T-Racks 64 bit

I had the trial version of T RackS 3.  I read where that was still a 32 bit app.  ??

64 bit info on IK's TRacks forum:
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2598

It maybe that you installed the 64bit plugs in a folder that your VST manager does not have that folder location input into the VST scanner.

Maybe I'm a little out of subject, but do T- racks brings something more in comparison to the Pro-channel modules ? Or, (no offense), is it just a psychological satisfaction to have redundant extra stuff ?

Plus I had T-Racks long before ProChannel was a gleem in her daddy's eye. 

I wouldn't just say buy something because it's a bargain, pete, but the price makes it a no brainer if you don't have any other 3rd party covering the same stuff. All the plugs can be used as singles as well as creating a mastering chain. I think you can get by with most DAWs now but it's a good opportunity to add a few tools without too much pressure on the wallet.

All the info about them and what they do is there, so have a read and if you don't think you need it then walk on by. They do what it says on the tin. It's not a UAD tin, or a Waves tin or FabFilter tin but it's a tin nevertheless.

Thanks for the replies guys...

All those things were considered...

When asked by the installer it said it put them in the Cakewalk VST directory...
I'm not at home now so will have to check to see if they are there...
I installed just the 64 bit and got nothing...
So installed both 64 bit and 32 bit...
Now the 32 bit show up but still no 64 bit...

At $99 I agree with Jind....it's a no brainer...

That's $500 worth of awesome plugs for $99 bucks..
Granted a low price is not a reason to buy something...

BUT the T-Racks plugs are incredible..and I've only 
briefly played with the 32 bit versions...and the difference is 
quite clear...especially the Pultec EQ....very warm and cozy..LOL

I have ALL the PC modules...when they are practically giving them 
away...as was IK on this deal...then WHY NOT HAVE THEM?

Hi cclarry,
yes you're right, the vintage compressors and the pultec sounds great, and not only for that price!
After i've read your last post, i can remember that there is a problem in the installation process. I'm not quite sure, but as far as i remember if you choose 64 Bit, you get 32 Bit Plugin.
If you choose both 32 Bit and so on. A little bit annoying.
Try to install only 32 Bit, perhaps you get 64 Bit
 
The best way is, to contact IKMultimedia Forum (at the moment the server seems to be down)

Where did you find it for $99??? I have it, but I paid $299 (and didn't get the black and white). I'd love to pick another copy of it up for a second DAW that I have. The metering is quite wonderful.

Unfortunately you just missed out on a group buy for T-Racks 3 Deluxe that included incentives for 1000 and 2000 purchases - at those levels they tossed in White 2A and Black 76.  It just ended on the 31st of last month I'm affraid. 

But as has already been said, you can authorize it up to 5 times so no reason not to use what you have on multiple PCs.

ah.. I see that I just missed the sale. Oh well....

Will do. Thanks.

I know with IK Amplitube 3 you have to install with administrator privileges. Might be worth giving that a try its what I had to do to get Amplitube 3 to work in 64 bit for me :)

Yes - I'm pretty sure all the boxed versions still only contain the original installers which were 32 bit.  Once registered, I've always gone out to my downloads and installed the latest versions which contain the x64 installs as that was only added sometime last year if I recall.  I just do further installs from the downloaded versions so I always know I have the latest on each system.

Group buys are simple - they set a a level, or several levels, that when meet the price of a product goes down.  As the various targets are meet, those in the group buy keep getting better prices and in some cases incentives are added as IK Multimedia did with this one for T-Racks 3 Deluxe with the addition of either Black 76 or White 2A for free at 1000 entrants, and both if it got to 2000 (which it did).

Group Buys really tend to be some of the best ways to get a product at great prices and with included extras.  You can find out about all the various group buys by following the Market Place forum over at KVR.  IK Multimedia is one of the regular group buy companies - I can't imagine buying anything from IK at retail, but that's just me as it's likely to get included in a group buy or at a bare minimum offered at a sale price sometime during the year (especially if they may be releasing a new version).

@bandso,

Did you read the link provided by Skyline?
To quote IK support:
Q) TR standalone runs in 64 bit since 3.5.1?
A)  No, it has no reason to as standalone.

HTH
