IK Multimedia has a number of their products on sale for $49 through May 31, down from the regular $149: - AmpliTube 4
- T-RackS 5
- Miroslav 2 CE
- SampleTank 4 SE
- Lurssen Mastering Console
A number of people on this forum use the Lurssen Mastering Console and have good things to say about it. It's been on my "To Buy" list for some time, but since I'm happy with the mastering chain that I've got, it's been at the bottom of that list. But for $49, it looks like I'm finally going to pull the lever for this.

Hi David,
Thanks for passing this information on. As a result, I've just purchased Miroslav Classic Edition.
Really appreciate the heads up,
Noel

Hope it works well for you! I've got the older versions of Miroslav, but IK doesn't allow de-authorization, so if I want to use it on my current computer, I'll apparently have to pay $20 for a transfer license. On the bright side, I ended up getting the Lurssen Mastering Console, so all I need to do now is start writing some songs again...

This doesn't really make sense to me, David. All my IK libraries allow multiple installations, and I've even see the install count reset occasionally. I even asked them one time to reset my count, and they did. For example, when I look at my account, I see Miroslav Philharmonik (version 1; I haven't yet upgraded to v2) that is installed on three different computers, and it says I have 9 authorizations left.

I even asked them one time to reset my count, and they did. OK... Because of your comment I finally worked this out. The authorization from the Miroslave (version 1) is broken (the web link it tries to use doesn't exist), and attempting to authorize from the web didn't work. But since I installed the the Lurssen Mastering Console I installed last night using the IK Authorizer, I tried using that instead. Success! So thanks! Now I just need to re-install all the instruments, because the GUI is coming up blank...

Ah, another wrinkle. I'd assumed that I could just download the sounds again (my old machine's drive crashed hard), but no... Clicking the "Miroslav Sounds" button on the web brings up the message: No Download Reactivation Credit has been purchased. In order to reactivate, please click the 'Buy Now' button above to visit our webstore to purchase.So they know that I've got a licensed copy, and they'll let me re-download and install the program. But I need to spend $10 to re-activate the sounds download. I guess that's not an unreasonable fee, but still...  Ironically, I held on to the install DVD for years, and I think I finally tossed it out last week on the assumption that I could download the sounds again. Oh, well. Live and learn.

if you didn't DELETE or UNINSTALL Miro. Phil 1 from your PC the library of sounds is still there on your PC -you just need to re-point Miro. to them.
Yes you needed the new authorization manager (that's what Luressen installed an updated one) because their web site links changed for authorization to your account of "stuff"

I keep all my sounds downloaded to an external USB, which allows me to reinstall whenever I need to. That 2TB USB is backed up to another 2TB drive. In fact, all my programs and libraries are stored there, so for reinstallation of any program or sound library, I don't have to mess with DVDs anymore.

I lost them in a hard drive crash, so they're gone for good. I didn't bother to reinstall them because I'd upgraded Notion, so it wouldn't talk to the 32 bit application anymore. And I have other orchestral libraries, so I just used those instead. $10 really isn't too bad to get the full library back, I just wish I hadn't tossed out the original DVD last week.

Gotca - and you're right a tenner is not a bad cost and your tale will remind folks to KEEP ORIGINALS or backups (FOREVER).

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
