Stop paying full price for your VSTs [083] 🎵🎶🎵

Before you pay full price for another plugin, take a look at Knobcloud - a marketplace for used audio software licenses with PayPal Buyer Protection

Hey,

If you make music for long enough, you run into the same tension sooner or later: the list of plugins you want keeps expanding, but the budget does not.

That is exactly why Knobcloud is useful.

It is a marketplace built specifically for audio software licenses. For producers, it works a bit like a digital flea market. Instead of paying full retail, you can often buy used licenses at a much lower price.

A few reasons I actually use it:

• Less paperwork: Knobcloud has a large database of developers and their transfer requirements. In many cases, that information is filled in for you, which saves you from chasing it down yourself. Knobcloud says those details can sometimes change, so it is still smart to double-check before you buy.

• Actually secure: Everything goes through PayPal. I’m usually skeptical about buying stuff from strangers online, but sticking to PayPal’s buyer protection takes the risk out of it.

• More transparency: You can review seller feedback before you buy. That makes it easier to tell who has a solid track record before you send any money.

The process is simple: you buy the license, send over the details needed for the transfer, and the seller handles the handoff through the developer. In most cases, it takes less than a week. Knobcloud presents that as the usual timeline, though the exact speed depends on the seller and the developer.

It is also a practical way to clear out your own digital attic. If you have plugins you have not opened in years, you can list them and turn old software into cash for something you will actually use.

Anyway, if you are trying to stretch your studio budget this year, Knobcloud is well worth a look. Just make sure you pay with full PayPal Buyer Protection and never through a private Friends and Family transfer.

Best,
Marcus
