Ah yes, now I see. For some reason I was not connecting a serial number to a freeby - silly me :-( Thanks, gs

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.

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

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.

Known list of dodginess that IK installers put on your system.
 
Windows\msocreg32.dat
Windows\System32\msvcsv60.dll
Windows\System32\w3data.vss
ProgramData\autobk.inc
AppData\Roaming\msregsvv.dll
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\isindex.dat
 
HTH
 
You might need that list to manually uninstall them after you've removed all your IK products via the uninstaller as they get left behind.
 
So it might be worth keeping that list somewhere safe.

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.

Interestingly, there is something in this arrangement that touches on a discussion we were having recently - when you run several processors with upsampling turned on, it upsamples once at the beginning of the chain and downsamples once at the end.

I also think there may be some creative use for combining multiple different reverbs (in parallel and/or series), along with EQ.

IOW, there may be some actual value to users. So if we wish to be cynical, we should at least consider potential positives.

Otherwise it tends to weaken one's arguments. And makes them look like someone with an axe to grind more than someone having anything constructive to add. 

Note that that isn't to say that criticism (or cynicism) is unwelcome (or necessarily completely unwarranted).

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?...
 

Another question here.

Since the black and white have been updated for the Free Custom Shop install why is there not an update for the black and white listed in My Products (since I already own them) unless I install the Custom Shop?

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