The main advantage of a MEMS mic is their low part-part variation and stability with time and environment . A condenser mic has a charged mylar diaphragm that dissipates over time and humidity while a MEMS mic has a built-in regulated power supply that doesn't degrade over time. Also, the MEMS mechanics are set by integrated circuit lithography which is very consistent across different builds. Condenser mics have much more variability across different builds. The big disadvantage of MEMS mics are their reduced dynamic range. The highest SPL they can tolerate is 120-130dB (depending on the mic model) and they have low SNR (65dB is GREAT for a MEMS mic) due to their tiny silicon diaphragm. Neither of these are issues when used as a reference mic in our studios. So are there significant improvements? Yes there are to IK. To you, maybe not so much unless your existing mic is "old".

No Coupon here, either. Please report back what support said. Thanks!

ST2 sounds need to be imported into ST3 in order to be accessible to ST4 which cannot directly read ST2 files. Is there a way for ST3 or ST4 to export those ST2 files into the more modern format so I don't have to go thru that again when I rebuild/reformat/reset my DAW?

only 30sec of violations, though.

The 2.0.13 zip file is dated 2016 (as is the embedded dll) but the 1.04 dll is dated 2017. Which version should I be using?

Grrrr, iLok. Nevermind.

Just got a coupon in my email to get the Micbus32C for $79 when upgrading to v6. I don't know if it's a personalized code or if we all get the same code, but keep your eyes open for your email.

I contacted them and gave them my Paypal transaction ID and their Invoice # but have not yet heard back. I have yet to get any magazine or codes. Glad I only lost $2, I guess.

Paypal shows I paid 1.99 Euro but falkemedia shop still shows I have not purchased any downloadable media. How long do I have to wait for the funds to transfer to them overseas? Note: when making an account there was no option to select the USA, so I selected Germany but I used my Texas address. Think that makes any difference? I received the email saying I setup the account (I think that's what it says).

Check JRR again. They now have XLN paks on sale. https://www.jrrshop.com/xln-audio?dir=asc&order=name

Just to close the loop, I WAS able to get this crossgrade to work even tho I paid $0 for all my previous Izotope stuff. Thanks everyone.

Yes, I paid $0 due to coupons, etc for DDLY and all the different Elements, as well as a few others. My only issue is that when I registered my products at Izotope they all show up as $0 paid. How do they know that? It must be built into the serial #.

And where can I find Phoenix for $10? I have 6 Izotope products but they were each free, so I don't qualify for the deal.

Maybe there here: https://www.sonarworks.com/blog/ebook/successful-studio-setup/ https://www.sonarworks.com/blog/

I've only used MIDI Guitar with my acoustic and it works very well. It probably works just as good with electrics. I believe their documentation says it works best with unprocessed direct signals.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned MIDI Guitar as a good way to convert guitar audio to MIDI. It works very well.

Perfect time to get Bass Slapper and Bass Fingers. $27 for the two.

Sure is! I thought that was why they're sucking us in with the cheap start-up prices - so they can make $$ on the WUPs.

Contact AAS and they will swap out any dups you have for others you don't have.

By an AAS pack for 50% off and get another one free! Not bad...

Got a reply saying what y'all already know. I can either buy the individual plugin for $49 (which comes with the MDMX plugin, which I already have in Mercury) or I can upgrade the entire ARC for $25.

Berserker showed up once I updated Waves Central to the newest version. But Abbey Road Saturator has not. It's part of the Abbey Road Collection and I'm fully WUP'ed. I sent in an email to Waves support to see what's up.

iLoud monitors are still on sale. My PC speakers just went out so got wife approval to buy a pair. She likes to listen to videos of dog rescues.

Don't know about ToneBoosters, but the main thing I like about Sonarworks vs ARC (I have both, too) is the "Systemwide" aspect. Sonarworks doesn't have to be a plugin that you turn on/off. You can use it as a Virtual Audio Device. Everything goes thru it - DAW output, streaming, Skype, etc. When you print your final mix, Sonarworks Systemwide correction is not added to the mix since it's not a plugin. The DAW doesn't even know it's there. It's the same affect as if your speakers themselves have been corrected.

You'll need the studio one, unless you only mix with headphones.
