@kevin H loooooooool that was brilliant ? I'm already downloading and upgrading more than making music today. Starting with the dreaded Windows 10. I see glitches... everywhere glitches...

FYI ARC3 Software is $99.99 crossgrade price if you have already purchased anything at that price previously.

And I remember days of NI B4. My friend, who was a young programmer, being astonished with efficiency of the code (early 2000' Pentium MMX 133MHz processor didn't even notice the thing and that thing did sound real good for the times). Taking a quick look at IKM products of nowadays and gotta say, after updating Lurssen to the latest version, cpu load jumping almost twice as high as before renders the plugin unusable in even most basic mixing scenario. IKM soft do sound really good but they program it as if it's being intended for computers that will be available for buying in the next decades which of course is missing the point.

Which one is the setting exactly in Play, is there anything related on the tabs? I see one in the menu on the left that's always checked when I load a new instrument and never get saved i.e. I turn it off but the next time I will load the instrument it will go back on.

I started loving their walkthrough videos since some random time

Didn't play with it for years now but I used to use the groove quantize with audiosnap transient markers with good results. I had the bass and drum tracks to be groove-matched so I simply extracted groove from one or more tracks that I liked and quantized other tracks with it. Need to be careful while doing it though.

Think I've found a way out. Since I cannot buy, for whatever the reasons are, the ARC3 directly from IK store and use jampoints to further sweeten the deal, I figured out that I can buy just the MEMS mic from a local retailer or even get away with something like that for half the MEMS price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-ECM8000-Ultra-Linear-Measurement-Microphone/dp/B000HT4RSA/?th=1 and still get good results, and then just get the ARC3 software as a freebie as some of you suggested earlier. I'm already in the group buy with a €99 tier so I get the feeling like the ARC3 software is right now wandering quietly into my account.

Only now I've noticed that the monthly PA voucher cancelled the previous one effectively bringing the price down from 39,99 to 14,99.

Already got blessed with one and could be used successfully on this offer. Huge thanks for a lovely philanthropist! What an awesome forum.

Does it mean that the software and MEMS in the same box are matched? Or you mean it's global and I should just shut up and go buy any MEMS mic out there?

Anyone having no use for his/her $25 PA voucher?

I got H910 and was just wondering how much is this one different.

Question to anybody who knows, for sure, whether the MEMS that come bundled with the ARC3 boxed are specially calibrated for use with the dedicated software? IOW if I buy the MEMS and the ARC3 software separately, do I loose that last extra step of polish like a bundled mic calibration?

Is it worth waiting for it to go on sale? Get this or IK ARC3? I mean I am T-RackS user so the latter should possibly fit my workflow better, but does anybody use both and have an opinion? Thx

They are trying really hard to do just everything to put me off from buying from the IK shop. I wanted to buy ARC3 and make some use of my accumulated jampoints but then I'm told that they are not going to sell me any physical products below €170 so I went back to shop and added another item and now the next problem is that "Digital Delivery and Boxed Retail products cannot be mixed in the same order". Seriously, is it so hard to sell two items?? A year or two ago I was trying to buy ARC and at the final stage right after clicking the sort of "Pay Now" button I got an error screen in return. Nobody did care about that, never. Oh scratch it.

Long enough.

I just made it 614 haha

If there will be hardware also in the GB then please consider allowing for picking it as a freebie and just let us pay that shipping charge extra. I'll be looking for the new complexxer and ST expansions. Also ARC cause I missed the sale on it a year or two ago.

I'm not in hurry with buying any of the addons. Is it worth waiting for even bigger discount? Are they having any better sales during the year? Thx

Wish they could issue another $25 voucher like they did last year.

@Matthew Sorrels really appreciate your feedback. I didn't pick up any of the sale items but I have Ibrido Favola and just started wondering whether it will have same problems but didn't have time to check. I did upgrade Kontakt to 6.6.0 just recently but I'm still using the VST2 version for any major project. Was just not enough time to validate the VST3 version yet, in my opinion.

Point taken. Although it is really hard to live a life without a grain of said snarkiness .

WUP takers can probably afford Mac.

I've got Rbass as a freebie many years ago. I think that's the only one I wouldn't be able to replace if I ever decided to jump the Waves ship.

Guess they have just two floors in the building and and one of the elevator's button is broken so they're used to taking the stairs.
