Also in my account for Syntronik Deluxe it has all 22 synths to download if want to again. Syntronik is $199. Deluxe is $269 if you buy it outright. But if you already own Syntronik the upgrade is $99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now thinking of getting AT5SE because he already bought AT4 and has enough collections already, including the ones he'll get with the group buy. Is there a better way to do this than simply buy AT5SE and then pick and choose more stuff in the $149 and below range? As I said, totally hypothetical of course... The Lurssen Mastering Console is just $10 more than AT5SE and would get me AT5SE and more. Surely worth the extra $10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hey @Peter - IK Multimediawould it be possible for the IKM site to only list the products that you do not yet own in the promotions list for the available bonus content for the group buy? I see a long list including many of the products that I already own! Confusing! 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you scroll down the list you'll find that the pointer won't "point" to the ones that you already own, but some that you own will still be selectable Edited August 15, 2021 by cclarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought in and if it reaches another few levels I was considering picking up a duplicate of e.g. mixbox (have mixbox upgrade, mixbox is visible) to future-proof. IK's license agreement allows for multiple simultaneous installs but only allows one active running instance. There's a chance down the road I might use a multi-pc setup for plugin compatibility or just desktop/laptop in the future and being able to have extra licenses for everything I put on my daw starter template would be nice to not have to worry about closing things down to stay true to the licenses. I'm happy to have the selection list scroll a bit longer for this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_tea Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I'm in twice, Cinekinetik looked interesting, I know there was some talk about the full collection not being choosable as an item but being able to pick all four of them up individually, and if more tiers are reached some of the Electromagnetik pianos, for $35 after jampoints seemed like a good idea Edited August 15, 2021 by mister_tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This confused me too. As I read it, they both include the t-racks shell and the four classic modules. Then they differ in what extra modules they include. SE includes the de-esser, tape echo, csr room reverb, then emulations of the fairchild 670, 1176, and LA-2A. All that stuff was around in t-racks 4 or even 3 but if you don't already have emulations of those despite being on this board they're good tools to have. I'm not sure what state of the art in 1176/la2a's emulations is. T-Racks 5 "plain" aka "the one without anything else at the end" includes the classic modules plus "the stuff new to -tracks 5" - metering, dyna-mu compressor, master match, and EQual and ONE equalizers (edit: ONE is a mastering processor, with eq and dynamics and transients, not just an EQ. Haven't used any of this stuff) edit 2: I'm not sure whether this means someone could pick them both up and receive the new-to-tracks5 modules as well as the fairchild/black/white modules for two choices.

Yes, each one would unlock different modules so you would end up with the union of the two. I had T-RackS 3 Deluxe and then updated with just T-RackS 5, so I got the new modules that were added to T-RackS 5. If there are enough freebies, I may get 5 SE, though I may be satiated by MixBox. I’ve made a lot of use of Lurssen, but T-RackS not so much (I’ve collected a lot of PA plugins that cover the same ground). The T-RackS Black 76 and White 2A in 5 SE are well regarded emulations.

No,, you will only get credit for the $149.99 spent on ARC 3, and NOT for T-Racks Deluxe. In other words, there won't be TWO entries into the GROUP BUY, just one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By buying ARC with mic, it seems that you’ll get T-RackS Deluxe free in addition to getting in on the group buy. That’s a way to get TR5 Deluxe without spending $300.
