AIR Upgrade Offer?

[lampmusic]

A few days ago I got an e-mail from Air Music Technology stating that I can upgrade the Air Creative Collection (Free) to AIEP3 for $99?

Has anyone done this? I see no mention of this on their website and it can only be accessed through a hot link in the e-mail.

I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly that you are able to get the full version of AIEP3 for only $99?

If so that sounds like a pretty good deal.

Any thoughts?

Never seen this as usually it is PTIEP1 or PTIEP2 that was a paid extra you can update to IEP3 so i would email them and ask as I doubt that the Creative Collection that comes free with PT is used as upgrade to IEP3.

I can be wrong of course but it seems a bit too good as we all have the AIR Creative Collection so everyone would probably update if this was an option.

According to Simon Bangs (inMusic Brands), this was a US$99.99 Upgrade offer from the earlier Pro Tools Instrument Expansion Pack to AIEP3:

Heya
I think they misunderstood the email, the offer was for $99.99 from Pro Tools Instrument Pack, Pro Tools Expansion Pack of AIEP 1 or AIEP 2
We also highlighted a free update to the Air Creative Collection.
Kind Regards

Nice offer for those early-adopters!

So, what exactly do you get with the upgrade? As far as I can tell there is no Strike 3.0, Structure 3.0, Transfuser 3.0 or Loom 3.0...only Hybrid 3 So what's the "3" in AIEP3?

That's right.

Having the AAX versions for Pro Tools, as well as the VST/AU versions to work in other DAWs, is possibly the major appeal for many. There’s also 8 Expansion Packs, as well as THE RISER, DB-33, MINI GRAND, XPAND!2 and AIR Creative FX Collection PLUS.
The original PTIEP/AIEP 1 had Hybrid, Structure, Strike, Velvet and Transfuser – Loom and Vacuum Pro were added in AIEP 2.

AIR Creative FX Collection PLUS
http://www.airmusictech.com/product/...-plus#overview
has Twenty Classic FX from Pro Tools in (AU64, VST32, and VST64) plus:
Eight all new plugins (AAX64, AU64, VST32, and VST64):
AIR Pumper:
Pumper creates a rhythmic pumping effect, similar to that of sidechain compression, with an assignable speed, depth and envelope shape.
AIR Spectral:
Spectral analyzes an incoming signal (its frequencies, level, MIDI notes, and other information) and determines which frequencies will and will not be part of the resynthesized output signal. Set the incoming signal with the Filter By controls, and then play with the “dissolve,” envelope, and stereo phase controls to experiment with the sound. The results may surprise you!
AIR DiffusorDelay:
Delay line effect that is synchronized to your session tempo and uses an adjustable amount of diffusion, thus emulating the dissipation of echoes in reverberant space.
AIRTubeDrive:
Tube Drive emulates the sound of the signal being played through a mildly “overdriven” tube amp, creating a warm, smooth-sounding distortion.
AIRCompressor:
Compressor changes the dynamic range of a signal by automatically reducing its gain if it exceeds a certain level (the threshold).
AIRMaximizer:
Maximizer is a limiter optimized for professional mastering.
AIRParametricEQ:
Four-band parametric equalizer with four independent EQ ranges.
AIRSaturationFilter:
Saturation Filter applies a filter to an incoming audio signal and then applies a selectable type of distortion,reduction, etc to that filtered signal.

Well, if we ever see a Transfuser 3 and/or a Strcuture 3, I might be interested...depending on what new features that might include. Otherwise...nope!
