Music Software Deals

Best Service tend to have the best pricing on the Melda products in general: https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/?manufacturer=46

Here's all of the prices across different vendors at the moment (plus price history since Feb): https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/Hollywood-Orchestra-Opus---Diamond-Edition-by-EastWest-35135/

Thanks! Yep that's a big which we're fixing at the moment. Each of the duplicates gets merged into one

Lowest price so far! https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/Continuo-2-by-Karanyi-Sounds-2011/

Added Producerspot.com store now too - so we're now collecting data from 18 stores in total (and over 200 brands)

And in case you're wondering, here are the cheapest products on ADSR on sale right now between $0 - $19 in ascending order https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/?store=525&price_to=19&sort_by=price_asc

Thanks. We've also updated the search box so if you search for a company name (manufacturer) it will show the results there too. Eg. if you search for Project SAM, it will show you all Project Sam products in the results

@mibby We've now added the new feature you asked for. Now when you change the search/display criteria, the URL autoupdates with the filters you choose so you can bookmark that particular search for the future. For example: https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/?price_to=20&sortBy=price_asc The above URL will show all deal from $0-$20 in ascending order starting from cheapest to most expensive within that bracket. This one would show all deals from Plugin Boutique only that are $0-$10: https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/?store=524&price_to=10&sortBy=price_asc So just change your search/filter criteria then save that URL as a bookmark and it will load the data you're looking for each time automatically 😀

Thanks, we've added that to the top of the website @mibby so you can see the last time the stores were scraped A few comments: - You can type into the price slider to select your min/max prices to show (we'll improve the layout later though) - We're in the process of updating the price alert email structure at the moment thanks for that feedback - We've updated the layout of the table view a little to improve that - We're in the process of storing your preferred search defaults at the moment. How it will work is each time you update the search filtering (eg. select a max price or chose a category) we update the URL (without reloading) and you can just bookmark that search in your browser or share the URL with someone. When you visits again using that URL we do a search based on the parameters in the URL. So no need for us to save your profile / information, we just update the URL based on your search parameters. One question for you that I'm still not sure about: So say you have a price alert setup on Audiority Grainspace. You click on the link for Audiority Grainspace in your "price alerts" page and it will bring you to where? The Audiority website? The Grainspace product page on Plugin Boutique etc.? Yes we scrape Waves directly for example. Who in particular do you want to see scraped?

@mibbythanks for all of this feedback really appreciate it, please keep it coming! 1. Slider over dropdown - we're fixing this at the moment 2. Slider being too large - yep we could change how its shown 3. Email alerts we intend to improve and are looking at right now. Do you mind me asking where are the price alerts from in your screenshot? What would you like to see in your price alert email, image, unsubscribe from one, unsibscribe from all? When you say you expect to be brought through to the product tab instead of history page, what would that look like exactly? Just a blank page with nothing other than the square on it? What is the point of being shown the square image when you click the link instead of the full history page?

Added some more features: 1. Price range filter - choose the price range for deals you'd like to see 2. Added "add alert" button to each deal on front page - default option is any price drop but you can select any options Working on the "search" functionality at the moment to let you search for any product even if there's no deal happening at the moment so you can see the price history for that product, setup alerts etc.

1. Add alert only opens a new window - yep we're working on it at the moment actually so not done yet 2. Making "any price drop" first option and default chosen - Sure we can do that, added to list 3. Personalising/saving filters/protecting emails - ha no we're never going to sell your email address and there are a number of security measures in place already. However we have a number of ideas for personalisation and more protections going forward

We've added some filtering on the price alert page (where you can see all of your price alerts setup) and you can click through to the "product price history" page for any product in your price alerts page now too (just click the product name)

Great ideas thanks we'll add these to the list!

Thomann and KVR Marketplace both added to the website now

Cool we'll do that so. Thanks glad you like it! Any other suggestions please do send our way!

Maybe we could just link the product name in the price alerts page to the main product price history/alerts page so when you click it you will see all of the ongoing sales there?

OK cool, but which store? Because you setup a price alert for multiple stores, so when you click on the product name, which store does it bring you to?

Hey sorry I missed that one. So you mean when you're in your "profile" page that lists all of your price alerts, you'd like to be able to click on the product name for each price alert to see the full price history information for that product?

Yea unfortunately that's not exactly right though because the Virtual Instruments & Samplers section has hardware like keyboards and Maschine samplers in it: https://www.thomannmusic.com/hotdeals_GF_virtual_instruments_and_samplers.html?SWVI=smb_22 Also, they never list the "full price" and "reduced price" just current price. We'll see what we can do though, thanks

Its working now. Sometimes if they make a small change to their website the bot needs to be updated but its never offline for long. We would like to add Thomann but unfortunately they don't list all music software deals in one place so its hard to do this without scraping their entire product database daily. Do you see anywhere they have a list of all existing software deals? Glad to hear it! Next feature we're working on is the "Search" box that will let you search for a specific product even if its not on sale

By the way, we've added Best Service to the website now too!

Hi @mibbygreat feedback thank you. 1. Yes its super basic for now just as an MVP 2. Yep its on the to do list 3. Interesting ideas, we'll take a look and see what we can do

1. Yes good point I guess. We'll make it more clear 2. Yes that's why I mentioned it. We're going to add a search box so that you can search for any product (whether on sale or not) and setup a price alert / see the price history even if its not currently on sale

1. Price notifications are in the price history on each product. So click into a deal, scroll to the bottom and you'll see the price notifications. 2. No actually, but we'll add a search box shortly so you can search for any product and set up a price notification
