You'll find Modules Manager in C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\T-RackS 6. Run it and you'll likely be delighted to see what it does. Background/tl/dr: I had read the blurb about T-RackS 6 before I Bumble Hundled it that mentioned that they had added the ability to only install the modules you own (or wish to install). The spamming of unowned modules is a longtime complaint about T-RackS. By default, they dump every module in the line into your VST3 folder, which causes them to show up in your hosts' plug-in lists with no indication as to whether you own licenses for them or not. So two types of clutter, both hard drive and visual. In the past I solved this by creating a "bullpen" folder where I would move unowned modules until such time as I acquired licenses for them. I expected this ability to be part of the installer or built into IK Product Manager, but it's not. Weeks later I was doing some cleaning work on my C drive and poked around in IK Multimedia's programs folder. That's when I discovered Modules Manager. Modules Manager allows you to see what licenses you own and choose to only install those modules. IK seem to be still into the idea that you (or they) want to dump the unlicensed modules onto your system, and some of the design of this tool reflects that. So you need to be careful when using it. When you first run it, select "Show All" in the left column. Then you can look over on the right and see the ones you own and the ones that are only available as trials. Toggle the button as appropriate for each one. Then click "Apply Changes" down at the bottom. This will remove unwanted modules. What to watch out for is that the next time you run it you may get a message about how your installation doesn't match your preferences. Do NOT click yes to this dialog. If you do, it will reinstall all of the modules you previously excluded. It's a useful tool, you just have to keep an eye on it.

The only difference between a Simple Instrument Track and a Split Instrument Track is that the Simple Instrument track is shown as one track in the UI. A Simple Instrument Track is in fact still two tracks, it's just that in the Track View, the header part shows the audio track, and the clips view shows the midi track. The reason they're called "Simple" instrument tracks, is that they're generally created with a stereo only output, and the MIDI track part is sent to the synth on all MIDI channels. That, and the fact they only use up one track space in the UI. Up until the introduction of Per-Output Instrument Tracks, using split instrument tracks was the only way to properly leverage multi-timbral synths. Now you can use either for multi-timbral synths - it's really down to preference, and whatever you're used to in your workflow. As a rule, we try our best not to introduce anything that would require users to change their existing workflow - and obviously there's the backwards compatibility thing with older projects, so both options still exist. FYI: Per-output instrument tracks are really just Simple Instrument Tracks where: 1. The synth is set to have more then one stereo output 2. The audio track is set to receive audio from the synth on a specific audio output 3. The MIDI track is set to output on a specific MIDI channel. ... and those audio output channels / MIDI output channels are incremented each time you "append" a new per-output track for that synth.

Opinions are like A##holes, everyone has one, thinks they're entitled to proclaim it to the masses, and most of them stink thanks to YT. As an over-educated and practicing Electrical Engineer for over 40 years, I'll state these facts, which obviously only apply to the accurately emulated analog modeling algorithms, most of which one has to pay real money for: Beyond the EQ curve or compression ratio are factors that are captured from the analog circuitry that are meant to emulate things like Intermodulation distortion, Total Harmonic distortion, slew rate, hysteresis, and transformer ringing, among other stuff that gives a distinct difference (to well trained ears) between, for example, a Dbx 160x and a genuine Teletronix LA2. They actually sound different if done correctly as a plug-in, as they do in the hardware version. Does the "average" wannabe musician/recordist/content creator know the difference? No. Therefore, it matters to a very slim minority of modern engineers.

I'm not sure if anyone here mentioned the UFX Reverb sale for $5 from Plugin Boutique. I just wanted to mention it because it now comes with the IK Mixbox(FULL VERSION!) for free. But only until Nov 21st. I'd actually been looking for a good Leslie plugin as well as a Univibe plug-in. The Mixbox has em both and they sound amazing. Plus it has 70 other 500 series style effects. I had never even heard of the Mixbox but I'm blown away by it. I can't believe I just got it for free. And btw, the UFX Reverb sounds fantastic. But if u don't need it, there's other plugins for sale cheap that come with the free Mixbox. But rem, it's only there for a couple more days. Cheers! https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/14101-UFX-REVERB-Version-2?currency=USD&force_country=US&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20844579592&gclid=CjwKCAiAz_DIBhBJEiwAVH2XwP-_Xjc54oAUJrxLUaGaItBqeFISNTvg6gLj8HrHlyYnHOcD1umT1BoCfRAQAvD_BwE

wow. the mixbox also includes all the sunset sound packs Sunset Sound Reverb Collection Sunset Chamber Sunset ISO Booth Sunset Live Room Sunset Plates Sunset Spring Good one.

^^^^ This is definitely worth repeating. I got the Complete Bundle over 8 years ago now and the things that keep getting thrown in just add to the value of that decision. Over time, unless something is truly unique I don't even read about it anymore... Melda covers a lot more bases than other vendors in most cases. Even as a vendor, Melda has always stood out with the focus of getting more users, not allowing folks to duplicate purchase things, and rewarding loyal customers by throwing more free stuff at them. This is a far cry from those that milk their user base for everything they can and charging them for upgrades every year.... never paying for an update on something you own has immense value unto itself.

The 3.2 Update is now available from https://scalermusic.com/my-products/ or https://www.pluginboutique.com/myaccount It's a pretty big update so the updates are split into two images below! Click on the first image then use right cursor to see the second.

So, what has everyone got this season? I used to go pretty crazy during the BF sales, but I've really pared back the last few. Too much stuff as it is. This year, I picked up: UVI SonicBundle - upgraded all my ancillary UVI products to the full bundle - total $279 Updated to Cubase 15 and Dorico 6 - $178 2025 Samples From Mars - $27 EastWest Lofi/Voices of Passion - $39 So, I did pretty good this year. I also sold a hardware synth to fund a new Motu 16A audio interface. For big hardware setups, AVB is awesome!

Update to Total Studio 5 Max and bought Pluralis from United Plugins...to get EW Voices of Passion for free

https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/blog/ At a Glance FerricTDS was designed to capture the unmistakable warm yet powerful sound of classic tape compression in all its facets and detail, and to take it a step further. Combining state-of-the-art technology with a loving nod to the great classic tape machines, FerricTDS mkIII captures the magical essence of days gone by and takes it to a new, unique level. The update is tuned to deliver a wide spectrum of profound bass tones, confident mids, and elegant highs. You can add subtle warmth or brilliance to the sound or make dramatic changes to the overtone structure while creating musical-sounding distortions. Applications signal balancing and gluing tonal shaping and harmonic excitation controlling peak performance increasing perceived loudness levels Changes to Previous Versions The mkIII redesign updates key areas to modern signal-processing standards and improves overall usability. The most visible change is the new toolbar with an integrated preset manager and A/B control. SC filtering now sits within a general color control, and plug-in calibration is easier thanks to a headroom control on the toolbar. In mkIII, limiting is always active whenever levels exceed a set threshold, and adjusting the limiter makes the transfer curve more linear at lower levels, giving the circuit a soft-clipper character. To complete the tape simulation, signal coloration now adds pre-emphasis-driven high-frequency compression, plus a new wow & flutter feature. An authentic transformer circuit is also included.

Hi Skyline_UK, We apologize for the mishap regarding this issue. One of our team members has followed up with you, and it appears that a manual effort to unsubscribe from BandLab membership was made on 28 November. We suspect that since the email address you mentioned was shut down in the ticket, it may have triggered Paddle to cancel automatically. A change in email address would require you to resubscribe using your current active email address. This indeed is unacceptable, and we'll need to implement a better system to handle this process. Let us resolve this by following up with you, and we'll do our best to address the inconvenience caused. Thank you.

Very nice products, and it's hard to beat the price, but why oh why do we have to install yet another service just to install the product(s)? I got the free Antelope EQ and it installed a service. I think Softube installs one too. None of these is necessary in order to use the plug-ins, they're only required during the install process. <rant> These are plug-ins. All an installer needs to do is download the VST3 package and copy it to the VST3 directory. If your installer needs to install its own service just to perform a download and file copy, something is WRONG with your installer. And they never install with manual startup, always automatic, so they're always sitting there waiting for another installation. I don't mind a well-designed omnibus installer shell, in the case of companies whose plug-ins a have many of I even like the ones that work well. But I draw the line at installer services. In practice, it just means that I have to go in and set the startup to manual, or in the case of really aggressive ones where instantiating the plug-in(s) triggers a start, disabled. Then the installer pitches a fuss next time I try to install one of their products. None of this rigmarole is endearing, really the opposite. My computer is probably capable of running these stupid things without my noticing any performance hit, but as with any running program, it's just another thing to go wrong, another bit of complexity that nudges the system closer to error. No matter how benign they think these things are, if there's a mistake in the code they could have memory leaks or any number of other issues. Or someone else's program could have a conflict. I used to work in the commercial software biz, I get that the corporate ego says that one's own product is the most important program on a user's computer, and that the user should welcome multiple entries in the Start menu, etc., but if you really must flex, just dump an unasked for shortcut on my desktop like everyone else. </rant>
