Dec 7: Scifi Tunes song collection $249.75 for unlimited commercial use ($99.75 for standard commercial, $4.99 for non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/sci-fi-tunes-22311/?license=commercial_unlimited

ends in 12 days and 5h

Dec 6: 90's Hip Hop Complete Bundle $12.49 (non-commercial $6.24) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/90s-hip-hop-complete-bundle-10249/?license=commercial_unlimited Parts 1, 2 or 3 $4.99 (non-commercial $2.49) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/90s-hip-hop-9558/?license=commercial_unlimited https://producerplanet.com/us/article/90s-hip-hop-part-2-9560/?license=commercial_unlimited https://producerplanet.com/us/article/90s-hip-hop-part-3-9559/?license=commercial_unlimited @kitekrazy - yeah, I'm not interested in license-restricted versions either, that's why I mention the royalty-free price first and post the links to them. I probably won't make money with music based on these loops but I don't like having to worry about it (will my YouTube videos ever get some monetization? who knows). I guess that for some people, having the option is a good thing and, as long as unencumbered versions are available I'm fine. It's a little annoying however, that the commercial prices aren't shown in the main pages and you have to dig a little deeper for every single one of them

Dec 5: Ultimate Christmas Song Collection $149.75 for unlimited commercial use ($74.75 for standard commercial, $3.74 for non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/ultimate-christmas-song-collection-20089/?license=commercial_unlimited

Magix has started their advent sales for producerplanet.com Dec 4: Ambient Chillout Sessions collection $19.99 (or $9.99 for non-commercial use) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/ambient-chillout-sessions-4450/?license=commercial_unlimited I think it's not exactly midnight CET (Germany) when the deal ends, that they apply a 2h "grace period", but I'm not entirely sure. If you miss a deal, maybe they will repeat it at the end of the sale (that's what they did last year). As a reminder: you probably want to buy vouchers from https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fanatical-music-bundle-2-by-magix (2x$20 vouchers, plus other products, for $10) and use them to further reduce the price. Only 1 voucher and 1 product per purchase is allowed. Any leftover money after applying the voucher will be lost, and it's all "buy it now" (there is no "cart", you cannot buy 2x$10 products with one $20 voucher, you cannot stack vouchers to get a more expensive item)

This weekend - Score: Mystic Dreams $8.99 for the commercially licensed option (or $4.99 for the non-commercial) https://producerplanet.com/us/article/mystic-dreams-4336/?license=commercial_unlimited This Soundpool contains all loops from 'FilmMusic Vol. 2' of 'Soundpool DVD Collection 2004' (Note: right now for $1 more you can get the "Music Bundle 2 by Magix" at fanatical.com that includes 2x$20 vouchers, applicable to this or many other soundpools)

These other algorithmic generators may be interesting for adding to the shopping basket as well https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/hexcel/ https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/midi-grid/ They're not on sale but they are just $5 (alternatively, keep them on the wishlist, for those months when you're interested in the freebie and there aren't other interesting sales)

Ecox is a vintage effect plug-in for emulating natural, full sound of analog effect devices and realistic tape echo sounds. $2.49 https://producerplanet.com/us/article/vintagefx-ecox-3203/

My mistake, sorry. I just noticed this: Please note that this plan does not include an upgrade plan for Pro Tools, and is available to all Pro Tools 11 and higher users

I think Steinberg grants you an automatic upgrade to the version that is current at the time of registration (that's what I got when I registered a cheap, old copy of Dorico 1.0 that I found and they gave me a free upgrade to 3.5)

Wow, I never thought I'd see this deal back Avid Digidesign Annual Plug-in and Support Plan Renewal https://www.jrrshop.com/avid-digidesign-annual-plug-in-support-plan-renewal

Your best bet for picking up recent releases at PA is to get the plugins when they are on sale individually and you can stack a $75 or $50 voucher (if you didn't get one of these, ask around, or use a Buy&Sell forum). E.g. 11/4/2021 1 DS Audio TANTRA 2 $149.99 2021-11 Customer Loyalty Monthly Vouchers - $75 SLO: DS Audio Tantra 2 for $99.99 -$50 Total $24.99

The Tiger The Frog categorized sales page at VI-Control is getting close to filling up the entire first page (and is already longer than last year) Anybody else thinking that it's still Saturday, and cyber-Monday deals haven't been announced yet?...

Nice! I got something called "The indie mixtape" where the only thing that looks interesting is the soundtrack You seem to be going to the older bundle, there is a "Fanatical Music Bundle by MAGIX" (expired) and a "Fanatical Music Bundle 2 by MAGIX" (current)

Afaik the ear training course has never been anywhere close to $99. This is "traditional ear training", examples of various intervals, chords, rhythms,etc. followed by practice drills/test. It's not a new learning method. About 30 years ago I used the MS-DOS programs "Ibis Play it by ear" and "Ibis Rhythm Ace" that used the same "example & drill" mechanics. It works, and your music listening skill will grow if you put in the time and effort, much like going to the gym. Rick Beato's version is conveniently online and has one of the most comprehensive sets of drills that I've seen (it's not finished yet but it already offers more than typical, less expensive programs). At $200+ it always felt too expensive but at $99 it is quite reasonable. After completing the course you should be able to recognize every note in a song, the same way as Rick Beato does in his "What makes this song great" videos

Also available at pluginboutique (after virtual cash & tokens it ends up at almost the same price as using BLACKWEEKEXTRA but it's a better deal if you are interested in any of the free gifts)

It shows up as available for me. You may want to check that you are not filtering out the "software" category https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fanatical-music-bundle-2-by-magix

I don't know how long for this one but Fanatical bundles tend to last several weeks (and they typically add a banner when they're close to expiration). My guess is that it will still be available in early December.

Loops and Fx https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/10000-royalty-free-music-and-sounds-bundle Tier 1 (3 products) $0.99 Tier 2 (10 products) $14.99 Tier 3 (20 products) $19.99

Windows 11 is here and I guess many of us are wondering if we want to jump in or wait. Microsoft is making available a demo that expires on 01/09/22 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ It's a VM, so it should be good for figuring out if our daws, plugins, etc. will work well, but it may not be that useful for finding out if we will hit hardware compatibility issues and problems with drivers. For reference, Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 release until October 14, 2025
