What is also important is the sound card, I have a Steinberg UR22, baffles and monitoring low-end (one Samson Media 4A). Intel Core I3 / 4 Gigs of Ram HDD at 7500 rev / min, DELL laptop. I also updated the app to the latest version without any particular concern. For the purchase of additional equipment must be some manipulations, but it's still simple. For product installation Custom Shop test for 3 days this is also done in a few clicks.
Installing Windows 7 32-bit, no particular concern. In this case you can typically get 4x the credits for the amount of money you spend. It is a better idea to wait until IKM is having a 'group buy' for credits.
Regardless, my opinion is that you should never gear credits at full price. Many people complain that they should be able to use their money to buy gear, rather than use their money to buy credit which is used to buy gear. The 'gear credits' aspect of Custom Shop is another big complaint. I typically turn off the internet connection when I am using my computer for music, but just turn the internet on when I need to authorize some gear. I suppose if your computer cannot connect to the internet then Custom Shop could be a hassle. There are many people that complain that they don't want to use Custom Shop, they would just rather only have AT3. Virtual or 'modeled' gear has been around for a long time, it was only a matter of time before someone took the analogy a step further by creating a virtual or 'modeled' shop to purchase the gear from. I have no complaints about this at all.Ĭustom Shop is an innovative idea.
I got to give IKM for having a reliable system on there end of things because this program has to connect to their servers for use, and I have never experienced any down time. I haven't really come across any 'bugs' since I have been using it.
I was pleasantly surprised that the software worked as well as it did when it first was released. Minor complaint, but nonetheless a little frustrating. Next, if you want to select another cabinet, you have to return all the way to the home screen rather than being able to simply return to the last screen where you left off. A new screen will come up and say you can 'demo' this cabinet. For instance, if you want to select a couple of different cabinet models to try out, you have to navigate from the home screen to the cabinet section, then select one of the cabinets you want to try.
I've found some of the navigation is a little inefficient. After opening the program, it is necessary to log in with your IKM account. It provides an interface for the user to 'try' and 'buy' gear to be used in AT3. Supported Plug-in formats: VST, RTAS.Amplitube Custom Shop is a software application to be used in conjuction with IK Multimedia Amplitube 3.
