The Library.db would be the file you want to use for that, it would be a lighter weight way to keep things in sync from what I can tell for your situation.

My "thanks" on your post was from the team that did most of the work and not me who did more of the complaining and relaying part of the task Just so it didn't look like I was taking credit for actually implementing these features directly.

Sorry but it absolutely did not. While CS was made part of AmpliTube 5 there was much more going on than simply adding Custom Shop directly into AmpliTube 5. In fact the only real overhead there would be network when you connect and browse etc. I do appreciate your confidence in something you don't have direct insight into, but please note that anecdotal data is exactly that... You're welcome to report any issues you have to IK Support and I'm sure they'll be able to help figure out what is causing issues for you. Thanks!

It backs up to your Documents > IK Multimedia > TONEX folder on that computer on which you are running TONEX so I wouldn't recommend pointing it to a shared location as that could have interesting results but you could try to restore it to a clean install on another machine to test restoring the library on another machine. However it does back up more than just the Library.db so your results may vary and it is probably better to just use that for quicker transfer/synching.

Correct, while we essentially decoupled it from ToneNET which was confusing to users the additional filtering and the layout in this update make it far less a "store" and in general it is much easier to see what you want to see with TONEX 1.5 than previously. Also, CPU usage did not double from adding any "store" to AmpliTube 5 either. Baking Custom Shop inside as an option to click was not a huge resource hog.

299.99 is the full MAXgrade price. Larry's post contains the $50 and $100 off options. I understand that you feel the addition of 30 new products (including TONEX MAX, a new and sought-after flagship product among them) since Total Studio 3.5 MAX is worth $99 to you, maybe we'll have something that hits both your preferences and your budget at some point in the future. Thanks for your input and consideration. I will look into what the ***** is wrong with us pronto, though, as that sounds very concerning. Since November 9, 2023.

We have made improvements to the CDN used as well as the installation process overall (including server-side updates) so it does make sense that everything shows correctly now and is smoother in general. We've seen people who have reinstalled some very large libraries with only a few clicks and zero issues since this change and will continue to monitor and make sure the changes provide a better experience and continue to move forward.

Based on your profile picture I just have to say I didn't do ******* ****! Edit, though, to clarify I did have a bit to do with this so I did do ******* ****. That would be something for the support team to look into by looking directly at your account. IK Product Manager did not have offline authorization from the go. However a bug that was requiring you to be logged in to IK Product Manager to use your products has been fixed. It was only meant for the new Pianoverse subscriptions (log in every 72 hours) but it affected other products and has been fixed, if that's what you meant. Yes!

Did they comment on whether it is a family/friend relationship destroyer like the Overcooked titles? Asking for a friend...

Took a bit long to get to "why do I need this if I haven't finished the Overcooked series and/or still have the 50 Cooking Mama etc at my disposal" twist than I'd like but looks like an interesting twist on the genre. Free is free and even without that difference I'd have downloaded it though. I do hope they start giving away some smaller titles that feature Unreal Engine 5 so we can get a better idea about how it benefits the people playing the games while we wait (likely to see Godot arrive first) for titles like Rocket League to update to UE5...

It lists what is specifically new in v2. From that document: New in SampleTank 4 MAX v2: 64 SampleTank 4 libraries and SampleTank-powered virtual instruments. 361 GB of new sound content.

Yes, added emphasis to this post from above:

Also, the best way to get the most out of this and tee up for Total Studio 4 MAX down the road would be to get SampleTank 4 MAX v2 in this deal because it contains all the other VIs that are in this promo anyway so for 69.99 you get the Pokemon catch em all for a much better price. And yes, you would then still qualify for MAXgrade pricing on Total Studio 4 MAX.

Yes JamPoints can be used to take off an additional up to 30% off these prices. We still have MAXgrade pricing for Total Studio 4 MAX and don't plan on removing that at this time, I can't guarantee forever but I see nothing on the horizon to change that. Looking at what's on the plate for the rest of this year I don't see much confusion in the promotions.

The next one is this Friday. I don't think they changed anything at all after Epic bought them so I hope this current shuffling doesn't change much either. @PavlovsCat The Bandcamp Fridays are popular with indie musicians and someone I believe we both know pretty well seems to use Bandcamp extensively: https://sonicelements.bandcamp.com/ (though I have the CDs - yes I still buy CDs - of New World and Static, I also have purchased them through Bandcamp and on Bandcamp Fridays of days gone by since Dave tends to remind people about Bandcamp Fridays especially when he has a current release he's promoting).
