anyone knows when was the last bargain on ik stealth limiter? it's the best one I've heard and definitely worth full price, but a sale wouldn't hurt

Did the Group Buy already end? Are people able to sell their Group Buy products individually?

a. The TRacks one, yes. But now they have this 3 for 1 bogos or whatever it's called.
b. No, unless it's the one they bought in with.

Hi Eric. Do you think izotope will have another everything bundle deal for $199 in the near future? I regret selling my stratus and symphony reverbs from my post production suite bundle after finding out izotope was going to be updating then to Apple Silicon.

Evidently they’re not updating nimbus or R4.

So yesterday I realized I hadn't registered my iLoud MTM monitors

Is that a jam point thing? Does buying IK hardware give a decent amount of points?

Hey! I got 80 jam points for the monitors...Very happy for this!

BUT this month of august they're having this thing https://www.ikmultimedia.com/4forall/

So it was like I had bought the monitors this very month and qualified to get 6 different titles of my own liking each priced under 399 euro, same price as the monitors, .......

....that I bought 2020 if I remember correctly

I have seen people selling them as a pair for under $100.
If you can't find a good deal, ask me as I haven't registered mine yet.

They haven’t told me anything but my guess is they will only do it again if they’re able to fix whatever went wrong last time. They ended abruptly last time (was supposed to last all month, ended in less than one week) because they couldn’t figure it out.

IDK about the last but it was $25 in April 2021... I bought it for $17 with jam points. (I still haven't bothered installing it, mainly because I'd have to install multiple gb of other T-racks crap. Which can be deleted, but it's still a hassle.)

that's a crazy deal, maybe I'm lucky and there will be another one soon

The most recent sale was the T-RackS Group Buy, and right now IK has a buy-one-get-3-free offer going - both would mean you're paying full price for Stealth Limiter but getting some number of other products free. Even the current deal is pretty good if there are other T-RackS modules or Amplitube packs you'd be interested in - you could get Stealth Limiter for as little as $88 using Jampoints (assuming you have some), and also get, say, the Master EQ 432, Dyna-Mu, and Master Match for free, or something like that. Or spend a couple more bucks and get Comprexxor ($130, or $91 with enough Jampoints) and get Stealth Limiter as one of your three freebies.

Definitely not the best IK deal ever, but you never know what they're going to discount next...

Comprexxor can be had for free if you take the ik multimedia survey

True, good point. You won't get 3 additional freebies with that of course, but yeah, probably not the best choice to actually pay for it.

Is there a standalone (non-internet) software that is better at lifting vocals out of songs than the music rebalance tool in RX9?

In my testing audio pulled from CD to Wav, it can offer anywhere from isolating very pleasant, clear vocals to the other side of the spectrum of making them sound as if they are passing through a low signal cellphone call. But mostly the latter.

According to several reviews and YouTube roundups, "DeepRemix" from RipX is the best thing on the market for this at the moment, and it's on sale for $75 (25% off) right now. I just picked it up, and it did a pretty impressive job pulling a vocal out of a swing-style track I tried. It splits tracks up into as many as 5 or 6 layers (vocal, guitar, drums, bass, etc), and you get an interface a bit like Melodyne or Autotune where you can see the notes from each layer and move them to different layers if the AI got something wrong. I only had to clean up a few places where it thought a trumpet note was the singer. The resulting stems were a pretty mixed bag as you might expect, but the vocal was actually quite good, especially in sparser sections of the song; it even correctly kept harmony vocals and reverb. You can also muck with stems in a Melodyne-ish way, changing notes or timing and stuff, and it can save the notes from each track as MIDI too, which can be fun.

You can get 10 KVR Marketplace Points for signing up for the mailing list, and you can use 7 of those points to bring the price down to $68.

Yes, it does a decent job. Much better than RX9 on vocals. And is available on thomann for 55 USD.
