Album assembly unavailable

[alainmarchand]

Hi,
I recently bought T-RackS 5 under the T-RackS Group Buy offer.

However, the Album assembly function is not available with the installation I have.

Why?

Many thanks for your help,

Alain

Hello alainmarchand and welcome to the forum.

TR5 itself was not part of the Group Buy. The Group Buy covered the individual TR5 plug-ins. TR5 is currently on sale for 99.99 (plus VAT). Please see
https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tr5/?pkey=tr5
And, as you were a participant you could use the coupon code (sadly, I cannot remember what it is) to get a further 50 discount, down to 49.99.

Here is some info from the GB thread on KvR:

1 Resizing (and some other features -see below) is NOT available for individual plug-ins.
2 It is available for those that choose to purchase one of the three bundle/collection packages (TR5, TR5 De Luxe, TR5 MAX, not TR5 Custom Shop) instead of building up singles.
3 If those features are important to you, that is something you'd need to weigh vs the value of what you get free with this Group Buy.
4 If you have a T-RackS 5 bundle you'll have resizing for your T-RackS plugins (not just those in the suite).
5 Of course, you could use JamPoints earned on your entry into the T-RackS Group Buy (and/or other IK purchases) toward one of the 3 bundles, being careful to select plug-ins not included in the bundle.

The T-Racks 5 Custom Shop page says (my text tinting):

What's NEW

• 4 new processors available for separate purchase: Master Match, Dyna-Mu, ONE, EQual
  
• Resizable*, redesigned interface and plugin GUIs
  
• Expandable broadcast-ready metering suite*
  
• Floating meters option*
  
• Chains of up to 16 processors
  
• Album Assembly section with waveform editing and metadata*
  
• Enhanced audio engine
  
• Up to 192 kHz/32-bit floating point*
  
• 4 dithering algorithms
  
• Equal gain option*
  
• Signature presets from the industry's top engineers*

* Features available by upgrading to T-RackS 5, T-RackS 5 Deluxe or T-RackS 5 MAX.

Hi DarkStar,

Wow! Many thanks for your fast and very complete reply!

It sounds that I will have to pay twice some plugins for Album Assembly!

Anyway, I'm fixed now and I thank you again for your great help.

All the best,

Alain

The group buy was for single plugins, Album Assembly is indeed part of the T-RackS 5 suite so you would need that to get Album Assembly and other features.

The offer DarkStar mentions is a great deal for T-RackS 5, special for the group buy participants.

Dear Peter,

Many thanks for your reply that complement the one from DarkStar.

For sure, I'm really well informed now!

All the best,

Alain.

You could try contacting Support, explain your circumstances and ask if anything can be done about the duplicates.
