📰 In This Weeks Newsletter

To start things off, it’s worth addressing the latest news surrounding Native Instruments. There’s been a lot of speculation and clickbait lately, so let’s stick to the facts: Native Instruments GmbH has entered a restructuring process in Germany. The company has released an official statement which you can read here.

The important takeaway is that all Native Instruments products remain fully operational and continue to receive full support, including products from their other brands such as iZotope. This news shouldn’t affect your workflow or your creativity (which we need now more than ever!).

On the bright side, there are so many fantastic new products being released right now, and we’re excited to help you discover the tools that spark your next creative moment.

In other news, we uploaded a new video to out Youtube channel, where Leonard compares Waves latest release - Curves Resolve to their other spectral Processor Curves Equator. Check it out here! Consider subscribing and dropping a comment to suggest plugins you would like to see on the channel. Lets get to some deals!!
