I am checking and RE-checking my freebie choices because I already screwed up and got something I already had (Thank you Peter and IK support for bailing me out when it was all my fault). I already have Amplitube 5 cross-grade and among the packs I plan to get are SVX and SVX2. BUT, I am also seeing "SVX2 Upgrade" in my choices. Is there a difference?

I got a Peter-Poke ? in my email Wednesday evening that must have moved the mountain. Keep poking! Every level is three more in my piggy bank ?

I was wondering about this to. It looks like MIDI drag and drop and export were added in an update. See pages 12-13 in the manual.

Same here! I took a $3 trial and already cancelled, but it runs a few more days. I already had RBass but tagged the others and actually installed the ERA 5 De-Esser to give it a spin. Thanks Lars!

Looks like my pessimistic prognostication of 15 on 9/30 will be shoved aside. I hope so! Kind of cool to pick up a hand full of freebies every week or so and see the trough fill back up again. I am going to end up spending $200 credits on $50 titles, but WTH... it's fun!

But a picture is worth a thousand samples ?

Cableguys suite is a great playground. This might be a good entry to get an upgrade offer to the full pack. Even if not, this one is good for quick musical "re-rhythming" parts. Especially percussion loops for some variety. Lot's of pre-sets included.

This always looked like it might be fun. I like the Realitone stuff I have. "Hip-Hop" is not my genre, but samples plus FX equals... It was at the $100 US intro price for a long time. This one comes to about $82 USD currently. Hmmm.

You can have it ALL

The BEST bang for the buck and ease of use for a MIDI generator- bar none. Rapid Composer has 10x the capability, but a learning curve to match.

I used PayPal ONCE and learned my lesson. You may already have a credit card with zero foreign transaction fees, so check it out. I know my Visa that Costco pushed out after they dumped Amex is "good". I ask Google for "50 Euro in USD" for example, and that is the amount I get charged, give or take a few cents.

Last day for the BOGO. @Reid Rosefelt or @Scott H - Did you get Lofi Dreams? I got both Inner dimensions and Hypnotic drive. Both good, but I like the more motion/arp-y stuff like Hypnotic better. I wonder if the "Lo-Fi" is baked in to the samples/patches of Lofi Dreams. I prefer to dirty my tracks up my own self ?

Add this one to Amplitube and they will come a runnin' But it has to sparkle. Need to push the page down toward 100 anyway.

Thank you Doug! That is going to be very handy.

Yeah- I keep forgetting Mac users exist (it did occur to me after I posted) -sorry!- I tried other ASIO drivers but no luck- I could not find any i/o offered in Arc 3 except ASIO. Supposedly the ASIO4ALL developer(s) are working on supporting multi hardware, and it is supposed to work with some devices (I got a beta released this Spring) but no joy for me.

Noice! And I thought I was the only tightwad in this forum ?. I bought the same mic, and it works great with *ARC-3. Looking at the specs, I think it has the same transducer as just about every <$100 measurement mic. * Here is the fine print- It is an electret mic that needs @5 volts, so it will work straight in to your phone or PC. Alas- I could not get ASIO4ALL to allow input from one device and output to a different one. I think that may be an "ASIO" thing. So now I needed to plug the mic into my Focusrite (where my speakers are). I bought this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L42PBY5 to adapt the mic to XLR AND drop the 48volts to 5 for the mic. Now we are at about $45 with our money saving adventure (high sales taxes here). ONE MORE THING- you need to make sure your headphone adapter for TRRS 4-pole 3/8 input has a three pole 3/8 MIC output to go into the XLR adapter. A lot of "headphone" adapters ignore the mic out. I had the adapter already, or the cash outlay would be another $5 or so. If you feel like soldering and have an old XLR cable to sacrifice, you could make a voltage drop mod with one resister and one DC blocking cap. I didn't have a sacrificial cable so I took the easy route. Good luck and PM me if you hit a snag.

Boy does this look cool. Playing with the demo now. This plug is almost ten years old, but there was an update early this year. Check out the YT video. Pretty impressive on-the-fly transposition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckJIwrtm1Ng

What @Fleer said. And he has a really nice EQ that looks FABulous, and works very well for a fraction of the price. 60/30 is the best deal through the year I think, but he has been doing a 70/30 the week around Christmas. Fair prices and no copy protection.

Crafty Italians. How would you know if 100 year old vinegar went bad? ?

I looked back at the 2019 IK GB post, where they ended month one at 7 and month 2 at 10 freebies. I didn't consider the level differences or other archeo-mathematoligcal considerations, but the grounds in the bottom of my coffee cup look like a "15" to me, so that is my prediction.

Gonna have to think about this. I got R11 Suite last year (before they included the free 12 upgrade. The Subscription is definitely not for me, since I have all the Suite content already. Basically $129 for Mimic and Combi2, plus hires. Hires is a pretty big deal for my hi dpi monitor. That was a big reason that Waves beat the WUP out of me last time. I think I will see what discounts float by. JRR does not have a SKU yet, but their 11 upgrade (with free 12) is priced also at $129 and allows "forum" code for $114.81.

STOP. You are adding stuff to my list! I may have to make a fourth dip, or <shudder> wait until September 30 to see where I stand!

? But- but- I had the Amplitube running through the Leslie, and.. and I just HAD to do that open position Am arpeggio part because it sounded SO AWESOME! ?‍♂️☹️?‍♂️

Me too. I appreciate the "reminder" to pick up the free MDynamic EQ from PB before that deal expires. As usual I waited until the last minute to see if any "can't miss" deals popped up. ? I decided to go with the SoundSpot Vocal Bundle for @$8. Looks like there might be some fun in that box- not really limited to vocal application by the look of them.

The IT IK Crowd. Not to worry. 10K is in the bag!
