So apparently you need to buy at least the basic version of T-Racks to enable this basic functionality.
Like WTF?
IK normally sells these plugins for 125 USD/ EUROs each. I own two of them, bought from a fellow member on here, and am just astounded to receive this response with regards to resizing....
Has nobody else lodged a complaint/ asked for an update on this yet? Should I expect one to come or....?

As far as I can remember, if you own V4 licenses you got a free upgrade to the V5 plugin but with some reduced functionality, resizing being one of them. It got confusing, if I'm honest.axb312 wrote:So apparently you need to buy at least the basic version of T-Racks to enable this basic functionality.
What version of the plugins did you buy?
A bit fried in the higher freqs

I have V 5.1.0 of the plugins...Is there a way to downgrade? Any downsides to doing this?cprompt wrote:As far as I can remember, if you own V4 licenses you got a free upgrade to the V5 plugin but with some reduced functionality, resizing being one of them.

Does this seem ethical though? To allow such basic functionality like resizing only to those who pay more or buy into the T-Racks Suite?

Pay extra to be able to resize a plugin... Only the crooks at IKM can come up with this. Just like paying extra to re-download your purchased plugins.
IKM has been on my blacklist for a long time because of these stunts.

We don't charge anything to re-download your plugins. Sound libraries are available for download for 180 days after you register them (instead of a certain amount of downloads, etc, that is also a method some developers use for sound library downloads) and you're encouraged to make sure you back them up during the process so this should not be a surprise after 180 days. If there is a catastrophic issue with backed up data or similar, the IK Support team is willing to assist.
There is also a lot more than "paying to be able to resize a plugin" since T-RackS 5 does come with four well-regarded and high-quality processors, enhanced metering, and more.
On the resizing availability for those that purchase T-RackS 5, I have made sure that there's awareness here of this concern and that the request to change things with regard to this concern are taken into consideration.

This should be a a no-brainer, Peter. You're crippling plugins that customers bought in good faith, disabling a basic functionality that they've already paid for. It's unethical.

What functionality? Resizing was never part of T-RackS 4 (or 3 or earlier).GreyLion wrote:This should be a a no-brainer, Peter. You're crippling plugins that customers bought in good faith, disabling a basic functionality that they've already paid for. It's unethical.

And many other developers do not offer resizing at all.RobinWood wrote:Meldaproduction does this too.Reefius wrote:Pay extra to be able to resize a plugin... Only the crooks at IKM can come up with this.

You have free lifetime updates when you purchase a license. The only time they ask you to pay is to upgrade
their free plugins. It's not the same thing at all!

The mimimi meter just broke....
"Preamps have literally one job: when you turn up the gain, it gets louder." Jamcat, talking about presmp-emulation plugins.

Guys ,
Have a 27" inch monitor and it's a bit hard to read the IKM plugs - thats why I started this thread.
T-Racks 5 basic/ free does not allow resizing.
I can not downgrade to T Racks 4 apparently.
Advanced metering options should be available in something like Stealth limiter (this plugin does after all sell for 125 EUR/ USD).
Also, IKM's replies like "we don't charge anything to re-download your plugins" - like thats doing us a big favor....this justs irks me....
