I remember getting some great software from some of those MacHeist heists. Now they just sell it.

The glory days…

Linea Sketch is currently free—not sure if it’s free to download with IAP or fully free, as I’ve already purchased it myself, but worth checking it out if you haven’t!

Just checked an it’s not fully free, there is still the IAP

Linea Sketch went to a free with subscription model when they released v3 as an upgrade to the existing app.

We used to call that freemium when I tied an onion to my belt, as was the style at the time…

Amazon and B&H both dropped by $50 the prices of select 2020 iPad Pro models.

For example, the 11" 256Gb WiFi-only model is now $849, down from $899. You can save additional $$ by either using the Amazon Prime Visa card (for 5% back in Amazon credit), or with B&H immediately getting back the state tax you’d pay, by using their Payboo store card.

I’ve got that model plus AppleCare+ ($129) in my Amazon cart right now, thinking hard about it - total cost with AppleCare, after 5% back (but with 8.25% tax) = around $1015

Follow-up: this deal apparently expires on May 10th.

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.
