onthis is ABSOLUTELY worth getting
the amount of content is INSANE
Michael
onDanke Beat!
Ian Collins
onIt helps if you speak a bit of German when you get to the content licence bit (google translate helps). But the answer to the question is the same in German and English!
Ruzz
onThere’s an English translation option on the top right of the serial page. No more licenses left for T-Racks One, I received this reply.

“Unfortunately the serial numbers for this product are empty.
We will get more licenses soon and get in touch with you then “[/quote]
Jamie

Trizio
onThey won’t. I wrote a comment down here about that
Patrik Roncolato
onGood news! T-Racks One licenses has arrived1 I was wrong luckily :)
Tomislav Zlatic
onGlad to hear that! :)
Francisco Gómez

Numanoid
onSad stuff, but I have lost €5 a lot more easy during my life
Hope you enjoy the included plugins
Fernando Gomez
onYes, it includes plugins an other cool stuff!
Praneet
onWhere is page no. 11? I don’t understand.
Praneet
onSorry for that, where am I supposed to get the Magazine from? I signed up for the newsletter, but now what? What am I supposed to do?
Kurgle
onAfter you register they will send you an e-mail that has a link to download the magazine. (PDF format) Just click the link and download the mag. In the magazine you’ll find all the info on how to download the extra content. Cheers!
HPN
onHow do I register for Thorn Solo?
Jak Damien
onHow do you get Thorn?
HPN
onAfter registration, they’ll send you link to magazine. In that Magazine, there’s a link to download DVD. You will have to answer their riddle/question to download the content. In the magazine, there’s another link to get serials by email.
Frank Reitz
onThe registration part dies not seem to work. It gives you an activation link, but the the link does not give any licenses.
Rogue Reaper
onYou’ll get another mail in your email with the serials and passwords after a little while.
Dee.P.Tree
onIt seems, these two are not available anymore:
1. T-RackS ONE by IK Multimedia (no license available) and
2. FXPansion Geist2 Lite (no longer available at developer website, gives 404 error)
But the effort of clicking multiple links for verifications and activation codes is worth for Waves Elements 2, Thorn BE and LittleOne BE.
Links and activations are working for me.
Gery Zenz
onThere is no Geist 2 Lite, only Geist 1 Lite. The installer is on the DVD.
Dee.P.Tree
onSorry, my error! I meant Geist lite.
But, it is not available anymore.
Gabriel Garcia
onThis is great. Thanks for the heads up!
Do you know where we need to enter the serial for Thorn?
Numanoid
onI got both Thorn Beat and Thorn CM back when they first came out as magware.
And when Plugin Alliance took over the sale and distribution of Thorn at the start of last year, for some reason I got an offer from them to upgrade to the full version for just $19 !
Naturally I bought it straight away, it is no doubt among the best synths of the present day.
ambedo
onagreed – i recently got thorn w/ a voucher combined with their sale for $20 and im blown away. I wish there was more visual feedback when using modulation – but thats the only gripe i have with it. The sounds it can create (with ease) are outstanding. The glitch sequencer is a genius thing to add into a synth.
Rogue Reaper
onI’m probably missing something simple but key, but I can’t seem to find the unrar password for Zampler Ethnic Symphony?
Rogue Reaper
onOh, never mind. That’s the serialcenter.de thingy.
RumblePie
onYes Thanks A Lot For This!
The Special Welcome Bundle is Subscribers only though, As far I I get it?
Numanoid
onI suggest anybody having a special look at serialcenter.de
As noted in the magazine there is a special welcome subscriber package
Following the clues I got Klevgränd Degrader (valued at €39.99)
Wing Yee
onThanks for all your Beat Magazine tips!
RumblePie
onThanks a lot for this!
That Welcome – Pack is for Subscriber Only though as it seems.
Still a good offer anyhow!
George
onAt SerialCenter or StudioDive.de? Could you point at the page in the magazine with the instructions? Thank you and have a good day :D
P.D: Does the subscription requires payment?

Atme
onCould someone please tell, if the download content includes Xils 3 V2 BE (version 2)?? Thanks in advance.
Kurgle
onNope, I did not see it there and I downloaded everything they had available.
Pham Duong
onIf anyone interested, Waves Berzerk Distortion is currently free if you enter the Waves Audio Future Bass Contest on Skiomusic, or you can get it free on Waves website via this link

Kenny Jaxx
onI bought the issue with no problems thanks to reading the comments here! I’ve been waiting a long while for BEAT to be in English, and now the wait is over! Respect.
Tomislav Zlatic
onGlad to hear it!
David
onGot the free #174 mag and ‘DVD’ content. Got the licensing info from serialcenter.de
All good.
But the ‘Exclusive gift for subscribers’ mentioned in the mag editorial is something different.
Went to studiodrive site.
Looks like have to Register to be able to download the ‘Beat Subscriber Bundle 2020’
On the register page asks for beat mag customer number (to have access to exclusive downloads).
Click on ‘Where do I find my customer number?’
Indicates an example of a number on a physical postage packet.
So looks like this free mag plus DVD online deal is not considered to be having a proper subscription with eligibility for the ‘Beat Subscriber Bundle 2020’.
Is that right?
Absolutely not complaining, just seeking clarity.
Trizio
onABOUT T-RACKS ONE, not fair in my opinion:
Hi Patrik,
we have some licenses left but we need to reserve them for paying customers. Did you buy the mag? If so, can you forward the invoice?
Cheers,
Marco
Jepperang
on:( Was really excited for that one!
