Thanks for the video @Zo - really great walkthrough of the plugin. You mention that it's really great for laying ideas down quickly, to capture the sound in your head before you forget it - would you also consider using it in the mixing stage too? You mention some other racks that you have that are admittedly more expensive, but are you more likely to use those during mixing?

For me IK is the one to go , Slate is exellent but expensive if you want a thrid of the equivalent  ... i stopped using slate because of the rack , during the mixing stage i'm not into racks to be honest , beacuse i always miss some , but the ik might be the exeption in that step also ...

Waves is for me the most mature but you have to get the plugins and it can be expensive at the end ....also the browisng can be endless ....ik is more straight to the point when it come to browsing imho .

Quality wise , ik stuff are at least as good as other hype brands , and several times i prefer their stuff on bilnd test ....

Will the price be lower for BF than the current crossgrade price? (mine is $104 with jampoints)

 

Zo, see what you've done....you're killing me man!!

Guyz stop that , i really don't want to create problems ahahah .... 

It's just that what i used to do with amplitube and struggle or tracks is just smooth here .... i talked to Ryan about that , and i said that for me it's gonna shine even more at the production / sound design stage (pre production) than in the mix where i need tools with deeper options (M/S L/R , Mutibands operation ect ..)

By the way this lead to 11) requests :

11) Multiband operation spliting / freq dependant modules choices (ability to say modules 4 will be from 400 hz to 2k ) ect ....

Thks guyz for the kind words , it's not just review as you noticed ....

Key here is to show those primitive moves that are crucial during one of the most crirical process aka production stage (formalisation of an idea ...from brain to hit play and hear it !!) time is an enemy in this step 

The moves i made with those babies (Mixbox souljas ..yep gonna call them like that) are here to waranty me to rpint the DNA as fast as possible , DNA so pronounced that when i 'm gonna come back to work the track later , road will be pathed pretty precisly , nex moves will be arrangement , stucture , mix ect ...

Like i said in the video : 70 fx 149 $ = 2.12 $ per fx , unbeatable (what to say if you get it at 99 $ )

Requests have to be adressed fast by IK , the have a potential diamond here but it need to be worked well ...i hope they will be more reactif than in the past with their instruments for exemple ... 

1) Set as Default for Resizing

2) A/B option

3) One Global bar with all gui option (expand, mix /wet , volume ect ..) it's all over the place to my taste imho . Volume sliders on modules or bewteen or some

4)One Global Wet / Dry

5)EQ's and Channel strip layout , bass freq on the lower side of gui and highs on the upper ..more logical

6) Ducking option

7) Phase Switches (global and per modules)

? Modulation Matrix

9) Survey with costumers wanted modules 

10) Unlik option for dual mono processing or m/s (yeah i know ....  )

Time and Space points I had accumlated.

Oh ok , i have plenty also ...

Zo - same here  when I purchased the SDX - over time i had  built up a number of points - i think you have to register first, but then each purchase you make from them, you get some points, which you can use against new purchases

Nigel

 

 

If you buy from other shops , you still get those points when registring , this might be that if not ....?

Problem with rme is when you buy one , you re good for decades lol ....did i really complaints onthis ? Omg ....

by the way on my videos , all treatment on my voice are built in fx : eq and filters , comp and gate ... all working exellent ...

was thinking of uad for at purpose but to tell the truth i m good like that ...

Ok guyz , grab drink and chill with me on this one

I show when and how i consider using it , you will understand why i do think this one is a must have for any producer and how it's not redundant with other ik titles !!

1) Intro

2) All fun @ 3min : production stage use : drums , synth bass, synths !!

3) Conclusion @ 56.40 min

Guest : Softube monoment bass, Sugarbytes Looperator , Vertigo VSC 3 , Sonnox Limter, TR5 Opto and quad imager .

The pic is my conlusion  

I will quote myself by saying MIXBOX versus Track and amplitube  : 

"For me it's 2 diff philosophy !! It's like a different articulation on an instrument !!"

Is it really less cpu hungry and finally glitch free ?

Checked this out prices are outrageous .... not in absolute but giving the concurence .... updating komplete ultimate or v collection makes more sens ....

Also the free Studio Rack has Macro controls. You can assign them to any of the controls on any of the fx in the rack.

Oh and the Multiband split is not only one split of your choice, it's 5 splits of your choice!!

Really nice rack for free!

Rack is free but no plugin in ..... IK at least you get all type of stuff ....

I have a few Softube plugins that I like a lot. Unfortunately, in my system, every time I try to use them I have issues. For instance, I've tried to use Tape near the end of a mixing chain I was doing and my machine hangs up! The GUI of all the plugins in the session turns sluggish. And the problem is Tape for sure. If I remove it an use Waves J37 instead, for instance, everything runs fine. And I have a lot of spare CPU power... this is not the problem either.

And I'm using Softube on Wavelab or Cubase now. The Parallels synth, for instance, was crashing Cakewalk entirely.

I hope they fix this issues some day. I'll get this latest upgrade but, by your comments fellas, I don't have much hope this will change anything.

 

Sergio , try disabling Open gl option , it can be a source of problems ...

Waves v9 here on my mercury ... so yep waves is a no go for me now , thing is i loved the old one as you could see all the plugin gui at once , i m not snob , i judt like to have a global view fadt on what s in , without too mucch hassle ...

racks like ik or slate are great becaause you can tweak several stuff at once , pushing sat x , the decrasing an ssl comp threshold , ect ... interactions are handled better imho that waves with the obligation to ine by one .... with is basically a work flow killer ... and why i ain t stressing to wup since all can be done in studio one

Just to point out...we already have

Slate VMR
Soundtoys Effects Rack
McDSP Ultimate EQ
PSP InfiniStrip
Waves StudioRack
And a ton of other VST host applications

Etc...ad nauseum....we have a plethora of these types of tools already at our disposal...
and what IK should have done was considered that when launching this.  $299.99 retail
is in line with Soundtoys, but out of line with the rest.  $199.99 is still out of line,
and with the $99 crossgrade offer for existing users, we
STILL should be able to use Jampoints, and that would have created an offer where  far less
people would "balk" at this.  Most of us ALREADY have all the processors, so paying 
even $99 for a "Rack" just to be able to use our Plugins in the "500 Series" format VIRTUAL
Rack Space, just doesn't really get me "excited", and really does nothing for me that I really
can't already do!

It's like the Pro Channel, which is nothing more than a "glorfied" second VST effects bin with a 
Proprietary interface!  It's really kewl, I'll admit, but is it "really" necessary? 

Nope.

in all those exemples , the oly one that can compete is waves one because of the fallowing : gtr stuff availlable , the IK is for me a welcome addition because i need to design sounds or colors early in , i don't see it as a mixing tool mainly , but really something like futzbox on stereoid .... 

If i want to compress , eq or and amp i will not go here but if i want complex chain to reach what i have in head  : bingo ..instead of making endless chains outside

Finishing a mix and will try to do a video  ..... i really think people have a "to classical" view on this ....the name implies something not specially true , but limiting .....for me it's really a sound design tools and a "build my own processing "tools ...like building my plugin (with modules) .... modualr plugin !!

NO....Licenses are tied to the Hardware...when you buy a UAD Plugin it is 
tied to whatever hardware you own....it should let you select which piece of 
hardware you want to the License to be tied to

lol i swear i'm trying hard to understand lol actually reading this 

https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002364103-UAD-Plug-In-Licensing-Explained

I understand system concept but i'm still lost , anyway , i think the best is to do it the regular way , but again i missed great sale , the 10 for 749 was exactly what 's needed

EDIT : by the way just talked to my friend (boss) and he told me that UA california have burned in fires ? dammnn

When he registers ultimate it must be tied to the card...not his interface.  When he transfers
you the card, he should transfer the TIED PLUGINS ONLY to you...giving YOU the card and 
the plugins

Is there an option to do so ? Tied plugins diffrent from licences , right ?
