For anyone who isn't aware, I haven't subscribed, but I've bought 2 past issues so far for the FREEBIE of the month and got IK's Black 76 and White 2A, both very decent plugins for like $5 each.  BUT, besides those, you get a pile of other decent plugins, loops, samples and virtual instruments, most of which I honestly haven't even gone through. But there are some real keepers in there!  It's a great deal! ;)

I agree with mibby.  Got the same two issues and one of them had a CM version of Mercuriall's U530 that, while limited in cab options, is one of the best ENGL emulations I've heard.  The three issues I bought added a bit of bloat to my download folder, but I just hand-picked the instruments and effects that interested me and I deleted the rest.  Thanks for posting, Larry.  This is a great deal.

 I done when my sub runs out.   If I really paid attention to the articles I would have a backlog from 2014.   I find myself rarely downloading anything free these days. I basically just read the reviews.  At one time I stopped subscribing before they went digital because I didn't have space for the script and DVDs.

 Some of their old 32 bit stuff was really interesting like their sampler.   Computer Muzys was a decent free DAW.

This is pretty much why I quit subscribing.  I've got WAY too much crap already, and I never bother to
read the articles because I can always find a YouTube video that has the answers I'm usually looking for
at no cost.

Just buying a single digital issue of CM gets you an amazing cornucopia of plug-ins, loops, and articles for under $5.

The lite version of Unfiltered Audio's G8 is excellent, so is the Meldaproduction CMHarmonizer, and the issue I bought was something like 3 years ago, so that's tons more content since then.

And yes, if one were to try to read the articles from just one issue, it would take a year, the articles are great and would no doubt advance the way I approach recording and mixing if I'd ever get around to reading them.

So buying the latest single  issue gives you access to all the freebies released to date? Or just a bunch of  freebies that don't contain   freebies of the month from previous  issues ?

Pretty much. The current library stands at 87 plugins. It includes nearly all the plugins to date apart from the ancient ones (mostly 32 bit only).

The one-off specials (eg commercial software given away free with a particular issue) are not included in the library.

The link posted above (CM Plugins) will give you a flavour of what's available, but it does include videos for some of the one-off giveaways. If a plugins is called "Product name CM", then it will be in the current library (except as noted above).

They're not giving access to the oldies anymore? When I did it, there was a folder kind of tucked away labeled 32 that had some older ones, not all of them 32 bit.

When I did it, I got access to all of the plug-ins and utilities that were custom made for CM. I didn't get access to things like Cakewalk Home Studio or Bitwig or whatever one-time giveaways came with only one single issue.
