(is there some "full version only" feature like it happens in Amplitube where the new impulse response features are available if you have the full version but unavailable if using the CS version?) The differences with CS and the full levels are shown here by asterisks: Quote What's new Resizable*, redesigned interface and plugin GUIs Expandable broadcast-ready metering suite* Floating meters option* Album Assembly section with waveform editing and metadata* Up to 192 kHz/32-bit floating point* Equal gain option* Signature presets from the industry's top engineers* * Features available by upgrading to T-RackS 5, T-RackS 5 Deluxe or T-RackS 5 MAX. T-RackS 5 CS supports projects up to 48kHz and features basic metering functions. Presets require specific modules which might not be part of this version of T-RackS 5. You can however download any processor for FREE and test them for 14 days before purchase. Other than that your existing TR 4 modules will unlock in TR 5, so you would only need to pick up missing modules as freebie selections.

So yes, it's 25 products for the price of 1 (one paid and 24 free after reaching 25.000). Nope, it was the second freebie at 2000. The first freebie was at 0. If, like me, you got in as soon as it started, you would have received you first freebie even if there were just a few entries. That's what happened to me. I was in when there were like 20 entries or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, my main music computer is a Mac, but I do have Windows computers as well, so good to know. Have you tried using the non-ASIO driver (I'm thinking the latency doesn't matter, but I don't know). Yeah- I keep forgetting Mac users exist (it did occur to me after I posted) -sorry!- I tried other ASIO drivers but no luck- I could not find any i/o offered in Arc 3 except ASIO. Supposedly the ASIO4ALL developer(s) are working on supporting multi hardware, and it is supposed to work with some devices (I got a beta released this Spring) but no joy for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the details anymore on the website so just trying to bring back from memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter - IK Multimedia Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) It was buy one get one free from the start. 2,000 participants brought you to 2 free choices (3 for the price of 1). And so on to where we are today and up to our goal of 25,000 participants, and 25 titles for the price of 1 (the emphasis is what we've been stating throughout [Edith: we did correct where it was not clear that it was not every 1,000 throughout - just for the tiers that were currently shown, for that I apologize as it was definitely and understandably confusing at that time]). The English is written here in the States and is technically and grammatically correct. Since it still seems unclear for some: When we reach 25,000 participants, said participants will get 25 for the price of 1 (24 free items to choose). The final five tiers have not been published yet. They too are both grammatically and mathematically correct. We'll post them when there's reason to. So give us that reason! OK, I understand that will likely take a little longer than 2 days.

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 OK much more than two days, DarkStar has posted their graph and others have some data showing a bit of a slowdown since the extension was announced which is expected. So it isn't time to panic but if there is anybody you know on the fence they may want to get in sooner rather than later so others continue to have confidence in the progress. Especially if they are looking to join with the ARC 3 + microphone because that is a physical item that ships and entry is unlocked after receipt and registration of the product. So we do have those factors to consider, just to be realistic and to give neither false hope or instill too much fear. We're about "even" right now I'd say, and I know there are many here who are multiple dippers (that still doesn't sound great) so I thank you and will not ask you to squeeze that stone again. I still believe we'll get to 20,000 but it won't be a.... Cakewalk. (I'll get my coat) 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Thank you @Peter - IK Multimedia. It has been clear from the beginning that not every increase in 1000 entries was associated with a free item from the list, and that there are plans that will be announced when we get closer to the end but I wasn't thinking too much and made a mistake when writing my entry and realized it as soon as I saw the response from Jacques Boileau Here is an idea: when we get to a plateau you could announce something like "instead of a free item, if we get to 21000 entries IK MM will add [gear credits|resonator|something else] to the list of items to choose from". That could encourage even more multi-dip 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Ok...maybe my math is fuzzy BUT.... If your ad CLEARLY says 20 freebies at 20,000, that leaves only 4 more freebies to be earned in 5,000 participants... I don't know how you're going to "change" the tiers to get something different, unless you INCREASE the tier to 1,200 OR, unless the LAST tier is modified after 23 freebies at 23,000 to TWO THOUSAND to get the LAST one, and THOSE would be a REALLY BAD decisions IMO... and you've only got 5 places to put 4 freebies...so I wish you the best of luck! And just so everyone knows, I have no skin in this game... but it would be a HUGE MISTAKE to INCREASE the last 5 tiers to 1,200 OR the LAST tier to 2,000, AT THE LAST MINUTE! That's something a SHYSTER would do! Edited September 2, 2021 by cclarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @cclarry it doesn't have to be a removal of a 1000 entry tier or a spacing in the last few tiers to be more than 1000, it can be that a tier has something else other than a free item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecode 101 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 are we seriously arguing whether one will get 1+25 free or 1+24 free? I am interpreting it, i pay for 1 thing and I get 25 in total. So, 1 + 24 freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Pete's "clear as mud" talking point that "the last tiers aren't 1,000", we're discussing HOW they are going to deliver 4 freebies with 5,000 Participants...

chris.r Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 They might have something extra in the cooking as a last, 25th, tier. FWIW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fwrend Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) In fairness to @Peter - IK Multimedia, he did state on page 11 the following (not that anyone would remember or read back 85 pages to find it! 🙄) Reading the GB page copy, one might think that the second freebie happens at the 12,000 tier but then the graphic makes it all clear by showing that the 12,000 tier brings 12 freebies - Yay! But, the graphic only shows tiers 8,000 through 20,000 and "So on." So, the inference, logical conclusion, and obvious behavior of the counter shows that distribution happens 1 = 1-1999 ; 2 = 2000 and "so on." But wait, that math doesn't work because that process only takes us to 24,000! (as someone noticed). Marketing typo or genius just to drum up a 96 page thread - @Bapu would be proud! Anyone know of a local Pedantic's Anonymous group? Edited September 3, 2021 by Fwrend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
