6. Get $100 Off ADAM Audio Monitors
Anyone who has heard me talk about monitors knows I’m a HUGE fan of ADAM Audio monitors, and have been for decades.
I still find their S series to be one of the best high end options on the market, and their A series to be one of the best options for serious project studios.
And when people ask me for my opinion on super affordable monitors? I’ve been recommending the ADAM T series as one of THE BEST options out there.
Right now you have a rare chance to get the T series for $50 off per monitor!! With how affordably these are priced to begin with, that’s up to a 25% discount.
Have you EVER heard of getting studio monitors for 25% off? That’s amazing in my book.
Check them out at: Sweetwater, B&H, Thomann, Amazon, Alto Music
7. Get Up to 50% Off Orchestral Libraries from Orchestral Tools
Orchestral Tools offers some of the most realistic and inspiring sounding instrument libraries available for strings, woodwinds, brass and complete orchestras.
If you want to capture the true sound of a real orchestra or ace string sections in your productions, it’s hard to find better realism than you will with collections such as the Berlin Series.
8. Up to 60% off Luncay Audio Cube
Have you heard of Lunacy Audio’s game-changing VST, called CUBE ? If you’re not familiar with it, you’ve got to check it out.
CUBE allows you to blend, morph and crossfade between up to 6 different sounds at once, opening up new dimensions in sound design and creative effects.
You can create your own libraries, or work with over 1,000 inspiring sounds and factory presets in a stunning 3D interface that explores beautiful cinematic pads, gritty bass pulses, intimate keys, wild analog synth textures, and much more.
This is not a typical synth or sampler. Instead, think of CUBE like a “3D Sound Blender”.
Producer Jake Morelli [Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Jonas Brothers] says it “Boosts your inspiration like a rocket.”
This is simply a must have if you do sound design or are into synthesis.
9. Get 25% to 50% off Relab Plugins
Relab has just come out with the first plugin emulation of one of my favorite master EQs ever: The Maselec MEA-2.
I used this hardware in mastering for YEARS, and this plugin version acts exactly like it. So much so that Maselec’s founder has endorsed this painstaking emulation.
Right now, you have one last chance to get special intro pricing on this new EQ.
Also on sale is their premier reverb, the Lexicon 480L.
It’s the legendary reverb seen sitting on the console of practically every world-class studio for the past 30+ years.
The original hardware still fetches around $5,000 a piece, easily! But if that’s a bit out of your budget range, then I have some REALLY good news…
Relab has developed the ONLY sample-accurate dual-engine plugin recreation of the original hardware.
For a limited time, Relab is knocking 50% OFF the price to celebrate the release of this new version.
10. Get Up to 75% off Sonnox Plugins
Some of the first plugins that ever made top-level audio engineers say “wow… I could really get into this whole digital thing!” were made by Sonnox.
To this day, they make some of the best mixing and mastering plugins out there, that are used every day by contemporary pros like Mick Guzauski [Daft Punk, Pharell Willians, Jamiroquai, Prince], Kevin Killen [U2, David Bowie, Shakira] and many more.
So many of the best producers and engineers I know are happy to pay full price for these ultra popular plugins…. Which is probably why they almost NEVER go on sale.
It’s also why you don’t want to miss this incredibly rare Sonnox plugin sale where you can knock up to a whopping 75% OFF the normal price of some of the most popular plugins ever made.
