The only newsletter for the best audio plugin deals around

📰 In This Weeks Newsletter

This week marks the release of u-he’s highly anticipated soft synth, Zebra 3. Disappointingly, there’s no introductory discount, it’s currently priced at $245. You can find more details here.

One thing that caught my attention, especially if you use the Soundbox sample engine, is an extremely limited release from Kompose Audio. Sparks 8 - Sentra will only be available to purchase for one day! This begins tomorrow! Find out more here.

A quick update before we get into some deals, we’ve just uploaded a new video to YouTube. In this video, Leonard takes a detailed look at XLN Audio’s latest plugin, DB-30 (aka Drum Butter). Check it out here.
