A wonderful experience, no doubt!
Modartt regularly does 20% up to 30% off sales. There’s edu pricing at 40% off. But also, if you haven’t yet, you can add instruments when upgrading from Stage to Standard (which I really recommend) or Pro. Those upgrades go on sale as well.
If it’s your Tracktion download manager, head over to their website and re-enter your password. I had to do that recently (as they indicate as much) and all is fine since then.
Less than $15.
This just means all Plug & Mix plugins are free. Used to be $50 for the lot so that’s that. All other plugins are $15 or more, starting with the MasteringTheMix ones.
Better luck next time, I guess.
