Context should definitely be considered, though all opinions are obviously something people are entitled to and I appreciate constructive criticism. I do point out the vast number importing immediately and not really giving the sound library a good run-through before passing judgement for example. So is this true? I would like jampoints for supporting ST from the first version all the way thru, and a plethora of Amplitube stuff, and CSR.I understand and appreciate a tough crowd, but there is also a grain of salt factor there. The last time I tried to use my unused jampoints from every IKM software I owned, I added then to my cart, changed my mind. I also read something about users that bought ST2XL before 2009, get surprise jampoints? I think I saw 3 points. I take it the disc will be a straightforward install? I need things stupid simple, because I am not that bright. I understand those KVR guys are a tough crowd, but I trust the temperature over there. Learn how to make tight, radio-ready mixes with the STOCK plugins in your DAW.I have been browsing around and honestly I am scared shit to download and install this.

I'll try it out fairly often just hoping for the chance to JUSTIFY downloading it, but something else ALWAYS works better no matter what the genre or the application is. I'm probably gonna get rid of Syntronik and reclaim some precious space(40 GIGS!) because it doesn't ever make the cut.

But they haven't seemed very inspired lately other than to worry about making music solutions for amateurs on mobile phones and iPads. Back in the day, T-RackS, Miroslav Philharmonik, Sonik Synth 2, and AmpliTube were some of my most-used plugins(along with AAS Lounge Lizard and EastWest Bosendorfer 290).

In fact, IK Multimedia has become rather 'unnecessary' to me for the last decade or so. If I can't get this to properly work with Band-In-A-Box as 'Hi-Q instruments', then I don't need it as I've never been impressed with 'SampleStank' when compared to Kontakt as a sampler solution.
