> Music producers revolted against an app’s subscription scheme — and won
Actual Music producers hate subscription schemes.
- agloe_dreams 3y agoYes, but one of these was a plugin for $25/mo and the other is the whole damn tool to do your job for $5 a month on a device you couldn't run it on in the past. I expect it to not actually be bashed.
- archerx 3y agoAt first I was excited to see Logic pro on the Ipad but as soon as I saw subscription my excitement instantly died. I'll just stick with Garageband on the Ipad for my basic music needs. Same thing happened with Adobe, I was a die hard Premiere pro fan and now I haven't used it in years since I moved to Davinci Resolve all because Adobe went all in on subs.
- kstrauser 3y ago$5/mo is waaaayyyy less than I’ve paid for Ableton Live on average. It’s not in quite the same space as Logic Pro, but you can credibly lump them in as “professional music production software”.
- mejutoco 3y agoWhat happens when the subscription increases in price and your workflow depends on it?
- scarface74 3y agoYes and Photoshop users revolted against subscriptions. How long did that last?
- rocketbop 3y agoI guess there isn't really a good alternative to Photoshop, so in the end everyone had to accept the subscription model. There are at least 10 viable DAWs on Mac, so people can move away if necessary and go to Cubase, Live, or something else.
