And our intern, Max.

They've got the sale scheduled to start for us on June 13. They titled the sale the "Grand Finale" sale.

Any hints as to what they will have on sale? I mean besides their tables and chairs?

Half-used toilet rolls and opened tampon boxes.

Only T-RackS MAX

[Examigan]

Ok thanks.

Under 50$ for 53 plugins sounds like an insane deal. Too good to be true. I usually use free plugins or pick up generous deals. Is this a bundle I should get?

[Uncle E]

Worth it for the studio reverbs and tapes.

Curse you for encouraging our rampant GAS!
Serious question, how is the cpu hit? Compared with similar plugs in the Arturia FX Collection for example.

Is it going to be another one of those "you can't use jam points for this" sales they do? I already have almost all the T-racks stuff that remotely interests me, don't have the tapes (except Space Delay) but I've got other tape emulations I like. Have Sunset Sound, not sure Fame would add much, not really interested in Stone Room. With jam points I might be willing to consider Max for 50*2/3 = $33.33 though.

The tapes might have the highest CPU hit of all tape plugins.

Since people use plugins for so many different uses, genres, etc., I could never tell if this was on purpose or not- i.e., if they deliberately sacrificed CPU efficiency for processing quality, and the tapes were meant to be used on the master bus, not individual channels. Kinda in the same way that you technically could use Ozone on all your channels, but it seems like it's really meant to be used once per project on the master.

Mixbus, for example, is really CPU efficient, so I know there are some talented coders there. On the other hand, SampleTank is really clunky on my PC, so I have no idea. But when I read online about people using the tapes, it seems like most use just one instance of it- so maybe this is by design?

I can't imagine a company as large as IK going out of business but "Grand Finale sale" does have a rather ominous ring to it....

I own all but a handful of the TRacks plugins collected during the numerous "Buy 1 get X Number Free" deals, group buys, etc.

The only one missing I would really use is the British Channel but having the entire collection would be nice for the right price. Things like the Mic Room and Leslie probably wouldn't get used but it wouldn't hurt to have them in the collection. I did choose a few of the tape machines just to check them out but they are so brutal on the CPU as to be almost useless and quite frankly I'm not a tape fan.

I'm going to wait to see what the deal JRR Shop has coming. I don't know if Uncle E can give us a heads up on the price it will be beforehand but it would be nice to know so I can plan ahead.

Yes, June 13
