I like it!!  I think its brilliant.   I have it all installed, and just checked it out.   WINNER!!  I feel like I can, "pick up bits and bits, of T-racks processors that I want."

The custom shop thing, it too cool!   I liked the Amplitube one, and now I like this T-Racks one..

Any T-Racks gear models you already own from previous versions will be unlocked in the new Custom Shop. It installs the newer versions of the plug ins, but do not uninstall the previous older versions. That is why you are seeing two versions. "Restore My Gear" is a feature that syncs your account to unlock any new models you may have purchased (on another computer or an already registered product) already and just need to be authorized.

Thanks Obi.

I installed it and it's looking good.

And you weren't kidding when you said a while back that there was going to be a lot more stuff to use Custom Shop credits on! 

Thanks for the kind words! We REALLY did try to put nothing but awesomeness into this last update. New gear models to the new T-Racks Custom Shop!

Can't use jam points for the upgrade from deluxe to grand, screw it.

IK Obi


No, but you can use Jam Points to purchase Gear Credits at up to 50% off. 

Yes, but you can't currently use Gear Credits to purchase the upgrade.

Hi Obi, a few questions if you don't mind.

1. Will the new versions pick up any user presets or do they have to be re-created?
2. If we're seeing 2 versions (old & new) do we have to delete the old ones?
3. IS it simply a matter of downloading CS and then "restore" my gear? Is this done via CS or via the IK site?

Thanks,

Jonesey

Got it installed-No problems. It looks, feels, and acts great. All my prior T-Racks plugs show up including CSR Reverb. All 64bit. I'm with Linear Phase-WINNER! All this and no money changed hands. I'd feel guilty complaining-So I Won't. Thanks Ik Multimedia

I gripe about some things but never about the value and quality of IK.

While I don't like their laid back attitude towards their PC based software and their frenzied
attitude towards iApps - I LIKE IK products, that's why I gripe about it so much...LOL

OK...I went to my account at IK and it shows the new CS in my download area.  I've got all of the TRacks modules except the white and black thingys which I've purchased both as a bundle (TR Classic) and individually (all the TR 3 stuff).  So all I need to do is just download the new CS thingy and all my stuff shows up in there now??  And then if I want to purchase any other TR module I can use my existing A3 Custom Shop credits??

After you download and install, you run the Custom Shop app (it's the same one for both Amplitube and T-Racks CS - there are tabs at the top for each). Under the Gear menu, there's a "Restore My Gear" option that basically "purchases" all the gear you already own.

And then if I want to purchase any other TR module I can use my existing A3 Custom Shop credits?? 

Yes, as it's the same Custom Shop app!

So after I do the Restore My Gear and the open the TRacks CS freeby, it says I need to authorize it and takes me to the Authorization Manager where it asks for a serial number. What serial number do you enter here?

Interesting Leapinlizard. I wonder if IK know that? I just pulled my quote direct from the IK bloke on KVR.

Hey, now I can load up a whole VST enabled 64 bit eCommerce app. when I want to use say a single EQ.
 
How cool is that?
 
(for IKM).
 
What's more this shiny new eCommerce app is available for free!!!
 
Where can I get me some of that???
 
Is there a line I can join?
 
I fancy a yard or two of that BS.

We'll see if Obi drops by and what he has to say about the situation.  I should have written down the file name and location ... it's one of the ones that goes into a "Windows\...." folder.  Hopefully if somebody else runs across it they will chime in.

del- not feeding trolls

 
 
Hey don't be like that.
 
Mine is just a single POV, or do I have to be insincerely applauding IK Multimedia in order not to be a troll in your book?
 
It's just that they've become more akin to something I have to keep scraping off my shoe rather than loading on my DAW doesn't mean anyone has to agree.
 
It's just one personal opinion nothing more.
 
Who knows somebody might actually agree but has been afraid to speak up for fear of being villified for having as positive view as some others.
 
It's an eCommerce app. it's even called a 'shop' along with it's stable mates.  Some people might like a direct line to their credit card from their DAW it's a free choice to make.  It just not one I like the idea of when I want simply to choose a VST I've paid for to use in a project.

I get what you are saying completely about the processing potential.
 
However I have no argument to weaken in regard to these products.  I simply don't want them, I don't like the aggresive marketing approach, I don't like the prevarication there has been about new releases I make no secret about the fact that the likelihood of an IK product making an appearance on my DAW is zero.
 
I have nothing constructive to add I suppose other than there are alternatives that aren't so perniciously sticky.
Axe to grind might be something that is seen in proportion to the amount of times these things appear on user forums aside from mere user interest.
 
I big up more vendors than I choose to lambast.  Actually there is only one I can think of that warrants that.   
 
I'm clearly not a fan am I?...
 

The British channel strip is amazing! I upgraded my deluxe but haven't tried the quad stuff yet. I like it a lot!
