Hello, I’m Jooyoung Kim, a sound engineer and music producer.
Today, I’m following up on my late June post with another roundup of summer plugin sales. Summer and winter are when the big discounts hit, so let’s dive in! 😄
If you make purchases through my Plugin Boutique links, I earn a small commission, which really helps me keep the lights on. Thanks in advance!
Here we go:
1) Cinesamples Musio 1 (~7/15)
The download process is a bit of a hassle, and you can’t freely choose mic positions, which is a downside. But for the price, it’s an absolute steal. If you’re looking to get into orchestration virtual instruments, I highly recommend starting with this one. It goes on 50% off pretty often, so grabbing it during one of these sales is the way to go for the best value.
2) Brainworx & Plugin Alliance (~7/31)
Both Brainworx and Plugin Alliance plugins are on sale across the board. These guys tend to have major discounts in summer and winter, so if you miss this round, keep an eye out for winter sales.
3) Ample Sound (~8/1)
The Ample Guitar series is also discounted. I personally record my own guitars, but I think these are some of the most authentic-sounding guitar virtual instruments out there.
4) Softube (~7/31)
Aside from the Weiss DS1-MK3, which I’m dying to get my hands on, a bunch of other Softube plugins are on sale too.
5) Audified (~7/21)
MixChecker Ultra and Pro, great tools for checking your mixes, are on sale. I’ve written a review about them before, so if you’re interested, check it out for more details.
6) Eventide Immersive (~8/4)
I mentioned Eventide in my last post, but their Immersive series just went on sale recently. I remember these plugins being crazy expensive when they first came out, but the current discounts make them much more reasonable. For anyone working in immersive multichannel formats, these could be game-changers.
That’s the lineup for now!
Most of the sales I mentioned in Part 1 have been extended, by the way. Personally, if you don’t already own BFD, I strongly recommend grabbing BFD 3.5 and its expansion packs while they’re on sale.
That’s it for now. See you in the next post! 😊
