IK Multimedia Group Buy 2025

[IK Multimedia]

I wasn't exactly serious. Still, what a pity to have these 13 slots left.

I figured but in case someone thought you were, and I admit it would be kinda cool if you could but I get it especially with ReSing being brand new. On that front I'm going to check if the pre-order pricing HAS to change as soon as we release but I'm not sure that is a possibility.

Thanks @IK Multimedia it seems to be working ok now, although i still see those odd toast messages...

Question if I may - I have T-Racks 5 CS already, and and I'd like to upgrade it as high as I can. I the redeemable list I see

T-Racks 6
T-Racks 6 Pro
T-Racks 6 Pro Upgrade

What's the difference between 6 Pro and 6 Pro Upgrade? Is there any way to get to Max?

Thanks!

I just did Pro and then grabbed all the missing ones (I assume Pro Upgrade is just related to pricing).
The easiest way to see the missing modules is register/install TRacks6 Pro and then launch the TRacks6 plugin. From there it'll have lock icons against all the ones you dont own, easy enough to go and claim them all in the promo page. Just need to hit refresh in the IK manager and the locks will clear in a few seconds.

That is all indeed correct, thanks for catching this before I did Natan, much obliged.

You can still redeem what you already bought in the past, and then try to sell those previous licenses cheaper in second-hand market, maybe you get the money for ReSing in that way

Given that there's groupbuys and other sales all the time, I doubt I'd get much out of it, if anything at all.
Also, I actually think I've got my money's worth out of this deal, so I'm fine.

Website down again.

Website down again.

I also experienced website issues this morning. I purchased the 78/79 brown sound pack to enter the group buy promotion, but running into a lot of website issues to activate the codes.

 

[Sascha Franck]

I think the website is hammered right now (or possibly the file server behind it as well - no idea about how much they're connected). I mean, there's around 45k of participants by now, if all of them decided to download, say, all the piano libraries (around 360GB in total) that'd require quite a performant backbone on IK's end.
So I'd just give it some rest - I mean, once you've claimed the goodies (which you still have over a month of time for from now), you can download them anytime in the future.

And fwiw, credit where credit is due: Apparently there's been a kinda "glitch" in the GB claiming system, allowing people to use Amplitube 5, which is on sale at Plugin Boutique for cheap, to parcitipate - even if the IK website explicitely states it's not valid for qualification. Now, IK had removed that glitch, but because people were complaining, they still allowed them to take part in the groupbuy, even if, regardless of the glitch someone found out about (likely at Bedroom Producers Blog), it's never been planned. I find this to be quite nice.
Note: This is now over, only the folks who already went this way are qualified.

The cheapest entry to the groupbuy right now would possibly be to get Sampletank 4 in a sale.

After making some mistakes with ToneX myself, I believe you want to select "T-Racks 6 Pro" as the only item you get in the promotion. Otherwise, you would need to get the standard version and the upgrade add-on to be equivalent to pro. Having an upgrade license may limit your next upgrade path in the future.

IK has excluded "Max" editions from the promotion items. The upgrade license items in the list will not get you there.

Agree in spades
Guys lets give then some time to sort out and don't go running download like crazy as licences will not vanish.
Maybe we could just start playing instead of staring at connection lost msgs? This is way more than a lifetime of content.
Also beats me complains of drive space... I mean this is a great offer as it stands maybe some think IK should offer 1TB external drives as well no?
Thks IK I should say.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Well, honestly, while I'm not complaining, I think some sample based items could certainly be optimized.
Take a look at, say, Spectrasonic's Omnisphere 3. The entire library needs 64GB of disk space - and there's some incredibly detailed samples in it, along with >40k patches. Sure, naturally sounding pianos need more space, same goes for strings, horns and what not - but quite some synth sample patches could easily be optimized.
In addition, as said, I really wish I could split the piano libraries - but it's hardly possible as you can only assign one sample location in the plugin.
Sure, I got all that stuff for peanuts, but still. Possibly also explains why the samplebased products seem to be abandoned, most likely just waiting for their EOL.

I saw Mixbox is now discontinued. That is one item I have that is kind of neat. It seems like ToneX and T- Racks are the huge focus at the moment.

Yeah well, I actually think that they should possibly streamline their portfolio a bit. Maybe apart from 10+ years ago, their samplebased products have never been too much of a millionseller and TRacks has always been a bit of overwhelming by offering whatever how much dynamic processors. They possibly should've crammed groups of them in one single plugin with an option to switch (Logic is doing that with its compressor and it's quite great that way).
And maybe it'd as well be a good idea to not have multiple incarnations of the same product as well. Amplitube 5, Amplitube Max, Amplitube SE, Amplitube CS - that's a lot to take care of. Make it one version with in-app-purchases, done.

Well this couldnt go without some bad news: i´ve registered like 6 licenses and now suddenly my promo list that previously had >40 tiers now shows only 1 (tier 1) available.

What? has this happened to anyone?

I think they changed the promo page so that as you select an item, it enables the next tier.

This is correct, the visual change greatly helps with the server load we were seeing that caused issues earlier and this weekend.

Thks..
Well now I don´t know at a glance how many I still have avail. What a scare anyways!
