I've never used the tape model although I understand it's quite good but the distortion on the page is super fun to play around with!I wouldn't go so far as to say industry-leading, but the tapes are respectable. I've seen many lovely comments about Chow Tape Model https://chowdsp.com/products.html - The scary part is that its also free.Meanwhile you can get the full Tracks Max 2 with 53 plugins for $49.99 USD at their website - $42.99 USD if you've got $7.00 in Jam Points (81cents a plugin - yeah).

Some of the bundle goes head to head with the best out there. This bundle include the 8 tapes which are industry leading, Complexor, Farm Stone Room, Fame Studio Verb, the Leslie .... all of it. Even if you owned most of them that is a fantastic deal to get what you are missing if you would use them of course.
I suppose you don't get credit for what you already own but really? Do we begrudge them some profit as slim as it may be on a sale like this?
Backward compatibility can be troublesome in some cases but in fairness it isn't limited to IK. Universal Audio's latest update warns us that that older projects won't reference the new VST files. Melda, who are amazing with this particular concern, have explained in specific cases where they have had to break backwards compatibility. I've got at least 7 generations of Waves libraries installed and they keep pushing WUP so that I can keep them all up to date and for 1 year run them on two computers. Arturia has ceased specific generation updates on a per plugin basis and introduced new version in the later bundles. That works but they do expect you have both versions installed and authorized.
I guess I see it differently than some posters here. I am just a bit at odds with the direction of this thread. All I see is value. Don't mind me, carry on.
