The guys over at Production Expert made a post about the demise of software subscriptions. I think it’s a little hopeful. But if we keep the discussion focused the DAW-related software industry, it’s pretty clear that most of the Millennials and older buyers LOATHE subscriptions. I’m careful to make a clear distinction between what I’d like to…Read More

@peter also, you or anyone have any experience with the Kia freebie?I definitely downloaded it and played around with it years ago — I would guess that it was during the pandemic — but I never tried it again. I think it was alright, I just didn’t have a use for it.

@lamia6 I have some suggested additions to make to the list in the original post, at your discretion, of course. If you don’t think a synth is worthy of this, don’t include it, just tell me why! You use synths a lot more than me — and you actually know how to program them — so I defer to your judgment. Here goes:

I’m going to add this, if we can fund it from the community. So, if we can raise enough to cover the costs, which are around $120 for the first year, I’ll add the functionality.

The only sub I have ATM is EW Composer Cloud that was $88 a couple months ago (1 year). I already own a few of theirs and it gives me chance to spend a year with everything I don’t have.
