Still no license...

Did you buy from Guitar Center ? I did and i'm still waiting for the licence, a few hours now.

From Sweetwater...and it just now arrived!

[GreyLion]

Just did the deal at Guitar Center. I have no need at all for this thing, but, y'know -- FOMO.

EDIT: I just now got the license key, after about a half an hour.

EDIT2: Just now successfully authorized in IK Product Manager, so the SN is legit.

Huh. I didn't look that closely, and I've bought too much software over the years to remember -- But all I show in the IK Product Manager is that I own T-Racks 5 CS, which is their freebie. However, I got in on some of their mega-promo tiered things a couple of times and have 25 of the modules that way. They're folded in under the CS license. So maybe that counts?

I got an order in at GC this afternoon, but email hasn’t arrived yet. Hoping it goes through. I had been just looking the Fame and Sunset Sound and was considering the big Total Max offer (already have the B3 and Fender collection and like them).

Right now its 12:25 PDT and I just looked the IK sale at

https://www.producerspot.com/product/ik ... cks-6-max/

at noon; it was still $29. In the last 20 min somebody woke up and they switched to $99. I hesitated to jump in initially because I'm pretty covered in the general audio processing categories

Upgrade version still available at the Producer Spot.
Received serial number right after sending payment.
Registered at IK Multimedia with no issues, had only a couple of T-Racks 5 modules.

Jesus Christ, I'm weak as f**k!

FOMO hit really strong today, oh well...

Time to enjoy some new shiny plugins .

Thank you!

Hey, is the producerspot offer ‚upgrade your TR6 to TR6 Max? Or upgrade your TR to TR6 Max? I have TR5 Max.

I got mine from Sweetwater (for 29.99). The offer doesn't care what version of T-Racks you already have. As long as you own ANY IKM product, you qualify. $29.99 (plus applicable tax and fees for your area) gets you T-Racks 6 Max in your IKM account!

Multiple shops were carrying the offer, so it's obvious this is a flash sale authorized by IK Multimedia. I grabbed mine yesterday.

Apparently it's back to normal price at Sweetwater -- so if you still see it for 29.99 at another store, better grab it before it's gone.

Well, the name suggest something different

„ IK MULTIMEDIA – T-RACKS 6 UPGRADE TO MAX”

I read it as it is an upgrade from 6 to 6 max.

You need to check your account at IK to see if you can upgrade.

Or contact someone at IK.

Honestly I didn't even think about being able to upgrade. Luckly I qualified .

EDIT: Relevant info. alinok said "Registered at IK Multimedia with no issues, had only a couple of T-Racks 5 modules.". Maybe it will work, but I'm not responsible if it doesn't.

From Wikipedia:

The mimetic theory of desire, an explanation of human behavior and culture, originated with the French historian, literary critic, and philosopher of social science René Girard (1923–2015). The name of the theory derives from the philosophical concept mimesis, which carries a wide range of meanings. In mimetic theory, mimesis refers to human desire, which Girard thought was not linear but the product of a mimetic process in which people imitate models who endow objects with value. Girard called this phenomenon "mimetic desire", and described mimetic desire as the foundation of his theory:

"Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires."

That is quite interesting. Thanks. I'd never seen FOMO until today, and was about to look it up. It sooo feeds myriad dynamics like "keeping up with the 'insert-celebrity-of-the-week' who replaced the 'Joneses' of old" to alleviate a (manufactured) sense of missing out on something, if you don't know the latest gossip or trendy thing they are into. And the mimetic theory, correlates with the need of feeling included in various 'cult-think', especially when the "scapegoat" element sooo predominately employed by a certain grifting apprentice politician is thrown into the mix.

I was all proud of myself for not jumping on the flash sale and then I checked this thread and saw the upgrade was still available for $29.99 at Producer Spot and well I can confirm that if you are eligible for an upgrade, this still works as of Saturday morning. I did check my IK account to see if I was eligible before buying.

The GAS is real.

You left out the pertinent part:

IK Multimedia T-RackS 6 MAX Software Suite - Upgrade from Any T-Racks Product

You seem to be assuming that an upgrade has to be from the same product. That's NOT what's indicated here (IMO).

If you own ANY T-Racks product - and want T-Racks 6 MAX suite - you owe it to yourself to go for it.

Bottom line: If you take a pass, then find out you missed out on this once-in-a-blue-moon deal, you'll be kicking yourself for a long time.
