ALC Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Thanks, IK! I appreciate the Tone Models Browser and User Folders. Much easier to find and categorize tone models. Big jump in usability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like there is no longer an option to change the CAB to any of the existing IRs/CABs in ones collection (other than specifically imported IRS - which is now going to be a crazy long scroll list instead of something searchable( - am I missing something or is this simplification also a major limitation?) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackson white Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 only a bit of a test drive given the need to troubleshoot the update, but provides much needed improvement to a rather convoluted interface. still a ways to go though. user folders are great, but the drag & drop behavior has me smh (keeps jumping to the target folder rather than displaying the source folder). ya, only have to do it once (or twice), but a rather tedious implementation that differs from well established OS practices... idk not sure i get the perceived priority on high gain models either, it's like they do their marketing on gearspace forums... that said, giving a shout out to the Swart from Amalgam, in addition to a nice range of Vox tones.

jackson white Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 only running the SE version but clicking on the Librarian tab (however accidentally) locks the program up forcing you to exit Tonex to do -anything- else. (smh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Anyone using standalone on Windows with a UA TB interface? I can’t switch the ASIO driver to the UA Thunderbolt option. scratch that - need to change output device before input.

Totally unnecessary for it and TRackS et al to “hog” so much space. Lazy design (typical) on the part of IKM. The installer could just as easily ask where you want this data to reside (on your sample drive; duh!) Drives me nuts! </rant> t The junction looks like this: (bear in mind that my sample drive is "V" and named VSTi. the juction is created in the Command Prompt and must be run as "administrator" do your due diligence and learn how to do it properly. IF I can do it, so can you!) mklink /j "C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\ToneX" "V:\VSTi\IK Multimedia\ToneX" ToneX 4.18gb Amp5 2.91 gb T-RackS 5 1.89gb Amp 4 1gb This should be a sticky, I'm too stupid to mess with this stuff. The issue which is turning my off towards DAW software is the addiction to bloat. Most gamer have a 2TB OS drive and 256gb is pushing it for DAW software. The rationale is disk space is cheap. Well yes if you want to compare prices from the 80's and 90's. Many users don't go back that far. Where cheap ends is the inconvenience of upgrading an OS drive and having to do that many different reauthorization schemes. That means contacting support and waiting on them, No issue if you use only iLok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SSD’s you can let yourself get lazy and ignore the “bloat”, except when you image the OS drive all that comes back to bite you in the tush. Keep the OS drive “lean and mean”, image it often and IME you’ll have a healthy and happy DAW. YMMV t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the OS drive “lean and mean”, image it often and IME you’ll have a healthy and happy DAW. YMMV t I use Tree File Size Free to see what clogs up disk space. VSTs take up little space. It's when you start looking at their presets. 256gb drive just won't do it anymore. Plus there is also non DAW software installed. Wave table synths with presets will eat up a drive. Another clogger is Live if you allow auto updates. I've had to delete those installers left behind. I keep telling myself not to fall for those Komplete upgrades. I almost went for the CE version but you acquire a lot of Maschine libraries. The biggest culprit is Reason with sample based REs. For some the makelink fails. I don't bother with it. At some point developers need to do things that a user should never have to do. I've seen some people fix NI's issues that developers need to fix.

Craig Fowler Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Does anyone know if you update whether this 'breaks' old projects that use earlier versions of Tonex? I'd assume not, but those assumptions have been wrong before! I like the sound of the updates but don't want to bork projects I'm working on!

Clearly he had early access to the release. He is doing good stuff though I also think it is odd having content creators getting all this early access as though IKM is passing off the job of updating customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
