Thanks, that's great information. I have used each of those resources and have had some luck with IRs from each of them but I have to admit I never thought of blending them, that's brilliant thank you.

First, thanks for the detailed writeup, very cool and glad to hear a lot of these points. To the quoted part: What IRs are you using? I know that matching everything is an art form but I am curious nonetheless. I am going to have to search for some that work with TONEX Cab and my gigging acoustics too because I can see using it for acoustic guitar and I am happy that I can very easily work in some electric which I tend to avoid sometimes due to the logistics of solo gigs and all. Thanks again for the great writeup!

iLoud Micro Monitor, and iLoud Micro Monitor Pro. Much more than just computer speakers, they are legit and you can absolutely mix with them on the go. The non-pro are only $/€349.99 MSRP and currently in US/Canada are on sale for a great deal lower. I have a couple of pairs of those and haven't made the jump to the Pro units but I'm getting those for my downstairs jam spot / DAWless quick recording area.

For those having issues, we posted this around but I wanted to post here (since I'd probably get deleted if I posted in its own thread): Important Update: We will be taking our sites and services down for maintenance to fix the intermittent issues on our web platforms/services. We expect the outage to last 30 minutes but it could be longer (though we aim for it to be 30 minutes). Thank you for your patience and support, we appreciate it and you.

I verified with our Support Manager that your issue is being handled with urgency.

Sorry about the ticket thing, our IT staff is aware of site issues and is working on them. In the mean time could you PM me your IK username and order number and I'll see what's going on? We will take care.

We did. When WE announced it. Sorry that a dealer opened their listing before we did, I think the listing that looked more like TS4 than TS5 might have been cause for hesitation personally.

If you have a paid version of T-RackS 6, your T-RackS 5 plugins will work in it. The only one that doesn't work this way is the free T-RackS 6 Intro version. Also covered in our FAQ at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/index.php?id=1517 My statement that was quoted above was factual, not misleading.

Ah I see screwheads mentioned, I forgot to include that in my reply. I thought it interesting that we removed the screws but left the rack ears with empty holes. Overall it still looks way cleaner.

Also might be worth it for those who would like to upgrade their T-RackS 5 plugins to work in T-RackS 6 as the $30+ tier includes Total Studio Essentials which is T-RackS 6, TONEX SE (which unlocks unlimited User Tone Model downloads on ToneNET), AmpliTube 5 SE, and SampleTank 4 SE.

The yellow was muted/changed and I've seen mixed opinions on it but I don't mind it personally. I like the red Opto Compressor and don't think the color changed too drastically but the other elements changed a bit more. I see the dinosaur mentioned and surprised there's not a lot of back-and-forth but that has to be the most polarizing UI element we've ever had. He fought for his spot and evolved a bit but in the end more people hated him than loved him so he's gone.

The previous was an error, those who honored it that's on them to decide. This is also an error and not the current price we set for the product, 99.99 is the current sale price for T-RackS 6 MAX. Which is... $100 off the upgrade price.

It was not intentional. It was a dealer mispricing, then a couple of others noticed and matched. If you were here having found and then trying to help manage getting it fixed promptly when some of the players move a bit like a monolith you would curse the glitch and never want to do it intentionally. It was a bit of a nightmare here on our side. Nobody was happy, not the dealers involved not the dealers who weren't and wondered what the.., not us.

Thank you for the kind words. There are a lot of reasons, though, that I may not be on forums as much. Yes, some forums are not interested in reps posting and I get it, but it does make it difficult to know what to say and what not to. On top of that, I'm in charge of a lot of things (technically my title is Digital Marketing Manager) and have been at IK so long that I tend to be able to do a lot of things to help out internally when the need arises so things can get a bit, busy. That sounded like a lot of excuses, but that's not how I meant it. I think most people here know I do my best to be transparent about things like that and don't like to disappoint. That's fair too. Thank you for the kind words and the constructive criticism. This forum may know and believe more than most that I and quite a few IK employees have been relaying the good, bad, and ugly and have gone to the mat for some nice changes (like the elimination of the sound reactivation period/fees, one-click free transfer of TONEX Pedal/ONE with the great software bundled with it, etc). We're not all the way there for everything but progress has been made. Thank you for the kind words, I'll let the support team know (they deserve to hear some nice things since I spend some of my time sending not-so-nice or fun requests from users online) too. And, judging at least by this response yes I do appear! Like a genie but without the three wishes haha. Seriously, though, genies always have tricks with those wishes, I'll try to affect change without the trickery best I can.
