Musio has reworked their subscription to include all the third party offerings for $150/year sub (Audio Ollie, Project SAM, Sound Iron…) as “Musio+ Complete”.

The DEAL here is for those that bought the “everything forever” bundle for $499 a couple years ago.  You should have a license update in your account to include all third party libraries for no additional cost as a “Musio+ Complete Forever” license.

That’s a fantastic deal for the Lifetime Deal buyers. I did not expect that. Considering that you bought the lifetime deal, I am guessing this makes you pretty happy. Is that right, @bluescat?

I bought the Musio1 deal and just want to see Cinesamples succeed/survive. But I’m very happy for lifetime deal customers. Cinesamples brought in top notch developers like SoundIron and Project Sam.

I think Cinesamples (Musio) would be wise to create bundle pricing for Musio, where people could spend say $99 and get several sample libraries for the many music producers who are allergic to subscriptions. I always thought Musio 1 was a strategically terrible idea and unsustainable, like lifetime deals. If Musio simply had a bundle with say, solo strings, piano, electric piano, choir, some tuned and untuned percussion for $99 or $149 it would bring new users into the Musio ecosystem where they would spend more. It would take both savvy and marketing communications spending that I’m guessing Cinesamples can’t afford to make the subscription model a true success. That said, I’d be happy to be proven wrong and see Musio thrive. I’m extremely happy with Musio 1 and the value for what I paid. Cinesamples / Musio undoubtedly make great sample libraries and while Musio is extremely basic as a sample player and I wish it had more and better effects, overall, I still love it for what it is.
