I keep two copies of installers - most recent, and next to most recent, in case I have to revert, so I'd plan on about 200 Gb for everything as that would seem to be a good reference point. (mind you that that includes my SampleTank 2, and SampleTank 3 Libraries) Thanks Larry - that's quite a lot of space. Still, less than a SD3 complete install ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yan Filiatrault Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I have heard that Larry will become the new spokeperson for IK Multimedia, alongside Peter. Is that just a rumor? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.r Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I had been downloading the whole Sampletank library recently and it was 260GB for me for the whole she-bang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the uncompressed size...it's much smaller for storage purposes EDIT: I had moved SampleTank 4 Max compressed files onto my non connected drive because of the size....207 Gb! So that makes about 400 Gb for everything Edited May 13, 2021 by cclarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's partly the microphone positions on offer - up to an 11.1 configuration, as well as bleed for each mic. A summary based on info from their website: 1. Basic Sound Library All instruments, all tools and all articulations in direct microphones as well as the OH Dyn and Amb Ribbon channels. Bleed available in Snare Bottom, OH Dyn and Amb Ribbon channels. Approx. download size: 40 GB. 2. Room mics The rest of the room microphone channels (OH Cond, Amb Near and Amb Mid). Approx. download size: 46 GB. 3. Surround Setup Surround. Five channel microphone setup to achieve 5-channel surround. Approx. download size: 43 GB. 4. Height Surround Height and width. Six channel microphone setup to achieve 11-channel surround (in combination with the “Surround 1” content). Approx. download size: 52 GB. +. Additional Bleed All remaining instrument bleed, meaning the sound picked up by microphones other than the one(s) directly intended for a specific instrument or ambience. Approx. download size: 54 GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGinz Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hmm. Do any of you guys find ARC worthwhile? One of the few IK items I don’t have, and could make the move to Studio MAX at least a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 So straight up, this new T-RackS module is $69 with the $30 IK discount auto applied in my cart. The TS3 upgrade is still $299 in my cart, so if I just want the new module, $69 is not a bad price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The danger with IKM is buyers remorse. IIRC, MixBox didn't get re;eased than long ago. Neither did Space Delay. But they priced them really high initially. I think $150 or $99 .. and now I picked up Space Delay for $20.. and could have picked up MixBox for $50. It's a little nuts.

I was comparing it to TS3, which I do not need at this point, as I have all of that content that I want. Someday Comprexxor will be $20. I can wait (said with hands and wallet shaking). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some day it will probably be free too. Who knows. All depends how long one wants to wait. They gave away the Black 76 FET not long ago. That was kind of cool for people that don''t have T-racks. Very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS Max for me at $299 is a bit crazy considering I have everything but the full Philoharmonic 2 is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
