The all-round music creation suite for every stage of production



March 4, 2021 - IK Multimedia releases Total Studio 3 MAX for Mac/PC, the freshly updated version of their popular software suite for music creation. With 124 included products, Total Studio 3 MAX covers every stage of music production: composing, producing, designing, mixing, mastering and playing. With over 440GB of rich, authentic sounds and over 480 ultra-realistic FX, Total Studio 3 MAX offers users a complete solution for creating music in virtually any style.

The widest range of sounds in a single package
Total Studio 3 MAX packs a massive 14,600 instruments, including IK's newest releases SampleTank 4 MAX, Hammond B-3X, and MODO DRUM, plus Syntronik Deluxe, MODO BASS and Miroslav Philharmonik 2. That's over 440 GB of sounds, from orchestral to synthesizers to organs, as well as incredibly realistic physically modeled bass and drums. There's virtually no limit to the sounds available, making Total Studio 3 MAX ideal for every genre and style.

The latest effects and design
On the effects side, Total Studio 3 MAX is loaded with 487 effects and processors for everything from tone tweaking to sound design to mixing and mastering. Users get AmpliTube 5 MAX, IK's flagship guitar and bass tone studio with 14 brand and artist collections, all benefiting from IK's latest breakthroughs in modeling technology.

For mixing and mastering, there's T-RackS 5 MAX with award-winning new modules like Sunset Sound Studio Reverb and the Tape Machine Collection, plus MixBox, ARC 3 and Lurssen Mastering Console. From tracking guitars to mastering albums, all the gear users need is here, looking and sounding better than ever.

Fuel for creativity
To get users going, Total Studio 3 MAX includes thousands of presets, including VIP artist and engineer presets. So, whether it's tracking a Hammond organ or mastering a pop song, instant inspiration is just a click away. Any category presets, including artist, can also serve as starting points and be saved as user presets for recall later.

Keeping it all together
Included with Total Studio 3 MAX is the new IK Product Manager, which automates the installation process and keeps all the IK products organized and up to date. Users can now focus on making music instead of updating software.

SE edition also available
For those on a budget, but who don't want to skimp, there's Total Studio 3 SE. This bundle includes seven applications for a total of 21 plug-ins. Users get SE versions of AmpliTube 5, MODO DRUM & MODO BASS, SampleTank 4, T-RackS 5, plus Miroslav Philharmonik CE and Lurssen Mastering Console. That's an impressive 3,936 instruments and sounds, plus 161 effects in all to get any job done.

Peter,
Do you know if the Amplitube 5 Max from the axe I/o bundle qualifies for the Maxgrade pricing?

Peter,
Do you know if the Amplitube 5 Max from the axe I/o bundle qualifies for the Maxgrade pricing?

That would qualify you for the crossgrade pricing.

Hello, Yesterday I have received an email from IK Multimedia presenting the Total Studio 3 MAX crossgrade offer: "Get Total Studio 3 MAX for only $/€299.99, ...As a current MAX bundle owner, you’re eligible for even further savings! Just log in and add Total Studio 3 MAX to your cart. This will unlock your exclusive discount, which will automatically be applied."
I'm really interested in this promotion, but after logging in the price shown for the product is €499.99 and when I add Total Studio MAX to the cart the price does not change to €299.99.

How can I join this promotion?
Could you please help me in solving the problem?

Thanks,
Massimiliano

Same thing, that's why I was asking in the first place, and I received a second email after the above clarifications were made.

[Peter_IK]

You would need to contact IK Support who can look into your accounts and see why they system doesn't see you as qualifying and whether you received the email in error or if there is something in the system or which logon you're using etc etc that might cause the issue.

The moderators, admins, nor users of this forum would not have any way to check this for you.

Edit - note that if you received an answer from support, there's nothing that can be done in this thread or by the forum moderators or admins. If you feel you received emails you should not have that is also something that you'd need to discuss with them.

I've just sent a clarification request to IK Multimedia support (message sent using the webpage). Let's see. I will post an update when I receive a response.

Thanks,
Max

If you feel your ticket is not being handled to your satisfaction please see the guidelines of this forum here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19505 as to what to do in that case. Thank you.

Also note that the footer of all newsletters does state the following if you may have received an email in error etc:

All purchases from the IK online store are subject to VAT in the EU and may vary by country. Although IK strives to provide accurate product and pricing information, unintentional pricing or typographical errors may occur. IK reserves the right to correct, change or update information such as pricing, availability and product descriptions, at any time without notice.

The team that sends emails and creates the audiences for those emails has been alerted to the fact that a few may have received email with pricing for which they do not qualify.

[dscheidt]

Thank you for alerting the email team.

[Peter_IK]

Thank you for alerting the email team.

You're welcome and I've also asked for additional consideration after re-reading what I posted above (being told that qualifies for Crossgrade) but I wanted someone to look further into that and triple check to make sure that policy to see if it might have been an oversight, coding issue, etc. Re-reading it made me realize it might warrant a second look from "the brass" I can't make any guarantees but I can at least kick up some dust.

Peter,
Thank you, I appreciate what you do for this forum. I apologize for spouting off a bit, just a bit frustrated.

Thank you again!

[maxp0167]

Peter, thank you for your support.

Max

[Peter_IK]

Happy to help. I would recommend checking again, I believe this has been fixed! Please let me know, I'll be overjoyed if you can finally get the proper discount.
