As much as a really like the multi-arp stuff in this one, I'll just wait until next year's Black Friday sale on VC11. Already planning to upgrade to VC10 this BF. 🤣

Must have been. For $5 I might pick it up. But $70 - not a chance.

I don't see it for $5 at PB. Was this a time limited thing? Also, anyone using it, let me know how it works out. Years ago I bought into the original's pre-release that Rigid cancelled. At least I got a bunch of the instruments as a refund, although I still haven't used them. 🤦‍♂️

Total Studio 4 includes the products released at the time it came out. Many companies do the same. If you'd feel cheated, don't buy it. Wait for Total Studio 5 whenever that comes out - but then you'd have to wait for it to be heavily discounted. But if you bought TS4 MAX for $200 and felt cheated, I'm not sure what you'd be expecting. I spent $200 or so back during the group buy anniversary sale a few years ago and scored a lot of plugins, but then a month later they did the TS4 MAX deal for $200 - I did feel cheated. 🤣 That's the way the deals roll... always something better around the corner if you want to wait. TS4 MAX for $200 then the T-RackS 6 upgrade for $100 is a great deal if you need all of it. A lot of people felt cheated too when they bought T-RackS 5 MAX for $50 last month and didn't get a free upgrade to 6. But that's how it goes.

Sort of answered it in there already - it comes with T-Racks 5 Max. 6 would be separate and in TS 5 Max whenever that comes out.

Yes. Any paid version of T-RackS 6 will get you the T-RackS 6 version of the plugins you have.

I appreciate what you are trying to do, but Larry's posts seemed more targeted and focused not pages blasting everything that PB has to offer as a "deal".

Not certain, but looks like an affiliate link to me. Pretty sure that's against the rules of the forum. I agree - posting every single sale at PB is getting out of hand.

The new stuff doesn't show up in the Custom Shop. I have 15 left - only option at this point is one of the two AT5 mics I don't have for 10!

I was a bit grumpy this morning - guess I was expecting more. T-RackS 5 works fine and I'll keep using the few I still reach for in the bundle. I admit the new modules look cool, but none of them wow me. Have too many plugins that do the same thing. Still find it odd that "T-RackS 6 INTRO cannot load modules from past versions of T-RackS" although several of mine show up. So it can, but IK doesn't want you to.

Ok, I'll correct my previous post - a FEW of the ones I own are showing as owned. Maybe takes time to sync?

I just installed the Intro version and to my surprise NONE of my plugins I own are authorized. Looks like IK really is doing a number on loyal customers. I hope I'm just doing something wrong. I own most of T-RackS plugins - or I guess T-RackS 5 plugins. I hope this is an oversight otherwise I might be done with IK.

Suit yourself. I just read the forum. All seems pretty clear and Melda are working on an update for the manager. Surprised people have so much time to worry about these things, but to each their own! Melda seems to be one of the least nefarious developers out there. Anyway, even if someone wants to use the v16 plugins without the manager, the deal is still on for 10 hours.

As mentioned, I'm with the others on the 99.99999999999999% false positive. Melda is a responsible developer and if anything happened like a hack that put a virus into the installer, they'd have sent out a message. (Melda is a pretty small target for a hacker too.) You could just email them and mention it - probably would save you a lot of time!

Update is $49, free if bought in the last three months. $99 is too steep for me to jump in. I did like UBK-1 when I had the sub to try all their plugins. Love Blyss, TWK, 458a and REDDI.

No coupon for me - guess I'm still not special enough. 🤣

Think it depends on what you own? I have two of the AK products and see $77.40. 🤔

Ug! I already used my coupon for smart:gate when I thought the deal was up! Could have had smart:deess too! 🤦‍♂️ I'm only seeing smart:eq 4 for $39 - and I own it. (Also own smart:comp 2 and smart:limit) 🤣

Same! I know the upgrade is "only" $25, but still... 🤣

Yes. Worked fine for me - at least to add the code. I didn't buy anything... yet. Might need to be logged in first if you're not?

Yup, not new, but better deal - that's why I posted the same right above your comment for "custom" bundles - yours is worded a little clearer. 😂

Are you "raving about its ability to dial in natural-sounding rooms with pinpoint accuracy"? That's what the email says users are raving about! 🤣 I'm tempted, but at the same time have too many reverbs. And saturators too - to stay on topic. 😉

PA also still has a few decent bundles on sale too until the end of the month. "Perpetual" bundles: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/perpetual-bundles.html - there are some decent bundles "Custom" bundles: https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/custom-bundles.html - 4 for $70 beats 4 for $80.

You can do a lot of what Shade can do with Shaperbox I think. Shade has more filter options and a different workflow. But, yeah, demo and see. I'd love to get Shade and Shaperbox (I only have Time and Drive shapers and haven't even used those yet!), but haven't used a lot of the plugins I have that do similar things - Output Movement, Reason Synchronous, Logic Phat FX, Soundtoys Filter Freak, Snapheap/Multipass, etc. Similar reason whyI passed on the Morph EQ deal. 🤦‍♂️

Shade is a little like FabFilter Pro-Q 3 and Volcano 3 merged into one. Gullfoss is a different type of EQ compared to these. Hard for me to justify spending $39 on another EQ/filter. Just got smart:eq 4 recently and have lots of morphing filter options in various other plugins. 🤔
