Tom B Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 32 minutes ago, Jacques Boileau said: I had this which I had previously used with REW software and was able to use it with arc. But I needed to install ASIO4All. Luckily, it is only needed for the measurement part and I removed it afterwards. It comes with a calibration fiel. It worked flawlessly. https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1 But if you want to use the mic for other things than measurement, you might be better off with something like this Dayton: https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/911/emm-6-electret-measurement-microphone It comes with a calibration file too and will work great with arc I am sure. Others (search this thread) have successfully used this Dayton using a conversion cable. It is cheap for sure, but sometimes you get what you pay for, so research it first. https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/1117/imm-6-idevice-calibrated-measurement-microphone Thanks for the information. The Dayton EMM-6 is (approximately) in the same price range as the IK MEMS and Sonarworks SoundID measurement microphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the IK MEMS mic', what other measurement microphones have folks used successfully? I've been looking at a couple of options.

You may need a different adapter depending on what you’re plugging into. In retrospect, I would get this instead but it’s backordered: https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-iMM-6S-iDevice-Calibrated-Microphone-Straight-390-812 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Restore My Purchases seems to have worked. Maybe I should have restarted my DAW previously after running it previously; I assumed reloading the plugin would be enough but maybe it wasn't. I also installed the latest update for Amplitube 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the Product Manager to authorize and download my SampleTank freebies. I think I had to unauthorize and reauthorize SampleTank itself, and then all my freebies were authorized as well. The Ampltube models were unlocked by restoring my gear in the most recent Custom Shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ampltube models were unlocked by restoring my gear in the most recent Custom Shop. I enter them manually in Product Manager. Then launch Custom Shop and Restore my purchases. I found that if I don't enter them into product manager they dont shop up or authorized in the DAW in plugin mode or in stand alone mode. But the process is still a little funky. Even though I have supposedly correctly installed and authorized everything I have, every once in a while I have to re-do the process because I get a pop up saying the product I am using is not authorized. I think IKM need to do some more work on the new Product Manager. Edited October 21, 2021 by telecode 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please get it together I K I have already up dated this product 5 times since I purchased it at 2.5 Gig a pop and it still wont let me slide a wave file in the 8 track recorder Rant over Kenny Until they resolve this, you can minimize the agravation by simply rolling back to the previous version. 5.1.1 didn't include the try & buy integration so this screen is not in it. Just go to your product page (not the procuct manager) ann under your puschase there is a tab called 'past releases'. Just install 5.1.1 over what you currently got and you should be good to go. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
