IMO, that’s a no-brainer. I paid $149 US for it during their Black Friday sale and that was an incredible deal.

I’ve written this before — because believe me, when you’ve advised some of their competitors, it’s not like praising them is great for your relationships with their competitors, it’s not. But I’m a strategist, not an influencer. I’ve never sold my right to express my honest opinion like influencers inherently do (that’s how they make their money, by building up people’s trust and then marketing that to whatever brands will buy it) — but IMO, there is no better sample library value on the market than Musio. It’s an insane deal because Cinesamples has a killer catalog with production costs that were already covered years ago (now they just have royalties to the musicians, engineers, and possibly coders/scripters on these libraries).

The one big caveat is that you’re buying all of those great sample libraries in a proprietary player, so if Musio goes bust, those libraries are contained in a player and format that makes them a dead end if the support for the player ends. But, IMO, at this price point — or even for $200 — it’s well worth the risk. I want to see Musio succeed and the prices for high quality sample libraries continue to come down.
