Everyone is probably aware of it, but if not: this IK-Deal is insanely good!
Using JamPoints I bought these plugins for only 66,63€:

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
Sunset Sound Studio Reverb
T-RackS Leslie

Those who do not want to wait for the group buy but still want to complete the last missing T-RackS
should definitely buy now.

Is the group but something IK does or is it at JRR? Ive heard it mentioned before but don't really know what it is or if it's just IK stuff or who even puts it together.

From a budget perspective, the smartest thing would be to choose all the expensive plugins, then get the rest at the lowest tier of the next Group Buy (which should only be a couple of months away).

IKM run group buy promo every year. usually around july or august. sometimes later. the old link still works.

They are currently running this promo:
https://www.ikmultimedia.com/mix-your-own-bundle/

I wonder, can you take the $50 bundle and scoop up all of the Tascam Tape plugins in that? Or are they not considered "T-Racks"?

I've looked for small print on exactly which plugins qualify and can't find anything.

You can pick any of the 53 modules in T-Racks 5 MAX v2, no restrictions.

I guess the bundle is NFR?

Based on the audio demos, it seems like the new IK VRM IR reverbs are lacking in depth, and the tail doesn't sound quite right---or at least I don't like it.

I've been interested in their Space Delay though---I actually like that more.

Ends May 31st though so I should have time to demo them. Guess I'd also get the vocal strip... but I doubt the compressor modelling will be as good as TrackComp 2 or the best Acustica; and I already have most of the Waves signature vocal plugins (which were great when I was starting out, but I don't think I even have them installed anymore).

Assuming the bundle is NFR, if I only really want the Space Delay, I should probably wait for a (non-NFR) sale on that. Or wait for Acustica to do a fully-featured version of it (they do have it as an option in Lemon, but the controls are just the standard delay controls).

Space Delay is really good and fun to use. its one of my most used from TRacks.

After you buy one of the IK Multimedia Pick and Mix T-Racks bundles.... what do you do? I got a serial number which it said to register in Product Manager, which I did - now what? How do I choose which 5 I want?

IK Multimedia should be the kings of reverb because they know a lot about convoluted processes

Which ones will you pick, as I am also thinking of bundling up a handful of their Tapes?

I have the first bunch of tapes, but I don't have any of the newer tapes. I'm thinking:

- Tascam Portastudio
- Tascam 388
- TEAC 6100 MKII
- Joe C Vocal Strip (even though I barely use vocals much, it's got 3 parallels compressors among other cool stuff - I wanna try it on lead synth)
- Farm Stone Reverb

Cool, thanks!

Thinking of doing a Mix of some old and new ones, not too sure which ones yet but will test them anyway.

To answer my own question: You log into the IKM website and goto "Promotions" in your user dropdown.

Only found it by trawling randomly through every part of the User Area.

Yeh man! Easy to test since you will likely have them all installed anyway

To be fair it actually does make demo'ing IKM plugins super easy.

Let me know what you pick!

Good Info as IK doesnt really make it clear how to bundle your Bundle.

Very true, me then actually already has All of them Installed I guess.
