Back when I started making music there was no such thing as plugin rentals or lease-to-own! Now the landscape has shifted a lot making plugins more easily accessible by reducing the prohibitive price barrier! Still, not all of these month-to-month options are created equal! In this episode, I break down where and what the best options are!

In this episode:

• A brief history of plugin pricing!
• The differences between licensing, renting, and rent-to-own!
• The best plugins in each model!

Links to things discussed in this episode:

• The best flat fee plugin vendors: Native Instruments, Waves, Universal Audio, Fab Filter, Valhalla
• The best plugin subscriptions: Arcade by Output, Slate Digital All Access
• The best rent-to-own options on Splice: Xfer Records, Izotope, Arturia
