Damn I love these lingo links. So the Spanish version has a positive inclination, contrary to the Italian. Still, no Ferrari made in Spain. Just look at that new Portofino. Only in Modena. Home of sweet aceto balsamico, Ferrari and ... our beloved IK Multimedia.

Is there a way to preorder through the custom shop with gear credits?

Not at this time, no.  I've relayed the request to do so but I don't believe it is planned.  I'll keep you updated if things change, though.

Gear Credits seem to be getting more worthless with each new IK release. First we were told that we couldn't use them on things like MODO and LMC since those aren't part of the T-RackS / Amplitube / Sampletank product lines. Now we hear that we can't use them on new T-RackS stuff either. 
 
Purchases of Gear Credits should come with a caveat that they may or may not be used for anything you might actually want to buy.
 
Cheers,

 This is a bummer.  I was thinking of buying credits on a monthly basis or instead of getting those on sale Wave plugins put that towards gear credits.  Sadly it seems when IK releases something new it seems to create such a stir.  After the really poor handling of Ampeg 2 you wonder if they will not allow the Tracks group buy freebies to be updated to 5.  I'm a fan of IK but there are times.................I'll just leave things be and purchase less.

As Tracks is a straight up Custom Shop product like SVX2 it would seem sensical to make the purchase available through the Custom Shop.

New features look cool.

So based on the upgrade description, am I correct in assuming that there are no improvements in CPU loads?

That's kind of where I'm at ......I have 55 GC's and a code to get SVX2, but I can only use one or the other.

Mesh, use your Gear Credits and get the SVX2. You spend nothing out of pocket and that just about zero's you out. You would have to buy more Gear Credits to get just about anything else. It will never get more perfect.
I thought WOP was an Ellis Island immigration thing meaning With Out Papers.
Spanish does have a masculine equivalent, guapo.

This is the problem I'm having BD......in the Custom Shop the price for me (signed in) is $99.99. If I select "Use Credits", it says I need 100 GC's to purchase and can't go any further.
 
 
If I choose the "Buy" option, then I can use the promo code to get it at 50% off, but there's no option to enter the GC's.  
I can only use one or the other and have to pay the $49.99 out of pocket (while my 55 GC's just sit there). 
 
It would've made a lot of sense to have an option to use GC's when you get to the Order Summary and it says: "Choose your payment method below to confirm your order"......but, that's not the route IK has taken.

 I thought they fixed that. Did you PM Peter?

There will be a T-RackS 5 CS – Custom Shop version available free of charge. I'm pretty sure our old plugins will run smoothly in there. Maybe some toys will be included. It's pretty much like AmpliTube 4, which also has a free CS version, allowing all AmpliTube 3 effects and amps to enjoy the upgraded engine. Whaddaya thunk, Pietro ?

Here's the full text fwrend referred to:

"Multiple versions to suit all needs

T-RackS 5 comes in different packages so you can choose the best option for your needs.

Previous users, owning some or all modules, can go straight to T-RackS 5 and take advantages of all the new features. This version is also ideal for beginners or users getting into mastering for the first time since it includes the 4 new modules along with 5 additional classic T-RackS modules (for a total of 9 processors) to jump-start things right away and let you mix and master taking advantage of the finest analog modeling technology and classic sound that we are known for.

For more demanding users T-RackS 5 Deluxe offers 22 smartly selected modules that cover you for most mixing and mastering duties with a wide selection must-have vintage and modern EQs, Dynamics processors and more.

In each of this version you are always free to add more modules as time goes by, thanks to the exclusive T-RackS Custom Shop, that allows you to try any of the available processors for 14 days, and buy them a-la-carte using $/€ or Custom Shop credits for greater savings.

If you want the full processing power of the entire suite at once, T-RackS 5 MAX is the full-blown collection of all 38 available T-RackS processors covering everything from vintage compressors and EQ’s to reverbs, stereo processors, saturators, precision digital tools and more."

Third paragraph puts it clearly: you only need the basic package at $99 to upgrade all you have and get the new engine as well as the four new plugins that come with it.

Just pointing out that the paragraph has been changed in the meantime.
It now says:
"Previous users, owning some or all modules with a total of $/€ 99.99 or more can purchase T-RackS 5 at the upgrade price and take advantage of all the new features."

The plot thickens ...

The best and most meaningful question in this thread.
