Yes, I'm sure you used the AXE I/O for everything done in house for actual release. But for the sake of understanding user experience was curious about using other interfaces. It sounds like the process needs the specific impedance that a normal interface isn't going to provide. (thus the re-amp box). I've heard very good things about the interface, but it is also limited in the inputs it offers (though I appreciate the uniqueness of the inputs it does have). Some of us have access to better amps than IKM does (A Trainwreck Rocket for example), but that might not do much good without the proper interface/setup.

Respectfully, my post seemed pretty clear to me addressing the basic question of what happens if you had v1 to 1.5 full version and if you buy this new SE version with the three kits you are missing.

Has your team tested this with interfaces that don't have an "amp" out? Any differences with the capture results?

Yes. I did this when I could get it with the JamPoints discount a couple months back. Had Full Modo drum 1.whatever, then got the SE which includes the full kits. As long as you update 1.5 for the full...the new kits will show up. That said, I recall a major PITA to make the software actually see all the kits. I had to physically move folders around and other non-sense. Just a heads up, but it can be done.

Thinking about buying a 3rd copy here. If it wasn't for that other Amek console that is coming down the pipe..... That is actually one of the only plugins from PA I now consider a "need." It just does quite a lot of good in a CPU friendly package.

Yep except for non-resizable GUI,tied to ilok limitations and lack of mix control on the compressor but the overall sound is certainly covered.

This, once you use it, I find it impossible to use a standard PAN knob without getting annoyed in headphones. If it would just be integrated into the DAW all problems would be solved.

Looks like a cool update but highly disappointed this wasn't the opportunity to add the Pro Channel version.

I think this means we won't see any cool deals until after July 30th on $31 items that the majority don't have already.

I kind of wonder what the deal is, I used the 60 previously, but the 70 doesn't work for me.

Well given that you can pick up any of the new releases for $31 on day of release....to jog the memory here in the PA world that kind of pricing took almost a year wait. Even a $75 voucher wasn't getting things that low for months. I'd like the voucher Min to go away as well, but for new product releases in PA terms, this is as good as I ever remember seeing them. For old releases, sure it stings a bit. I'm curious on how efficient the new Console will be. The Amek EQ 200 itself is about double the resources of the whole Amek 9099 console. And I'm assuming the EQ section has the same algos under the hood just like they did with the Amek 9099 EQ well before the console release.

Seem odd they have a picture of what I have to assume is the Amek EQ250 that was announced before, but no detail on it. And I don't think the Amek Console 200 was on a previous "to be released" announcement.

Log into your account and add it to your cart, should auto add a code for you unless they changed it.

I went ahead and bought it from another retailer (AudioDeluxe) as they were the cheapest for someone who already used a referral code in the past. If you have referral credits in your account from other people using your code, they will not let you use it for MTurboAmp during this special intro price. Personally I thought that was pretty lame and a poor way to support people that are out there spreading the good word about Melda in the first place and driving new business to them. That said, the intro pricing was lower than I expected them to come into the market with, so didn't make a big stink about it.

Yes according to the initial emails.

Well in this case they are using AI in the plugin and thus the phrase "smartest" is pretty easy to back up when they released it there certainly were not many others using any assistant based technologies. Sonible came out right about the same time if I remember correctly.

see the op

The Soundwide Intro bundle also provides the opportunity to grab a license for each of those. I think I now will have 4 copies of each if I redeem my code from the bundle. Either that or sell them off to fuel other purchases.

Might want to wait a day on this sale per the above if you are not maxing out a voucher, etc. If the 17.76 sale is actually good for 48 hrs.

I have mtd but I think it needs more modules that are straight forward like a guitar pedal. I use mturbo reverb a bit but the delay have some trouble getting what Im after pretty frequently. As for IKM. They took on the whole gammut of plugins from hardware simulation on both the instrument and effects side. Not sure of anyone else that does both as well. Though outside of group buys not exactly known for budget/value. And agree they need to work on the update process both pricing and technical execution. I'd also like to see them work on efficiency of computer resources.

If they didn't update the efficiency of the Neural Q after release, it might be worthless for practical use.

Perhpas, but I can't imagine aquiring it any other way. ?

I get this, though I DO own the product it says I don't https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mixbox/index.php?p=versions

I'm betting it doesn't. Percent used will vary, but compare mixbox with a few modules that equals channel processing is going to be more of a resource hog than a more efficiently coded set of tools from some other plugin makers. Fact remains Mixbox is more resource intensive then other tools on the market AND the sunset verb on its own while it is far from the most resource intensive verb on the market - it is more intensive than the old T-Racks verbs that are already in mix box...thus the likelyhood this update makes mixbox less of a resource hog seems unlikely. I like the concept of mix box, but think it needs some efficiency work to be a go to across all track as such a tool should be designed for.

I'm betting this update won't help that MixBox is a resource hog....adding some higher end resource hungry Reverbs to it. Saddly, also think this should be a free update for Sunset Racks owners who also have Mixbox.
