For me it was probably the Comprexxor, as I realized it shortly after IK released it that if I master it then it could be the one compressor to rule them all. But also ARC, and Sampletron since I didn't have any 'tron' instrument and this one comes with much more than just the core sound. Besides this, I could complete my T-racks, Amplitube and Sampletank collections altogether thanks to this group buy. It's a deal of the decade for me

All right, I'll pass then.

You need to move along your upgrade prices Zo. If your sampletron upgrade is 199 then buying it will unlock anything up to 199 as a freebie for you, including upgrades/crossgrades to other software. If you have some jammies then you can make a good deal buying gear credits, that should be around 150-160 and then use your jampoints on top of it. Sweet deal. FWIK the free stuff won't be removed from your account after the group buy finished. But you may loose some jampoints that you gained with software you're selling out.

His face says it all ?

my laptop is i5-3340M 8gb ram 128ssd and my desktop i7-6700 16gb ram 256ssd both win10 clean install, apart from chrome on laptop both kept out of any extra software to keep them in best shape for music work AT4 is crashing about same on both my systems, I could start using just AT5 but I have too many projects with AT4 in them already as I get exactly the sound I'm looking for from the Fender and Fultone collections in AT4 plus it takes less RAM than AT5 when multiple instances in one project IIRC you can't use the new X-Gears in that version unfortunately, need at least 5.1

I don't mean only high CPU. Yes, it takes a huge slice of CPU for what it is, a guitar amp software, but also huge share of disk space of my tiny SSD. And RAM. As if it was supposed to being used alone in music production, no other synths or processors allowed needed in the project. There is no other piece of software on my PC of that size I recon, apart from the biggest Kontakt libraries. All of my DAWs, virtual instruments, effect processors, all other guitar suites are much smaller. This one is huge. The other problem is occasional crashes starting with AT4. Even the biggest Kontakt libraries are never crashing for me.

On my PC it's a real hog.

I've noticed that typically I can find my coat much easier after typing in some less proper content. ?

Are we now supposed to build a new IK GB thread up from scratch to beat KVR?? ???

Yup! And you'll find them on the list of your free picks... Pretty generous from IK, indeed

Too late, I already bought it ? with my upgrade price of course. Sweet. I think the deal lasts until 10th of October (more-less).

Another great sale I'll probably miss because no end date given ???

That's what I already do with fultone's TERC and it's getting quickly high on CPU and RAM if I want to slap a few instances on some keyboards and guitar tracks, so I'm trying to stay mostly on AT4 to save a bit. But I get it that X-Gear can only work in AT5 now.

Dang, and a bummer. Minor one but still. No, Pete I mean their software alter-ego. It would have been a huge breakthrough if we could use them, and some other like the Fulltone processors, as a singles in our DAW for mixing.

Are the new X-Gear pedals software versions working as a, kind of, Amplitube singles... finally?

@ Ed, couldn't find your free MIDI keyboard there, they are all coming with a price tag... ?

Yeah, really nice! Fuels the excitement for the GB! This wasn't supposed to happen. How could it happen then, anyway? Thanks, IK!

Oh really?? st**pid youtube... how about now?

If you're mixing for yourself then you definitely wouldn't want to miss the Bus Compression. It's great. And my personal favorite tape machine for color is:

Guys, don't get sucked into this. It's terrible scam imo. One of the things that I appreciate about forums like this is that I can always ask for opinion on some products and get credible and helpful responses. So here is mine: just listen to these samples, they are of General Midi level, I'm pretty sure you all have many much, much better sample packs already. The grooves may seem useful for someone who thinks he's got nothing like that, but they're so generic, definitely not for that money. And today it's so easy to find too many MIDI files, even free ones. Grooves as simple as that I can do off head in no time, I'm sure you can do too. In any case, just think twice.

If you don't have any of the mics from the list, it's still useful when you need to double the same take and make it sound a little bit different.

PRO-LEVEL note values pack. Used only by PRO-LEVEL artists.

Unison MIDI pack might get you there even quicker ?

LOL yeah, de ja vu

Are the drum MIDI packs usable in other drum plugins/DAWs if someone doesn't have any Toontrack products but would want to use just the MIDI?
