How much money have you spent on plugins?

[Jac459]

After a 10 year break making music, I now have plugin GAS instead of hardware

Plug-in gas is terrible.

And FS items in KVR are terrible too.

Now I see u-he hive 2 is sold by somebody at 50usd. That's insane.

10K in ten years probably.

[ESMedia24]

Not much, as I came back to making music recently and back then I was not able to spend a lot. But this time I am planning to do my research, before buying plugins. Although I have to admit, that it is really hard to resist, when you are swamped with emails containing offers on Black Friday etc.

[FineAlly]

Far too much!

[TS-12]

Cubase and it's upgrade prices cost me more

[collider]

A lot.

[Ploki]

probably around 2-3k€

I do music and audio as my only living so they honestly paid for themselves a long time ago

[halcyon68]

In total probably...About 500€. But I got some of the money back by selling them...I usually try to sell plugins I never use / that are redundant, with a few exceptions.

The number might go up in the future, though, as I'm planning to add more sample libraries, which might add another 500€ or so.

Thanks mate! I just realised you responded to did this. I'm just getting the hang of forums. I never really used to participate in forums until KVR. But yeah KVR Buy/Sell for plugins has become my new hoby for better or worse.

If you haven't yet, buy avenger 2.... I think it is the best plugin money can buy today.

It hasn't been on my radar, but I'll definitely check it out now. I also recommend Moog Mariana, I can't believe how good it sounds!

Hello all. There are too many I want and not enough money. I've only spent, maybe $500. Trying not to go too deep in the rabbit hole lol.

[chk071]

I recently calculated that I spent about 800 € average per year for the last 3 years. So, considering that I started to seriously spend money on this hobby about 8 or 9 years ago, that would probably total to roughly 4.000 to 5.000 €.

Good thing I never got into hardware, because, with the demand I have, that would probably only be enough for 2 or 3 synths.

[Cavey Arrgh]

Less than my phone bill.*

*Since I got back into music, on a per month average

And this is with fairly bad GAS. For example, I just bought Model 82 without demo-ing (unusual for me), mostly because it was $19, and I have Modular. I thought it would be my go to for non-dirty house basslines, but I'm not super impressed. Probably due to user error and only testing the presets so far (which Softube does not excel at).

I don't even want to know
