but Sampletank 3 still is a no-show

http://www.ikmultimedia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6542

Ah I'm sorry we have hurt your feelings with updating our other lines while we have been meticulously working on SampleTank 3 behind the scenes all year. (As I KNOW you know as I have told you many times on these very boards before...) Its coming. Like REALLLLLLLLLLLLY close. Not as close as T-Racks. Probably before ****** and definitely after we bring AAX in the T-Racks Custom Shop for our Pro Tools users. But still REALLLLLLLY close. Like, I just saw THE full instruments list yesterday close.
 
So, yeah. Thats a thing. In the works. On the way. Yup. But for now, new T-Racks gear which we have been working on for months now. It's going to be a great release with some cool new gear. Any guesses on what legendary gear we modeled this time?

An Edison wire recorder??

A Kemper Profiler Amplifier?
 
:-)

I want a Kemper! Hopefully it will be $39. Obi and cclarry are both pretty good guys from what I've seen...I actually bought my T-racks Deluxe from cclarry. He gave me a good deal and IK made a good product. You guys should make up after Sampletank 3 comes out.

I love my T-Racks and Amplitube....I love ALL my IK Products...
 
I just believe that a company SHOULD NOT FOCUS ON DOLLAR SIGNS...
but instead, MAKE DOLLARS from doing what they SHOULD have done a LONG time ago...

And even though IK is STILL not Windows 8 Compliant...which is WAY overdue...I still use them...
 
None of my stand alones work in Win 8...except Miroslav? How weird is that...
ALL the others...nothing...I think it's a duel between the IK Products and the Quad Capture driver...
they work fine in hosts...but not stand alone...
 
All my other stand alones work....Kontakt, Guitar Rig, etc....they ALL work...only the IK stuff won't.

Yet, they have time to release THOUSANDS of iCraps...and updates and NEW this and NEW that for stuff
that was just updated only a few months ago...while the SampleTank line (YES - 4 Products - SampleTank, SampleMoog,
SampleTron, and Miroslav) just sit there for 4 years...and all their other stuff still isn't Win 8 compliant....
even 64 bit T-Racks and Amplitube aren't Win 8 compliant yet...

Seriously, why not just make a 64 bit version of SampleTank?  That could have been done YEARS AND YEARS
AGO....oh..I know they were WAY TO BUSY doing iCrap stuff...to even think about it.....
 
I'm sure IK is thinking, well we don't have a lot of customers for those products...

WELL DUH...if you're not updating them on regular basis WHO WANTS THEM?  That's just COMMON SENSE!!!

I can only hope that people EVENTUALLY wake up...

Listen to Obi's quote "We've been working on for 4 months"....WHAT?  It's been 4 years for SampleTank...
That's a SLAP IN THE FACE!!!

These companies do whatever they want, regardless of what existing customers say or do...WHY?
because they are GREEDY...it's not about YOU, they've already got your dollars ...it's about THEIR dollar signs..it's not about MUSIC,
it's about MONEY....and yes, that is what businesses are about, BUT, a GOOD business will do so with
INTEGRITY...and do the RIGHT thing, regardless of the dollar signs...and will gain a REPUTATION 
while doing it for their CUSTOMERS and GAIN dollar signs...but, they'll also gain a REPUTATION for NOT doing it for their 
customers...if you catch my drift...

Sad part is, most don't care...they will just BUY....they don't care..they're junkies...buy, buy, buy...companies screw you...
that's ok...buy buy buy...etc...they can't stop...it's called OCD...gotta have it...can't do without it...

I'm done with these companies...as Godsmack says..."I STAND ALONE" and that's ok...right is right and wrong is wrong...
 
and EVERYTHING that IK is doing right NOW is WRONG....sorry guys...no one said the truth was pretty...they've been promising
SampleTank 3 for 3 years...and NOW they say..oh..it's close...NOT YET...but close...here's the carrot, come and get it...
and while you're reaching for that carrot that we keep pulling away, here's an apple....
 
NOPE...not doing it....

That's my 2 cents worth...and THAT is the rest of the story...Paul Harvey...

I understand where your coming from. You have every right to feel however you want to about any company. I certainly don't feel like I owe anyone anything. I've only been at this for a little over a year so I'm not really frustrated with any of them at this point. Cakewalk, IK, Toontrack, and Fab Filter are the core of my little studio. Despite my usual VST addict jokes, I do a lot of research before I buy things. I need to use them to justify a purchase.

He's been saying ST3s been coming for what, 2 years now? I'm sure they are on it.
 
I like my IK products as well. I hope they make better, more visible, GUIs. The trend seems to be a "who gives a crap if you can read it" though. We can hope I guess.

Even if the only improvements they made to ST3 would be an improved/visible/re-sizable GUI along with 64bit native I would be happy. Of course, it would have to be available this week and a free upgrade...
