Not sure what I'd grab as a freebie though. I could get Sampletank XL - but I have a very good sampler in Logic, and though ST is nice, I find navigating through the patches in the tiny screen a bit unpleasant. 

ST3 is "right around the corner"... i.e., Real Soon Now. I'm sure the UI will be overhauled, since the Tiny Text Syndrome has been complained about for years. Also, major update to content to compete with the mega-sample products out there in the market these days... kontakt lib, halion 4, independence, etc. etc. If you could get ST for free my guess is you'd get a nice u[grade path to ST3, if that interests you...

My own shopping experience w/ them as been rather pleasant, but I guess that your location plays a big part into that, as Fog's experience seems to indicate. 

you buy in USD $ , and I'm sure that supported ? so you know exactly how much are things are.. If a company is going to sell in the UK then quote £.. NI do the something with euro's, it's normally less in euros but still .


IK are "ok" as a company so far for me, they got back in touch with me support wise etc. 


the negatives 
that they want money to transfer a license + they want money for you to download soundbanks after 30 days and their time limited.

compared to others that's really quite minor on the scale of things.
the problem is , apart from the 2 amps for singles.. thats all I want from them now , I think there are others in the same boat, so offers in reality mean nothing.

it would have been good if they offered both the black/white things as a bundle for those who had the majority of their other products.. e.g. $20 / £10 off or something. I bet loads have more than 1 product due to group buys etc.

it started on the 8th .. why did I get the email today on the 11th ..
not impressed.. if your gonna offer customers that  offer.. don't cut off 2-3 days!!

I'd like the cart to be far better.. as you never know about tax etc.. right till the end.. I pay in UK £... NOT euro's.. that makes it an annoyance also.. as you never know till the end how much it ACTUALLY is


same again with jam points.. why do I have to convert them to a voucher.. the shop should sort that out and max it out e.g. up to 50% ? IRC


also that 50% I can apply to the total WITH the tax ? or pre that ?

some companies I deal with, the buying process is FAR easier while others over complicate it (IK being 1 of them)

Starise - I don't see it on the web site, and they've been strangely quiet about this particular offer - no big announcement on FB either. On the other hand, AudioMidi announced 30% off on all IK products - which is basically the same as using the promo code when buying directly from IK.

Seems that not everyone on their mailing list received the e-mail at the same time or just yet - I know this happens w/ many other companies, hence the reason I posted it here for all you guys to be advised as soon as possible.

  Thanks for the heads up. Since I already participated in the buy one get one free not sure if that would exclude me........Hmmmm I could always get my wife to join up. Hope OBIs not reading this.

Okay guys to clarify. You CAN use double jam points for your purchases but buying a T-Racks Singles doesn't get you in the group buy.

What!? Please elaborate? What do you mean by double jam points? I have 80 jam points. Does this mean I now have 160 to use?

I'm also lost on this "use double jam points for your purchases"......
I bought the Black 76 last night & paid $50 out of my pocket (I had $94 in Jam points) and it used 49 points....so, I have no clue about this "double jam points" thingy as it didn't reflect on my purchase.
(I was hoping that I would've also got the 30% discount WITH my jam points.....but, that was just plain wishfull thinking).

Okay...I just reread the posts....got it...Damn, I'm sorry I missed the 30% discount last week

OBI: I want to get in on the group buy...I have alot of IK products already and would like to get Amplitube. I would get this at the crossgrade price - 15%...is that correct? Also I understand that Custom Shop is now part of Amplitube (hope I'm right on that)....does Amplitube have every amp in there (all the Fender models, etc.)? Or are some of the packs separate purchases?

Thanks

Amplitube 3.5+ is the Custom Shop app. What they've done is take all of the legacy gear models from AT2, metal, SVX, etc. as well as the newer models like Fender put those models under a single product suite. Some, but not all, of the legacy models were updated to use new model technology (e.g., the modelling technology used by the Fender product). When you install AT3.5 you can unlock your existing gear using a "Restore My Gear" option or something like that. So if you previously owned, say, AT2, SVX, and Metal, then all of those gear models will be unlocked when you do the restore thing. There was an issue w/ migrating any custom presets, IIRC, that I'm not sure was ever resolved.

In addition AT3.5+ includes new gear models not available in any previous products that you can unlock separately through individual gear purchases via the Custom Shop doohickey... e.g., Soldano, Orange, etc. not available before Custom Shop...

Make sense?
