Be prepared for installing 2+ gigs worth of other products along with this whether you own them or not. Fun stuff.

Yeah I really hate that it forces you to install a shitload of stuff you actually don't own. But what I do is just delete manually those plugins I don't need from the plugin folders (their names all start with TR5* if I remember correctly, so it's easy to find them).

Their stuff is really good and so with their insane Groupbuys that happen every few years it is almost impossible to not own almost all of them anyway (the last time it was buy one, get 26 - ie. why would you not, of course unless you've already been served in earlier Groupbuys), so it's not really a problem, is it?

Basically the reason why I didn't install this yet.

Just delete the stuff you don't need and be happy with a really good compressor (and saturator).
It's worth the hassle.

IK's stuff is good stuff, I like and use it quite a bit. Their distressor emu? eh.

Post

Anyone else have missing presets on this?

IKM hasn't a lot of presets, normally, for their 'processors', or do you mean totally missing?

Post

Yes, there aren’t any. I am on an M1 Mac running through Rosetta. Perhaps I have to re-download.

Post

Yep! I commented on the same issue earlier in the thread, but haven't found any solutions yet. I tried reinstalling, reauthorizing and restoring purchases within Custom Shop. Nothing seems to do the trick. For the record, I am on an Intel MacBook Air.

Just used this beast on very dynamic acoustic guitar, it tamed it quiet nicely without sounding to squashed. Thank you, IK!

For those who prefer the "audiobook version":



Comprexxor has additional controls, so a quick read in the T-Racks user manual will get you up to speed on basic controls. The above video/user manual go into depth with this VERY DEEP piece of hardware.

Thank you IKM! I already own almost everything, but i passed on Comprexxor hoping to snag it in a future sale. Lucky today! I'll put it to good use.
