Just a Rant about IK Multimedia

[shadfan4]

No idea if too many here use amp sims from as above. But this is just a rant....

Having used Amplitube 5 for a while now, felt the need to get more "Collections" AM 5 Max seems to have all the bells and whistles I would need, but surprise, the upgrade price is the same as if you were a first time purchaser. and not an existing customer,

And you pay again for quite a few components already in AM5. So asked the questions on their forum and within hours the post was deleted, and an email sent to ask me to log on to get the reply, which was basicaly "its our business model" so tough. I then posted why the original post was removed and yep, that went just as quick, END of rant. up yours IK

Mike.  A p***ed off customer.

Too many brands and firms act like this. They don't deserve the business.

I also had a post deleted by them when I enquired if they ever looked at the ‘requested features’ post. It seems IK. Multimedia don’t like/allow any criticism of there products.

Hi Mike

I've used IK in the past and didn't particular like the way you have to install their rack to run their high end plugins, in my view they should be stand alone at those prices!

If you are looking for a top end amp sim, you may like to try Line 6 Helix Native demo!

It's quite expensive, but you get lot amps and FX that are included (i.e. no extra purchases) and every so often they add some very useful extra models and pedal simulations.

I would say it's more for the experienced user, but a real power house once you become familiar with it, having tried most of the other big names in amp sims this is only one I use now.
