IK Multimedia 15 year Group Buy hits 5000 participants!!!

YES! 3 for the price of one now! AND we still have WEEKS to go! Lets turn this into 4 for the price of 1!

For those that have most of IK's products.....

I wish we could substitute the 2 Free downloads and get 1 (for the same equal value)....then the incentive to get in would be more encouraging. (not that 3x1 is bad deal (infact, it's a great deal), but it's not for us that already have them).

same boat here have most all the software and nothing left to buy.....

We'll have 4x1 info up soon. And don't worry guys! We'll have some new stuff for you guys soon I promise! :D BUT will the sale still be in effect when the new stuff hits???? I think not, cause I would love 15% off ST3 but I know it aint gonna happen ...

Never mind....when I clicked on the download button in the promo user area I see I get to download two items.

I want to get in on this.......definitely am going to get Amplitube 3 crossgrade & Amplitube Fender......I already have T racks fairchild 670 and the eq and metering suite.....I hate to double up by getting T racks deluxe crossgrade (I don't have the Pultec eq and the other goodies)

So, I'm deciding for the initial purchase...T racks crossgrade or ARC system.......who has the ARC on these forums?
Thanks

You hear a lot of pros and cons regarding ARC on the forums, but it has been really great for me, BIG difference!!

Obi: Thanks, but I've already entered the group buy......I wasn't sure about ARC so I ended up getting TRacks Deluxe crossgrade (even though I already had the 670 and the shell with eq and metering)...I then got Amplitube 3 for the freebie  then Amplitube Fender for the 2nd freebie

In hindsight I should have gotten ARC, oh well

I did not see the Fender Tweeds at all in Amplitube 3. Amplitube 3 has blonde series and silver series Fender amps. The desirable ones are the 50's Tweeds and mid 60's Blackface amps which are only in the Fender package. I highly recommend getting the Fender pack.....I was a little unhappy that not one of those was in Amplitube 3, but I'll use Amplitube 3 for the Vox and Marshall models. The '59 Bassman is so close it's scary.....

@ JBow Hendrix has some gear models in AmpliTube 3, AmpliTube Fender is a separate add on. As for good options I'd go for AmpliTube Fender and Ampeg SVX. That should hold you down for a while! ;)

 
Thanks Obi. I am also looking at the philharmonic. I have Garritan GPO4 and really it probably has all the instruments I would need but I like the idea of choirs. My music runs from acoustic ballads and folk, to country/rock, Chicago/Texas style bues, 70s rock (think FREE, the BAND, Townshend, and Neil Young), to pseudo classical. the keyboard is a weak link for me. I can play some but am by no means a good keyboard player. My training, when I was young, was in classical vocal chamber music so I stil have some ideas in that vein.
Do things like the philharmonic have to be played in Sampletank or can Dropzone or something else be used? Also, if I bought the philharmonic would Sampletank free work as a player?
 
I may just take your advice and go with the Fender and SVT. I have heard some great guitar tones come from an SVT... not to mention good bass.
 
I will probably end up with an ARC system too, I have been eyeing it for sometime. I hope you will let us know if you have a blowout or anything.
 
Thanks for the help.

@JBow

I rarely use Amp2, metal, or Hendrix, but Fender and the Ampeg packages are my go-tos.

I have the SampleTank (ST) Free player and have all the sound libraries from Philharmonik & SonikSynth2 playing through ST (they all use the same engine as ST). If you like the choirs, you won't be dissappointed in Philharmonik.....it's got enough good sounds to cover quite a few genre's.

@ Glyn, registration just enters your serial number and some info , then you see your prduct will appear on your download page. Note the extras you get on the 3x1 will only appear in your download area for 30 days. you can, however, download it but dont need to install. so register it right away download it if possible before 30 days install at your leisure

@Jbow SampleTank FREE can open Philharmonik inside of it but Philharmonik uses the same engine. There is an update planned and being worked on but we don't have an ETA yet.

Nice! You'll love Those 3 together!
