Aren't they offering a grace period upgrade to Amplitube 5 SE for people that bought recently? It may be a while before this is in one of the bundles.

Just like "complete" bundles from others, Total Studio 2 MAX contains what is available when it was released and is not a subscription or similar where new products are added. It is also available currently for pennies on the dollar and has been for months in a huge promotion. The upgrade to AmpliTube 5 SE/5/MAX is not a huge amount and note that even if you paid $179.99 for Total Studio 2 MAX in the promo, you get JamPoints based on the MSRP of the version you bought which can be used to take off an additional up to 30% off the AmpliTube 5 intro pricing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Studio 2 MAX does not unlock free AmpliTube 5 SE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGinz Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I was looking at the new deal on the Z Tone DI, ($225) which appears to come with the full Amplitube 5. I had been contemplating (if the VIR technology pans out) updating my Amplitube 4 Max to Amplitube 5 GE for about $70, using Jam points. The Z Tone deal, using Jam Points, would run around $158, but I would be getting the DI box and a few extra new Amplitube modules thrown in too. Hmmm..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just remember that products that come with hardware are NFR, and NFU (Not for upgrade)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s true, but does IK really do “upgrades” anymore ? If it’s a future “crossgrade” promotion, I’ve got enough other IK stuff that I suspect I’d be eligible.

When you get AT 5 included with hardware, as far as IKM is concerned, you didn't actually pay for the product. They gave it away to you as a freebie. So you don't qualify for any crossgrade promos. You would have to use other software you actually paid for to get any crossgrad or upgrade promos. Not a big deal really as long as you aren't in a hurry to get the software. IKM constantly do promos and offers. FWIW.. I just bought the DI to get AT 5 SE. I don't need all the other collections in AT 4. It's quite a good DI. It makes quite a difference in signal quality going to the DAW. Edited December 9, 2020 by telecode 101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have AT4 Max, and all the AT modules I need (except Satriani) and most of their big “deals” and releases tend to allow you to do the deal as a “crossgrade” and I still have paid versions of ST4, Syntronik, B3, Modo, you name it. I tend to keep and not sell, as well. Good to hear you like the DI Box!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We just published a new video where you can see and hear the new routing/chains in action.

Just to revisit this a bit, I may not have grasped the full impact of what Lars is saying here. If I do the bundle, am I eligible for Amplitube 5 bug fixes that IK may do e.g. in a 5.05 or 5.1? If not, that truly is a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just to let you know, so there's no surprises, as I posted on Gearslutz: While it still will be the 15th somewhere in the world, the expected general timeframe of release (Italy time) will be early afternoon December 16th. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Italy is 6 hours ahead of Montreal. So that means I should be able to download it when I wake up on the 16th... Won't sleep late on that day! Is the 16th by any chance a typo? Shouldn't it be the 15th or is there a one day delay? Does that include CS for those of us who haven't preordered? Is demoing only possible through CS?

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 While it will technically still be the 15th somewhere, the 16th afternoon Italian time (so also the 16th for the continental US etc) is not a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
