Receptor and IK T-Racks Plug-In

[micaofboca]

Forgive me, but I don't really understand Receptor's free plug-in policy or how the crossgrade pricing works. I'm interested in obtaining the DELUXE version of IK's T-Racks 3 Plug-In software. I noticed Receptor (w/Komplete inside) includes a version of the IK software, but it isn't the Deluxe model of the O.S. 3 version. I don't think it comes already installed, it looks like you have to download the free version. Is the upgrade that they offer at a reduced price ($299) the T-Racks 3 DELUXE edition or is it either the Standard Version (a lite version of 3), or is it an older, less complete edition? Are the non-installed plug-ins all lite versions? Are they limited in the time you can use them? If they're the same as the registered versions why would anyone pay the money to get a registered copy, other than a quicker download or something? I bought AmpliTube from IK and registering it was like defeating the Legend of Zelda. They make you locate and uncover hidden treasure passwords until you finally reach level seven which lets you authorize the damn thing. They probably have a moat around their headquarters for security. But can you explain the plug-in situation with Receptor Komplete and also if you know about T-Racks 3 DELUXE (a very nice package of front end mastering compressors, EQ's and mic preamps; real mastering tools you won't find in WaveLab or SoundForge).

cross-reference Plugorama when in doubt about receptor compatibility. i am guessing that t-racks 3 will eventually work on receptor but might not necessarily work today. you really should contact IK directly about this -- it's not like Muse really tests anything.
