Greg Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I’m seeing $299 for the TS 3 Max upgrade. I think the only item I don’t have is Philharmonic 2. I have Philharmonic 1. Edited May 13, 2021 by Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My offer is 299$, and even though I have 189$ in Jampoints, it's a special 200$ code that brings it to 299$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL NOW, with getting this, I just saved another $100! So, it was like getting it ALL for FREE! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have not need or desire for it. I just use T-Racks and AT 5. I even remove all the free Sample Tank stuff I got over the years. It just takes up space and I never use it. There is only one thing I am sort of interested in from IKM is MODO Bass if it shows up on group buy.

Yan Filiatrault Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It’s funny to see how one freebie can make a difference. For all those complaining about the high upgrade price, I’m pretty sure many will buy it to get the time-limited freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I bought TS3 Max shortly after release, and believe me I really wasn't "happy" about it as a Total Studio Max 2 owner...(as every one here is well aware! ). Getting this for free is something completely new for IK, and I have to admit that it makes me VERY happy for them to finally "come to the party", rather than their usual RAPING.... IK is one of those "There's so many good things and so many bad things" companies. Those have to be weighed in the balance! The saving grace for them is the quality of the product. If you can get TS3 Max for $3 or 4 Hundred, and have the Jampoints to drop that price by 30%, as just buying this one compressor is going to cost you a min of $70 with Jampoints, I'd say do it. Remember, the products that you already own can be sold (if allowed) to reduce that expense even further. If you want to know if a product can be sold, click on the "License" Tab under the product in your account. If the red "Transfer" button shows up then you can sell it. Products received under promotions, or with hardware, can't be transferred. But here's the kicker...they're a TOUGH sell, so keep that in mind when pricing them!

They are a tough sell because KVR is constantly flooded with people trying to get rid of them . The IKM business model is, they hook you into their ecosystem with a cheap deal, then they manipulate you to keep buying more stuff, and torture you with spammy malware like ads for all the things you don't have, and then once you have had it with their products, they spit you out and find the next sucker to do it to. They have no commitment to customers and care little to keep them because they work with cheap pricing. IKM are here to remind you of the old truism. "You get what you paid for in this world."

Can’t use Jampoints, because of the discount code automatically applied, so my upgrade price is 299$ firm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecode 101 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) also, they now have their Leslie on sale. (So many sales going on at IKM.. I can't keep up with all the sales anymore). You can get Tracks Lesie for $35 with JP or get collection for $69 or so. FWIW.. Leslie is in IMO one of their better sounding sims and I haven't seen anyone else that has anything like it. I use it exclusively in AT 5 as I do a lot of weirdo Marc Ribot and David Lindley tones. Edited May 13, 2021 by telecode 101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargg Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Anyone tried this, and compared to the UAD Distressor? I've got that, so think I'm good, unless they've made this way better.. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, and it's quite nice, but I don't have the UAD to compare to, so can't speak to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
