Still trying to decide whether I should go for Zynaptiq ZAP III Bundle or not. I feel like buying the smaller bundles separately adds up to a similar price if you can time the discounts.

Regarding the new IK Multimedia Mix Your Own Bundles, I'm finding out if you can choose things like FAME, Sunset Sound, and The Farm Stone Room. The 5 plugin bundle is pretty amazing if those are included.

Don't take this as gospel, but another reseller's website states:

You will be able to select 5 Plugins from the list below:

• The Farm Stone Room Studio Reverb
  Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip
  FAME Studio Reverb
  TASCAM 388
  TASCAM Porta ONE
  TEAC A-3340S
  TEAC A-6100 MKII
  Comprexxor
  Space Delay
  Sunset Sound Studio Reverb
  Tape Machine 24
  Tape Machine 80
  Tape Machine 99
  Tape Machine 440
  T-RackS Leslie
  Classic T-RackS Equalizer
  Classic T-RackS Compressor
  Classic T-RackS Clipper
  Classic T-RackS Multi-band Limiter
  EQual
  ONE
  Dyna-Mu
  Master Match
  Full Metering
  British Channel
  Black 76 Limiting Amplifier
  White 2A Levelling Amplifier
  Vintage Tube Compressor/Limiter Model 670
  Quad Comp
  Quad Lim
  Quad Image
  Vintage Tube Program Equalize
  Opto Compressor
  De-Esser
  Brickwall Limiter
  Linear Phase Equalizer
  Mic Room
  White Channel
  Saturator X
  Stealth Limiter
  EQ PA
  EQ PB
  EQ PG
  EQ 73
  EQ 81
  Master EQ 432
  Bus Compressor
  Precision Comp/Limiter
  Tape Echo
  CSR Hall Reverb
  CSR Plate Reverb
  CSR Room Reverb
  CSR Inverse Reverb

Which seems to be pretty much everything!!!

All the ones I want are listed but how trustworthy is the other reseller's information? I'm not finding the bundle at other retailers after a quick search of the ones I know about.

I suppose we'll have to buy direct from IK if we want to use JamPoints. I could just go for the deal and if they don't allow the ones I want I could back out but something tells me getting a refund from IK would not be a pleasant or quick process.

I asked on the forum a while ago but no answer yet.

Here's the answer I got from Peter on the IK forum:

"There are no plugins listed for each bundle it is just a bundle of x number of plugins from T-RackS of your own choosing. So you can pick any of the 53 T-RackS processors that are available to make your own custom bundle.

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/mix-your-own-bundle/ should have more information

Edit - as an example you can see under the 30 plugin bundle it says "Create your bundle with 30 T-RackS plug-ins of your choice at $/€4.99 each."

As I said in the post two up from the one you quoted:

EDIT: I sent a support request asking what T-Racks plugins are available in the bundles but it says I'll receive a response "in a few days" and knowing IK that's being pretty optimistic.

Here's the answer I got from Peter on the IK forum:
.....you can pick any of the 53 T-RackS processors that are available

Or in other words there are no restrictions.

Anyway I'm going to go for the 5 plugin bundle now. If all of them are on the table then that will complete my T-Racks collection.

I'll let the forum know how it goes.......

Ok after a bit of a glitch on my part all has gone well. To the best of my knowledge all of the plugins are available for selection even the Sunset, FAME, and Stone House reverbs, tape machines etc......

What tripped me up was I forgot I already own the White Channel and it wasn't letting me select it for that reason. Mea Culpa.....

[Olnium]

TDR SlickEQ Mastering Edition is on sale at audiodeluxe for $9.99, down from $50.

Got a five bundle on Audio Deluxe with Model D for free. Got $2.49 Deluxe Bucks into the bargain. All the T-Racks Plugins are available which means I now have everything except two of the Teac/Tascam ones which I'll pick up on the next group buy using some free reg. code. All good. That Fame Studio is magic. The Vocal Strip is good too.

IK might have edited the site to clarify about the bundles

Whether it’s new titles like The Farm Stone Room for drums and Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip for vocals or classics like Stealth Limiter and Master Match on the master bus, T-RackS offers everything you need to mix and master broadcast-ready music and audio productions.

Model D is an odd name for a Piano as I thought they meant a Moog Model D.

Were you able to use your IK JamPoints there? They bring the price of the 5 pack down to $34.99

D type Pianos have been around long before Robert Moog was even born.

That may well be but what do you suppose 90% of KVR members think when they hear Model D?

When someone says Model D how many think of the pianos and not the Moog?

That's what I thought and why I purchased from there......
