I know many hate subscriptions, but which one's do you feel your getting your moneys worth. Izotope, Slate, SSL etc.

IMO, the only good subscription is no subscription.

Amazon Prime.

For audio...Patchpool for Kaleidoscope content but it seems all over now sadly.
Otherwise Netflix followed by Disney+ and maybe i also will stay with Apple TV+ after my one year free :D

Adobe is the only software subscription I have, and that’s paid for by our photography side gig. I don’t see any benefit for myself in paying a subscription fee to use plugins. As for SSL, their plugins go on sale for dirt cheap pretty regularly, so I don’t understand their sales/subscription model at all.
Logic Pro | LUNA Pro | OB-X8 | Prophet 6 | OB-6 | Rev2 | TEO-5 | Pro 3 | SE-1X | Minitaur | Deepmind 12D | Integra-7 | TR-1000 | Analog RYTM mk2 | Digitakt 2 | TD-3 MO | TD-3 | Maschine+

For audio software, I definitely wouldn't want a subscription either. Just not worth it, if you maybe do this stuff every 2 weeks or something.

The only one I had was Roland Cloud but I recently cancelled it. It was ok except sometimes the RCM would act up a bit.

Post

Netflix and Spotify.

For plugins where I use the same ones year after year, paying endlessly makes no sense.
Take a single oscillator, producing a drone. Send it to the wave shaper, altering the tone.
This can be a triangle, Sawtooth or a square. Modulate the pulse width, nobody will care

I would say khs but unfortunately you can't stack the coupons you accumulate when khs is on sale.

Limiting this to music subs...Roland Cloud has a lot of instruments, but frankly, there's better stuff out there IMO. Particularly when it comes to analog models. But if you were just starting out, I could see someone getting a decent amount of mileage out of that.

When it comes to FX, I'm probably biased, but I think just about everything Kush puts out is excellent. At least for compressors, EQs, and saturators. And they regularly release new plugins and keep things up to date. Plugin Alliance also has a huge catalog. Sure, you can buy most of their plugins for less than $30 if you just wait, but again, if just starting out, there's a lot there (not as consistently great as Kush though covers a lot more ground).

I should say XBox Game Pass is a great value.
Weapons of choice (subject to change):
Godin Redline, Kuassa, Fuse Audio, Audiority, Roland A-500pro, Dune, Dagger, TAL, Reaper for Rock & Synthwave pleasures; Viper and FL Studio for guilty EDM pleasures
