pseudopop Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) I have learned my lesson with IK and I have been patiently waiting for this instead of falling for the individual discounts. It appears that I'm eligible for the maxgrade (I see the maxgrade price on IK's site), but I'm not sure why. Is T-RackS 5 Total Studio MAX 2 the same as T-RackS 5 MAX? All my other MAX products are even older. Edited November 9, 2023 by pseudopop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their website they specifically say: "for registered owners of Total Studio 3 (or 3.5) MAX, AmpliTube 5 MAX, T-RackS 5 MAX, SampleTank 4 MAX, TONEX MAX, Syntronik 2 MAX and MODO MAX". Then again, the last time I wanted to buy the Maxgrade I wasn't eligible, so perhaps they have changed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioschmaudio Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I find it frustrating that I don't get a bigger discount as an owner of Total Studio 3.5 MAX. People who only spent 40$ on the cheapest Max product get the same price for the Maxgrade, yet I get so much less in addition to what I already have. I'll wait for Total Studio 8 MAX. Then I can get the upgrade for the same price as someone who already bought 4 Maxgrades for 168$ each. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already turned my back on them once, when I realized that I had to pay to re-download the sounds that I already owned. I totally loved them again when I bought Total Studio 3.5 MAX because I got so much value for my money. I still like them and I don't really need the upgrade that much. Still, would have been nice to get a better price. The good thing about this is that I save money. Too many temptations everywhere already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I wonder, what happened to Peter IK? Where is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have participated in two group buys and the only new thing I would get is TONEX, I think. I have AmpliTube 4 MAX, MODO DRUM 1, MODO BASS 1 (so these would be just version updates) and I believe all the Syntronik libraries. I'm not sure if SampleTank 4 MAX gives me much either. Still, I'm pretty sure this "upgrade from any MAX for the same price as you would from previous version of TS MAX" is a new thing.

I no longer have to worry about the high renewal fee if I don't renew Total MAX. That is a very good thing, we feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Is there a list somewhere of what has come out since TS 4 MAX came out and is not included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
