Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any current deals on Computer Music digital subscriptions? Mine on Zinio just ran out, and it looks like it would cost about $35 to renew - just curious if anyone has seen it for less recently.

Thanks!

Zinio had 50% off yearly CM subscriptions about a month and a half ago. I'm guessing there will be a sale of some sort in the next few weeks with back-to-school season.

If you're just interested in checking out the latest issue, you can get a free 30 day subscription through iTunes or Google Play. I believe you need a credit/debit card for this (prepaid should work) and you will be billed if you do not cancel within 30 days.

But you can also start a subscription when there's a sale and the CM software Vault will be waiting for you, full of goodies of past issues.
You can get a subscription at $1 per issue sometimes.

Is there anything good in that air bundle? or what is the best stuff in it?

[Fleer]

Hybrid, Loom and Vacuum Pro. But I also love the sound of Velvet, a sweet Rhodes. And then there's Strike for drums and Structure, a 40 gig sample behemoth. Plus lots of other stuff.

Just wait till they offer a better deal. BTW I think Zinio has the best digital subscription format.

PayPal would be nice though

Are all the air instruments sampled based? I dunno I just remember people saying the quality of air is low. I recently bought kontakt ultimate, arturia collection, and uvi vintage vault. If anything I was thinking of picking up synthmaster since its on sale. lol. So should I get synthmaster or this air collection?

[autodafe]

personally I really Love LOOM and Hybrid, Whoch are not sample-based, but that's just my guess...

Synthmaster is a whole other animal indeed, much deeper in synthesis. But that wouldn't keep me from the AIR ones.

Agreed. You're comparing apples and oranges. XPand!2 is quite a piece of kit and I bought the upgrade just based on that. If you're not familiar with it, spend a $1 and try it out. If you like it, get the upgrade. You've got a couple of weeks to figure out if it's for you.

Synthmaster, on the other hand, is just a beast of a synth. All the sounds really are in there. Most impressive to me is that I can get a very convincing B3 out of it--complete with Leslie on the mod wheel. I've never owned a synth that could come close to this.

Sounds noice, Berfab, which preset did you use? Or was it entirely "handmade"?

OTOH, there's a free PSP Delay coming up in the next CM issue (on sale 7 September).
