I have reverbs, filters and modulators coming out my ears.I don't need to pay $99 for a few more from IK just because of the MixBox eye candy.Free Download IK Multimedia MixBox full version standalone offline installer for Windows. I mean, GuitarRig alone pretty much has all these effects. Most of us have all this FX ground well covered by so many other products from IK and from other places. But if you don't own all their stuff, let's say this is the first IK purchase you've ever made, $149 is still kind of a lot for what it is, not to mention the $199 retail price they will want for it. If you already own a lot of their stuff, it has a huge amount of overlap.

They make some great products, I own most of them! MixBox is a pretty cool product too I might add, its just that the price they want is kind of high for what it is.

That is what they have always done and that is what they will continue to do. hehe.Īnyway, MixBox is definitely cool, but IK has made a reputation for themselves over decades of all kinds of marketing mumbo jumbo with gear credits, jam points, humongous sales with prices slashed beyond belief on a regular basis, use group buy opportunities, etc. The grand plan is to extract money from our pockets. Whereas I would be willing to pay for the extra functionality Mixbox brings, but again, NOT for duplicate fx “algorithms” that will get a release on both TR and MB going forward. I definitely will not pay twice for what still amounts to dozens of duplicate fx, into the future, without a lot more clarity from you guys.

If there are different design philosophies behind each “platform” and the answer is going to be “each has its own sets of benefits, drawbacks and specific use cases” I am afraid this move will introduce confusion and “FOMO” for me. Because if I have to pay twice, I may get Mixbox and abandon T-RackS. I mean going forward and something like SSSR would be released on both “platforms”, how would that work out for owners of both T-RackS AND Mixbox? Those are serious considerations - that need to be adressed upfront for me to be able to make the right judgement / decisions. And then a new reverb or some cool distortion emulation will be released for T-RackS AND Mixbox. To be clear, I also did not mean any disrespect.
