You can get it (and other free plugins) directly from the vendor here: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/#/pages/plugins.

Maybe the new Magic owners are trying to establish a higher floor for the products to increase the perceived value. I’ve purchased the previous versions because they were so cheap, but $45 is higher than the impulse buy threshold for me.

$45. I didn’t see a cheaper option (like $1 as in the past).

Note that MixBox has been discontinued, so if a future macOS release breaks it, it won't get fixed. But I really like it--definitely worth the freebie choice. Getting the MixBox license will also unlock it on iOS/iPadOS though you might not be able to install the app if you didn't previously install it.

The iRig Acoustic Stage was introduced in 2017 but apparently it’s been discontinued (late 2024 according to AI), so it’s no longer a current product.

Here's a current product they have (so they do have experience with acoustic guitars): https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigacousticstage/ ... I don't have any experience with it, though it seems to be just mixing in the MEMS mic with the piezo input. Here's a site with info on generating your own IR: https://www.acousticir.ovh/rubrique21.html ... though you can just find other IRs in the database that may work well enough.

Great idea! They already have all the hardware needed. Just need to implement ML to generate the IR.

Now, it shows all the freebies redeemed and just the next one available to be redeemed, in order to lessen the load on the server. The change was made when the server was melting down (really slow) the last week.

Actually, if you have AmpliTube 5, you'll get the latest version of AmpliTube. The AmpliTube 5 MAX V2 adds a number of additional collections to AmpliTube 5 MAX. The way to go from AmpliTube 5 MAX to V2 is by adding the following: AmpliTube MESA/Boogie 2 Collection X-GEAR: X-DRIVE X-TIME X-SPACE X-VIBE

Same price at Plugin Boutique ... but can get freebie.

If you in the future transferred TONEX MAX, you’d still keep the freebies.

Hm. I had looked here: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/allingb2025/ * Excluded products: TONEX Pedal Bass Edition, TONEX ONE Bass Edition, TONEX Signature Bass Collection, ReSing MAX, ReSing, non-upgrade versions of TONEX, AmpliTube 5, SampleTank 4, and Miroslav Philharmonik 2. Also excludes T-RackS Space Delay, Lo-Fi Punch, and Tape Echo. @Peter - IK Multimedia 👆 Perhaps the above exclusions need to be amended.

Nice deal. Seems it should get you into the group buy at the $199 tier.

I had refunded my original T-RackS 6 purchase. I got T-RackS 6 MAX with the TS 5 MAX upgrade which has everything.

I agree re: Pianoverse—high quality pianos at the expense of disk space and CPU. Highly recommended. If you want specific recommendations, I’d start with Y7 (Yamaha C7) in full band mix or NY or Hamburg (U.S. or German Steinway) for solo piano. But it’s nice to get them all. I have the Natural presets favorited for all the pianos, as that’s the basic preset.

I picked up the ARC Studio for $249.99 - $75 JamPoints, as I had 70 JamPoints that were expiring. I’ll only be able to redeem the four most recent TONEX signature collections as freebies. In retrospect, I probably didn’t need to buy the Total Studio 5 MAX upgrade for $79.99 (for T-RackS 6 MAX, Pianoverse MAX, and TONEX Signature Collections Vol. 1) but I can’t complain that it was a bad deal.

It's now been updated to include hardware (as reported before) and lowered the price to $49.99! This will accelerate the GB.

That is true, but I remember the hardware at the time was listed under the qualifying products. This group buy, currently, only software is eligible. I hope some hardware gets added to the list.

"When you purchase and register a qualifying product below for just $99.99 or more, you can select two additional software titles of equal or lesser value for FREE!" But there are products that are in the qualifying list that are $49.99 so I think the above needs to be corrected.

Thanks. I updated my post.

This seems to qualify for only $24.99. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/64-Virtual-Instrument/14105-Miroslav-Philharmonik-2 Update: on list of excluded products.

Since I recently got Total Studio 5 MAX, the only things I don't have are the most recent Tonex Signature Collections (ENGL and Brown Sound x 3). Seems only the software are currently eligible. I'd be interested in buying hardware (ARC Studio, or ARC X with mic) if it were eligible. I may end up sitting this one out, but it could be an incredible deal for others. I remember previous group buys fondly, getting almost everything in TS3MAX for dirt cheap.

I hear you. What they charge for Pianoverse MAX on sale ($99.99) would buy just a single piano library from another vendor. It does take a lot of space, but it ranks up there for sound quality. I hope they eventually sample e-pianos as well.

It turns out that it's ST4 MAX, not V2, at PB. But I did find ST4 MAX v2 at Sweetwater and B&H for $49.99, well worth the extra $20.
