April 2020 Sales and Hardware/Software Deals

Izotope is on sale again.
$29 for elements is great value if you’ve, I don’t know, found yourself working from home and doing recordings of yourself.

FYI Izotope is the company name and they sell numerous full-featured and Elements (lite verison) audio app versions. You linked to RX Elements, which I have and is excellent. (I owned an old version of the full featured RX app, but didn’t want to pay a couple hundred dollars to upgrade that version.)

FYI a different one of these apps, Izotope Ozone Elements (a lite version of Ozone) mastering software, which normally sells for $129, is available for free courtesy of Sweetwater Sound at this download link.

The suite version is not free. For the professional one, I don’t know the original price. It may be free since very beginning.

The free version doesn’t do much; “Pro” is $30:

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I tend to collect free/cheap utilities just in case I might need them eventually.

This one looks like it’ll be tossed back in the pond.

Cloud Outliner Pro for Mac now $3.99, down from $9.99 (Cloud Outliner for iOS is free, the syncable Pro iOS version is $0.99).

What do you think of this compared to other outliners?

It’s a very solid, basic outliner with iCloud-based sync, customized toolbar, and it never crashed on me… But it has no image/document attachments, no choice of font, and only light/dark (blue) modes. Saves in OMPL, PDF, HTML and its own format, and I’ve imported OPML outlines into it from other outliners.

For the price it’s really good, but its limitations are what they are.
