The only Slate product I have that offers software ( non-dongle ) authorization is Trigger 2. I would be a happy camper if I could do away with the dongle all together.

I must be missing something.

My strategy is to keep as much of my hard earned money as possible. I'll try not to be too impulsive and pick up some true 'no brainers.'

Warning Will Robinson........... an iLok dongle is required for Slate perpetual licenses. The wife may get pithed off when she finds out!

I have everything that was offered in the group buy, any idea what to do with my remaining 8 choices at the $50 level?

.......and could I get a notification if the deal is certain to ***** the wife? 😆 edit: I guess I should have phrased the different so " certain to make the wife angry"

Best GB ever! Thanks IK.

I used Jam points and got in at that level to complete the AT5 collection. Most of the items I picked up were at the $25 level. It was still well worth it for $35.

and Saturator X.

That assessment was made with the stand alone version. I just created a Studio One project and added 2 instances of AT 4 and 2 instances of AT 5. The load time was super fast for both versions but AT 5 does use about twice the CPU power.

F.w.i.w.... I'm running AT 5.2.0 on my laptop. It has an I7 8750H processor. Load time is 12 seconds and the CPU hit is negligible. It loads the 4 X-Gear pedals without issue.

Welcome back!

Welcome back! I hope you had a safe productive trip.

If get at least one more tier after this, I'll get in one more time to finish my AT collection. 😆

I'm already in at the $149 level for X-Gear. I was wondering about the other stuff.

@Peter - IK Multimedia I have everything Amplitube has to offer except 11 pedals and 2 amps. Would it be worth buying a t-racks processor that I already have that came with T-Racks, to pick up the remaining AT gear? I assume they could all be had at the $50 level. I could pick up a processor that was included with AT when I bought it. Thanks. Items left: Replica, Moller, Mudhoney, Pinnacle Deluxe, Power Grid, Contour Wah, Nu-Tron III, Nirvana, Seek Trem, Seek Wah, Shape Shifter and JCA100H and JCA20H

Wow, thanks for that Kenny. That helps a lot. The main thing I like about the X-Vibe is the flanger/doubler but I have the PA version. There was a sound guy in the 80's that would put my gtr through a flanger/doubler in the foh and it sounded amazing. I have all of the AT bundles so I have lots of chorus pedals, Leslies etc.

I picked all of my available freebies before they added the X-Series stuff. I will only be able to pick three of them. The big question is which one to pass on. I keep going back and forth between Space and Vibe. Any suggestions?

number 9, number9!
