Zinio have a bunch of free magazine subscriptions on their site right now. You can get a free 3-issue one for Computer Music in there.

https://www.zinio.com/gb/campaign/2020- ... 20.banners

Auto-renew is turned on for new subscriptions so go into your account settings and turn it off if you don't want to be charged later.

I have Computer Music in the cart.
Cannot find other freebies.
Coincidentally my CM subscription just ended so the three issues to be free is very welcome.
Thanks for sharing.

Edit: StereoPhile got 2 issues for free

Edit: Went to check out and now they want me to pay.
Oh well. The deal must have timed out.

Deal is still going 6:17 PDT...go to home page , wait for the revolving banner to show the free mag promotion and click on it. Was hard for me to find otherwise

Aside from Computer Music, any other magazines in the free subscription offer that come with (good) free audio software or samples?...

Got $0 for Computer Music Mag but will not let me "complete purchase"
Is a code required?

No code required.

But you do need to enter payment information.

Also, apparently you have to disable auto-renew for each magazine individually.

I had clicked on Paypal!
Oh, Also needed to click below the PayPal button.
All ok now.

Thanks

UVI Drum Designer is 40% off at €89 which you can lower to €69 if you haven't spent their SPRING coupon yet*.


* I'm assuming as I'd already spent mine, but I didn't see any exemptions.

SPRING coupon was only valid until March 30

My apologies, they still had it in their scrolling ad header when I visited the site earlier (not there now).

Hi!
Please, wonder if someone is so kind to tell me how I can demo Drum Designer? Can't find it in the website

[Gamma-UT]

There's no demo.

[UnbalancedBeats]

There's no demo.

Thanks!

Oh, sorry, maybe I misunderstood the deal. I thought it was like previous Plugin Collective promotions where the plugins timed out at the end of the promotion periods.

I've never had a plugin time out at the end of the promotion period. It was just not available any more as a freebie.

Edit: Oh, I forgot about Sonarworks. But I already owned that.

Do you generally have to register them with the vendors during the promotional period?
I tend to copy the coupon codes/serial numbers and not get around to using them.
I have a few now that I've never used and they are no longer showing in my account.

Some expire but I think most can be used at a later date. If it's something you don't want to risk losing, best to activate it before the promo ends.

codes make me nervous, I usually register them ASAP. An exception was a couple of codes that I bought for resale, and the whole thing stressed me a lot, ha!

Am I the only one who feels cheated by the plugin alliance deals?
I was not familiar with their akward deals policy when I realised I just missed an insane deal beginning of March and another deal 2 weeks later by just 30 Minutes. So I decided to buy to of their plugins to a so called "sales price" just to realise that they started another insane deal the next morning (just about 2 weeks after their last deal ended). I kindly asked their support if they could consider an extra voucher for me as I felt some "grace period" offer would be nice. Didn´t get any response though.So I decided (not with a very good feeling) to buy some plugins (the quality is outstanding I must admit) yesterday evening before the deadline is over. Just to realise that they decided to prolong the deadline and offer an additional discount.

I wouldn´t argue about the quality of their plugins (therefore I bought them) but the deal policy is not what I expect from a serious company. It´s a good reason not to buy anything from them in the near future as you feel cheated when you buy something at normal price or even discounted when they offer another discount just a few days later. Therefore my advice: When you want to buy something from plugin alliance wait for the latest moment or even longer.......

no I don't feel cheated at all. When I bought things from them it was what a was willing to pay at the time. When it got cheaper I did not start a thread about how horrible they are.
