SampleTank 3

[musicman691]

Got an email from Sweetwater saying Sampletank 3 is available for pre-order. Checked the prices and $100 off list price. Went to check IK Multimedia site and find those prices are nothing special as the IK site has the same prices. See here:

One thing I'm ticked off about is that JamPoints are not accepted for this purchase when in this thread it was mentioned that they would be; it's a long thread and trying to find the posts where that's mentioned is difficult. I did find a post on page 38 of the thread where Peter_IK says:

"JamPoints are usable after the preorder period. The preorder pricing was set at such a low level in order to allow everybody to have access to a price that they would have had to use JamPoints to obtain and thus simplifying it for as many people as possible. Instead of people falling just short of $99.99, for example, or other JamPoint complexity and different experiences for everybody this was a much more reasonable solution to get the lowest price point out to many people."

Nothing at Audio Deluxe yet.

$100 upgrade (from version 2 or Miroslav) isn't bad at all. If anyone doesn't have a prior product, you can buy Miroslav for like $50. Since version 3 is supposed to be able to load the Miroslav library anyway, it's a good move - you save $100 and you get an orchestral library.

I got the email from Sweetwater also but I opted to purchase from IK directly.
Love Sweetwater but with upgrades I prefer to buy direct.

Wonder if Audio Deluxe will have it cheaper though??

Um, why buy direct? With Sweetwater you get IK support and Sweetwater support. Or am I wrong or missing something important?

It looks pretty good - lots of new instruments samples.

Needs OX 10.7 - I checked, so it won't work on my 10.6.8 system, only my 10.8.5 laptop.

I went for the 99.99 upgrade from IK.

Audio Deluxe may have it for less at some point though.

Very valid points.
I've been in the IT field for over 20 years. Haven't called for tech support since October of 1997 (HP).
That's what these wonderful forums are for right?!
But seriously, for me it just adds one extra layer to the mix that isn't really needed. Now if they really did have an exclusive on the price I would of bought it from Sweetwater.

Anyone know where you can get Mirosalv for $50. I see it for $150.

Any links would be appreciated.
