Holiday deals are back in action for the 2019 holiday Season. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, Chanukkah, Boxing Day, New Years, and all the rest are great times to pick up gifts for those you love, and the ones you love the most, yourself. Discounts are all around us, and every year at BuildThatBeat we scour the web to find the best deals on software and gear for the producers in your life. So, as we’ve done year, after year, after year, it’s time once again for the best music production deals of the season.
In keeping with tradition, if you’ve been using software from “a friend,” this would be a great opportunity to purchase for yourself at great discounts. It supports the industry, and supports people hard at work trying to make some money from a hobby we all love.
Since the holiday season is a long one, please keep checking back. This list will continue to update throughout November/December as deals are constantly changing. If we miss anything amazing, please let us know in the comments below and we’ll be sure to add it in!
DAWs:
A little disappointing but we have yet to see any big DAWs on sale this year for black friday/cyber monday. Historically, Ableton live had a minor discount (around 20-25%), Image-Line (Fruity Loops) had some money off as well. Even Reaper (as inexpensive as it is) has thrown a deal or two out there during the holidays. We’ll continue to keep an eye out, but we don’t have our hopes up. HOWEVER, we’ll keep looking, please send us any deals and we’ll add them to the list!
