While the download Amplitube shows 4.9.1, but when you install it, it's 4.9.0, which is the same version already installed. Also, the Custom Shop that gets installed with BOTH installers is still 1.8.0 which gives the "infinite update loop"

Yes that "used" to be the case, but NO MORE. You must PURCHASE the product now. If you get it "free" in a promotion then it doesn't qualify. I know! I would have already purchased Total Studio Max if you were able to. The option wasn't available in my account. Only the "Crossgrade" for $80 more. They changed their policy from "any Max Title" to "Any PAID Max Title", thus rendering the "Max Your I/O" Promotional offering "ineligible"

Custom Shop update has not been uploaded yet. It still shows 1.8, which creates the "infinite loop". Guess I'll scurry off and do it all manually!

That Upgrade is for owners of TOTAL STUDIO MAX 1...not Total Studio 1, 2, OR 3... If they don't show up in your account then you can't buy them... I own Total Studio 3, and we've already had this conversation...there was NO UPGRADE PATH OFFERED, not does ANY show up in my account. And, since I wanted the Total Studio Max "Designation", despite the fact I already own just about EVERYTHING, I bought the Axe I/O to get Amplitube Max to be able to upgrade at the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, and LOW AND BEHOLD, at the VERY SAME TIME, IK changed their POLICY to "ANY PAID MAX TITLE" from "ANY MAX TITLE". I still have ALL my original receipts, and I went through IK support and THEY assured me that THERE WAS NO UPGRADE OFFERED for Total Studio 3 Owners. I've been going on about this FOR YEARS!!! PS. My purpose was to show HOW MUCH we paid when we bought it "back when" and then got the shaft not being offered ANY upgrade path to Total Studio Max in ANY form...

I ran it after update and they weren't there...so probably showed up shortly thereafter! Thanx ZT!!!

Back to $143 now!

Buy a MIDI Keyboard/Controller and get ST 4 FREE (although it will probably be useless because they won't let you upgrade it if it's the same as their "Max your I/O" promotion ?) https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/index.php?id=fillyourtank2020

Ran CS and it said it was out of date and to download update. Update shows same version I have installed. Installed anyways... Same message....YAY IK!

Run Waves Central to update

You can get Ovox for $42.97 with this deal...lowest price so far... http://everyplugin.com/ovox-vocal-resynthesis.html

That's an accurate synopsis...

I agree...that's not good business... They have officially cut off upgrades to SD3 from SD2 and before...

Subscriptions and Upgrade excluded http://everyplugin.com/waves.html

I'm sure this is one of the reasons that they kind of "Forcing" the upgrade...because the new, improved, format is not backwards compatible.

So, was it worth it? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hornet does....because just about every plugin is on sale every week...

I don't see a reason why there would be a problem. Should work fine. Internal is always preferable...but should still work ok.

Games, just like Audio, require faster drives...i.e...7200 RPM or above. USB 3 has helped throughput, so it's not as critical now, but faster drives perform better for games, video, and audio

Plugin wise...I've already given up everything else....LOL

My younger brother is a HUGE gamer. He has just about EVERY system ever made...STILL! He has both X-Box One and PS4...he spends WAY to much time playing games for a man who is almost 50! LOL
