Well, I have been critical of some of moves that IK has made. I admit I have a bit of prejudice against ithingy development because I do fear that it hurts PC/mac workstation development in the long run. I did find myself recommending that iapp to a friend at work that just got a guitar and wants something like it and is already an iapp head. He has the free version now but is going to get the interface and full version. An affordable way to get some cool amp sounds for those that have an iphone.
 
 I must also admit I'm also warming up to the custom shop. I was not aware of the huge amount of content that I already had bundled with Amplatube 3 and Amplatube Fender. I can why Obi  compared it to "steam" a while back.

 I don't own any T-rax plugs so for me, the free update allows me to demo them. The skin that the plugs are in appear to be the Amplatube interface and the extra real-estate is dedicated to some metering.

 I'm not really sure what I got for free here and what's just a demo, but I'm impressed with this update.

Oh wow, this video is awesome. I really liked the beat to. Your mixing skills are great. Long video, but well worth it. As for the offline issue, have you contacted our support yet? If so PM me a ticket number.

Thks Obi , just pure quik improvistaion with nice tools ;) (on headphones , so the best conditions but ok ;))
here's the thing :

You guyz should make a V2 on the metering with customistaion of size and modules placement and a offline stuff more convenient ...;) the quad series is wiked , the new brit channel also , the La2A is exellent ...

Thanks for the kind words guys. To be clear, you get the Classic EQ and the Metering suite. Its very useful, especial for phase/levels, at least to me. If you guys ever have any suggestions on improvements, feature requests for ideas for us post them on our forums. Our whole team, including the development team, checks in there.

This is one of the best mastering tool. I wonder why there is no taker of my T-Racks deluxe license that I am trying to sell on KVR. Is there a place in this forum where I can post the details? 

No, I don't think this forum has a for sale section, especially for software. KVR is still your best bet for selling used software.

In order to use the Custom Shop, you do need to be online. Same if you are trying out new gear before you buy. You can move your purchases to an offline computer just like you can with AmpliTube.

I sure wish that somebody at IK knew how to do this. I have been in touch with IK support several times (number 385619), and still can't move my upgrade from Deluxe to Grand to my offline DAW. There is no clear explaination of when to use the 'restore my gear' process for offline authorization, and no step by step description of how to install the upgrade on an offline computer, and no information on which files to move. Custom Shop is a real PITA for an offline user like me, would have been so much easier to have had the option for the upgrade installers to be placed in the 'User Area' downloaded from there, and then moved to the offline computer. And now, the authorization request that I generate on my offline computer will not open the IK site when I click on it on my online computer. My money for this upgrade was taken from my account yesterday, and I still can't use the gear, getting PO'd! EDIT: sorry I screwed this post up!

We also have a FAQ here about offline authorization covering it in detail: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/index.php?id=3077

Hey...I own all the modules from tracks 3 deluxe but I bought them all separately.  So...first do I qualify for the $99 upgrade to CS grand and if so can I pay for the upgrade with my CS store credits???

I'd contact our support to double check, especially about the eligible upgrade. They'll be able to see your account and give you the best option for upgrade. Plus, if we don't we will be able to work out a deal with you directly.

obi, I'm confused to even which version I own to upgrade.. you lot didn't make it exactly straight forward..

I bought the singles then did some upgrade thing to get the t-racks shell.. I also on CSR I got  in another deal of esoundz IRC..
