Test: Behringer Wave – the PPG sound (too) close to the original?
Behringer Wave is a copy of the first Wavetable synthesizer, the PPG Wave series. The housing in striking blue is slightly more compact and the connections are slightly more modern, but both sound production and operation are almost identical to the original – which is not only beneficial …
Social media in change: what comes after Facebook?
The world of social media is going through its biggest upheaval yet. This sounds a little tragic at first, but it doesn’t have to be necessary. Because the central problem in the architecture of Facebook and Twitter — the first-generation social media — was that feeds became unmanageable, attention dissolved into endless bystreams, discussions became more hostile and escalated by increasing anonymity.
Despite all the deficiencies of the platform, a kind of vacuum is now opening: What comes after the end of the meta-monopoly?

It says 2024?

[doug]

This one says 2005

https://audioplugin.deals/product/beat-magazine-platinum-12-month-subscription-2025/

But the URL has 2025 in it and the copy text says 2024.

I am so confused.

Bottom line is it is a one year subscription, starting from the date you redeem the code sent to you, with access to all back issues. Ignore the text.

This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.

Yep, the page title reads: “BEAT Magazine Platinum 12 Month Subscription 2005.”

I suspect that both links are good for the same 12 month subscription. But I’ll send the Audio Plugiin Deals folks an email and let them know and report their response here.

Granted, there’s probably a 5% commission, so it would only be around $1.50, but if anyone is looking to buy this and wants to help LinkedMusicians too, if you use the below URL, you’ll get the same price and we’ll get a commission (affiliate, basically, it’s where sellers see affiliates as doing sales promotion/advertising for them and gives a commission, as it is used in place of advertising):

I just heard back from Audio Plugin Deals. This was the reply:

“…we’d recommend going for the 2025 version of the deal as the content is likely to be much more current and available – BEAT Magazine Platinum 12 Month Subscription 2005 | Audio Plugin Deals/”

That’s this link for a new 12 month subscription:
