🔥 Musio 1 Perpetual License LOWEST PRICE EVER – $119.60 REG. $399 DEAL OVER

[LinkedMusicians]

NOTE THIS DEAL HAS ENDED.

Cinesamples / Musio CEO Mike Patti had stated earlier this year that he was pulling Musio 1 Perpetual License version at the end of the month. I even posted on this forum that I didn’t believe it. It turns out I was right. What I called the best Black Friday of the year last year (2024) is back at a significantly lower price. Only $119.60, I paid $179 for it and called it probably the best sample library collection deal in my life. This, IMO, is  a no-brainer if you use orchestral libraries, pianos, drums, etc. It’s amazing and now it has multiple mics you can mix. There is no other deal in the sample library market that can touch this deal.

NOTE THIS DEAL HAS ENDED. THE LINK NO LONGER WORKS. BEST SAMPLES NO LONGER CARRIES MUSIO 1 AND IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM A COUPLE OF OTHER DEALS FOR $399 WITH THE LOWEST PRICE BEING AT JRR SHOP,  $335.16 WITH THE CODE GROUP.

Geez, I paid over twice as much. Oh well, it was still good value.

Yeah, that’s why I decided to pin it. I would rate this and UAD’s 10 plugins for $99 — reduced to $89.10 with a code — as the best Black Friday deals I’ve seen to date, beyond the freebies. That said, I already own UAD’s Signature V2 or whatever it’s called — basically, I own almost every UAD native plugin they have and I bought Musio last year for $179 and I use it all the time, especially for strings.

<sarcasm>I’m so glad they retired Musio 1 like they said they were going to do.</sarcasm>

Can’t believe anything they say at this point.

Maybe this is the year I finally release something 🙂

What was giving away that he wasn’t going to do what he said he was going to do?

(1) His track record.

(2) I don’t think total revenue is good enough to pull the product from resellers.

So, two is based on social media mentions and very low YouTube views for Musio videos. If revenue (sales) were going great, I’m sure that Mike would have pulled Musio 1 off the market. The product represents very bad strategy, IMO. They should never have put every library in it. It should have less than half of what it has in it. They gave away the store for a ridiculous price and would have to create new sample libraries to make additional revenue from those customers. The fact is, as long as Musio stays in business, this may be the best sample library deal in the history of sample libraries. It’s that big of a deal and I’ve been giving these developers advice since the early 00s. I know this market and the developers in it very well. I think to sample library buyers, they think they’re all friendly, but in reality, there are a bunch of really nice people in the business and then a bunch of cut throat very nasty, unethical developers — probably the worst of which owns a major forum (believe me, the developer community — beyond his pals — really don’t like the situation, but they still need to work with the guy because his site brings together the biggest spenders in the industry; he’s trying to bring down Musio and SoundPaint, I think we’d do well to support both of these developers, as they’re disurptors that are changing pricing for orchestral sample libraries and making them far more accessible).

So, in the end, would I trust this guy’s word or the word of Mike Greene (VI-Control / Realitone) who’s worked hard, leveraging his forum platform to put Cinesamples and 8Dio of business, no. But I think a lot why Mike Patti tells us things that we know aren’t reality is because he’s really not good at strategy.  I know first hand the reason that Greene tells us things that aren’t true are because he knows they aren’t true and he’s trying to achieve a certain objective. I strongly suspect Mike Patti wanted to discontinue Musio 1, but in the end, realized that he needed it to keep the lights on.

If Mike Patti ends up reading this, here’s what I recommend that you do.

1. Discontinue Musio 1 as soon as you can replace it.

2. Replace Musio 1 with a series of smaller perpetual license sample library collections. For example, Musio 1 Strings, Musio 1 Keyboards, Musio 1 Percussion, etc. Price them at attractive price points, but with enough margins that you can do deep discount sales that are effective for moving product in this market. Sell these through retail channel partners.

3. Continue with the marketplace as you are doing, but do offers through retail channel partners.

Free consulting. I sincerely want to see Musio succeed, as I want to see SoundPaint succeed. It’s great for the market, for innovation (even when most of what they’re doing is reselling older, long ago paid for libraries, it still pushes the market to compete and that sometimes results in innovation). Go competition! The enemy for music producers are the developers who play dirty, using false stories, spreading malicious, defamatory rumors designed to kill off these disruptors so that they can keep their prices, and subsequently, profit margins, high.

It could be, but I don’t think so.

Cinesamples is using its proprietary platform and issues all its own serials, as opposed to developers using a third-party platform like Kontakt. If Cinesamples wanted to discontinue this product, it could easily pull it from all of the resellers. As it stands, it hasn’t pulled Musio 1 from any resellers that I’ve noticed. It’s available through all of the ones that have ever carried it. My guess is that others will also discount it for Black Friday also.

I am on the fence: Do I jump on it now, or wait until Best Service has their inevitable coupon codes for Christmas to bring it down a bit more

I think that’s a tough call, because Cinesample’s CEO has stated that he was pulling Musio 1 from the market months ago, but clearly didn’t follow through. I would expect that we’ll see discounting at other resellers soon, and if we do, then I would have a lot more confidence that this sale will last at least until the day after Black Friday, but as of today, there’s no stated expiration date on the sale.

@xandre, I think I’m with you here. Let’s gamble! I don’t think I need this megalomaniac libraries aimed at movie composers, so don’t lose much if I miss it. And if there will be a deeper discount, they still win, cos they are a casino here, not me: they still get money from me that wouldn’t be gotten in other case.

i’ve been watching this deal and no other stores are offering musio 1 perpetual version for anything near this price. jrrshop has it for $399, but you can knock it down to $359.10 using a discount code!
