I was recently talking to an indie developer about the market overall and the extreme deep discounting and how it puts pressure for developers to do very significant deep discounts to get attention in this market. Here we are months ahead of Black Friday and we have unbelievable discounts from developers big (NI, UAD, UJAM, IK, UVI…) and small.…Read More

Not surprisingly for those who know my taste in plug-in houses, I like the way MeldaProduction handles it. It’s never a big mystery when the sales are going to be and how much they are going to discount. They have their Eternal Madness Sale, in which every week 4 of their products are chosen (seemingly by some sort of weighted randomization…Read More

You’re the person who turned me on to MeldaProduction. To be really candid, I had remembered long ago when the developer did sock puppet accounts on KVR hyping up his stuff and I wrote him off as a scammer. Now, I can share that story, because he recently acknowledged it himself in a podcast. But he’s an incredible developer. Okay, 20 years from…Read More

My best guess is that the offer was only for email subscribers who’ve never made a purchase, as the email I used was the LM Gmail account and nott the email address I use for my UJAM customer account. If anyone else received his deal, please post here and let us know!

@andrewfly This was a crazy good deal — but so short!!! How about re-running it for the entire weekend?
Sorry to ask, but I know that a lot of people probably caught this one too late.

might be worthwhile to expand the table to clearly show the costs including:- purchase price for “perpetual license”
- monthly subscription price(s) – DAW vs truly optional component and services
- annual “maintenance / support fee” (if any)
- version “upgrade fee” (if any)

When you buy a DAW, you want to choose one that fits your work style and, as moving to a DAW requires a steep learning curve. DAW users generally plan on staying with a new DAW for several years. Consequently, we’re comparing the minimum cost of using the compared DAWs for a period of 5 years, looking at both perpetual license software and…Read More

Every plugin effects developer seems to have a tape saturation plugin. I’d love to see a shootout from a respected, non-influencer, engineer.

It’s lovely, @nickblanc. Very melodic and easy to get lost in. As usual, Inge’s voice sounds wonderful on it. I have one (silly) question: I saw an acoustic guitar in the video. Is that going to be played in an upcoming song, and if so, is it yours or Inge’s guitar?
