A mild grumble+warning about IK Multimedia & Amplitube 5 Max

[Orvillain]

You're British, right? Apparently you guys also have the Gooducken, which replaces the turkey with a goose.

I think that is when you marry one of the birds after the roast.

 

[dronerstone]

This is incredible.

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

This is incredible.

Third bird roast is what you get in Wolverhampton after doing 6 lines of coke and 15 tequilas.

Why the absolute Zeus-arse is IK expecting AT5 Max v1 (stupid fucking name) owners to pay $99 for Mesa Boogie Collection 2, or to pay a $199 upgrade to AT5 Max v2 (stupid fucking name) ... when the major salient difference between them is ... you guessed it... Mesa Boogie Collection 2.

This is what you don't get if you have AT5 Max v1:

1. X-Drive
2. X-Vibe
3. X-Space
4. California Tweed
5. Mark IIC+
6. Mark V
7. Triple Crown
8. 1x12 California Tweed
9. 2x12 California Tweed
10. 2x12 Road King
11. 4x12 Road King Black
12. 4x12 Road King Vintage

Why the absolute piss-chips would I pay $199 for that, when I couldn't give a stuff about 70% of it??!! I literally only want the Mark IIC+ and Mark V. Everything else can get in the sea.

IK would rather sell you even more things you don't want to make you feel like you're getting value: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=14613

I guess you can also buy individual models in the custom shop, but then you get royally screwed up the arse when you next buy something as you end up with redundant licences. IK absolutely do not want to offer fair upgrade plans, they want to sell you more products so you get 200 products when you only actually want 3.

Here we go again.

Support asked me a few days ago to make a thread to get to the bottom of this input level stuff with other users.

Other users join in saying they are experiencing the same issues, and expressing some dissatisfaction with how things progress.

THREAD LOCKED.

IK Multimedia • Amplitube sounds undergained for a lot of models - why?

Can only presume the dissatisfaction users are displaying went against the forum rules. Its almost like they purposefully make it SO BAD that users get angry and get threads locked. Much easier than letting users communicate and get anywhere when support won't help

Meanwhile, Amplitube is crashing more than ever, support is still totally disinterested. What the hell is going on at IK?

You’d think having software that actually works with some kind of accurate documentation wouldn’t be a big ask?

That’s Our IKMTM ?

Good questions are bad for business.

Bad for business? Be carul or you'll get future endeavored.

I contemplated going done the IK road .
Thankfully a persuasive soul here set me on the right path

My current thoughts on that path equate to this as their sales model .

I can’t believe that thread was locked! Major WTF. I didn’t see anything written there that merited a lock.

Maybe support is working on this, so they locked it to keep from generating confusion while a fix is in the works.

Ah, who am I kidding. No way that’s what’s happening

@MirrorProfiles If their support keeps talking to you, just send them that table from UA’s documentation and say “This is what we’re looking for.”

 

[Orvillain]

Hang on.... they locked a thread after asking you to make it???

There isn't any world in the entire mathmatical set of theorhetical parallel universes where that is even remotely acceptable.

 

[Orvillain]

Could really do with some IK mouthpieces around here to straighten this out. It really isn't acceptable.
