I sent IK a question about key switching orchestral sounds in Max. Was interested in the upgrade. Number of responses from IK? Zero. I think I'm done with IK.

I don't see a PM but I'd be happy to look into your ticket number if you send it to me.

Note that during these times the number of requests nearly doubles each week and the team are doing their best to answer all queries. Please let me know your ticket number and we'll go from there.

samplecraze have a 50% off sale on most of their tutorials..

I really like a lot of these tutorials. Sometimes you don't need another compressor.. you need to learn how to use the ones you've got! They're mostly viewed through the site (look in the 'my tutorials' part in your account).

Eric, this post has problems. The Toontrack link is for Sonarworks. On your site, the wrong product is shown for Modern Pop Grooves (it shows Pop Punk Midi).

Up to 70% off Toontrack Pop! EZX and Modern Pop Grooves MIDI, now $24 and $10, respectively:

corrected links

TOONTRACK Pop! EZX
https://www.jrrshop.com/toontrackpopezxdownload

TOONTRACK Modern Pop Grooves MIDI
https://www.jrrshop.com/toontrack-moder ... ooves-midi

The links are correct, but the Pop Grooves MIDI page is all sorts of wrong. The image is of the Pop Punk MIDI pack and the description is "An awe-inspiring collection of jazz oriented grooves".

It's odd how Toontrack products are no longer on sale at Plugin Boutique, noticed it last week and they still haven't reappeared. I worry when product lines start disappearing from retailers because I remember what happened with DV247 who used to be my go-to for guitars and hardware as they had a store in Southampton where I live, they suddenly didn't have any Gibson or Fender for sale IIRC then within about a month they'd gone belly up and now limp on as an online only concern.

It could be sales are US only. One vendor stopped carrying Waves for a bit because they didn't get their money from Waves. Plus selling hardware and software is apples and oranges comparison. As far as software archive it after download and copy all activation in the file.

Image Line Toxic Biohazard is $19.99 at Guitar Center:

looks like it's a physical product, not a download. My total is 27.9 after shipping and taxex

It sucks that you can't even go into a Guitar Center. Even the price with shipping and taxes is the lowest I've seen.

Not just items on sale with discounts, PB have stopped selling Toontrack products altogether. I'm sure we'll find out what's going on eventually.

Yeah, it's $4.99 shipping if your total is under $25, and this product is $5.03 under $25.

You could add cheap cord or adapter or something - I found this possibly handy right-angle 3.5mm stereo to 1/4" stereo cord (so you could plug studio headphones into your phone or something, maybe?) for $5.20, so I can effectively get it for $.17: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Hosa/MHE10 ... 3137721.gc

Is total studio max worth getting? How does it compare to komplete 12?

I feel like a few people will be upset with this question you can scroll back through the tread because a few pages cover it. A quick summary: yes it's a good deal, depending on what you have and need. Komplete has pros and cons but is more expensive.

I've confirmed there is no issue with PluginBoutique at this time as far as their site downloads and helpdesk are concerned. I figured out what was going on.

My download manager seemed to break their ticketing system page from appearing. As well as the Ascension download pages.

But their download links for the v1.0 of those three glitchmachie products were broken.

But what I learned is that there is a "My Updates" page within the "My Account" section. I had 35 updates available I hadn't noticed before. No wonder I thought they weren't ever updating their products. They actually are. You just have to go into your updates area and click on each one in order to get it. Beware though, that once you update to the newest version of a product the older version is no longer downloadable for you as it updates the main 'My Products' page with the latest download link only.

I was able to download everything just fine once I understood how this worked. Their site is actually well maintained.

Hope this helps someone.

Stay safe! Also, you might want to check the Kontakthub link in your signature, it doesn't seem to be working.

Many users here are selling softube and Soundtoys plugins. What I don’t get is that these plugs are top of the notch, maybe the best plugins around. How it comes that so many ppl selling em? What are they goin to buy next? Or do they go hardware? Just for curiosity am asking.
