Baby Audio’s Plugin Collection Plan: New Sub + Perpetual Licenses

Baby Audio and Denise Audio’s new Plugin Collection Plan is an interesting addition to the growing world of subscription-based audio software. At $14.99 per month, it offers access to their entire plugin catalogs, including future releases, along with the ability to collect perpetual licenses over time. While this model provides flexibility and affordability, it’s important to note that Baby Audio will continue selling regular permanent licenses for their plugins. The plan is an additional option for those who prefer a subscription-based approach.

The Benefits of the Plugin Collection Plan

The Plugin Collection Plan is a strong offering for producers looking to explore premium tools without committing to large upfront costs. Subscribers gain access to Baby Audio’s innovative plugins like Transit (now at version 2), Spaced Out, and Crystalline, as well as Denise Audio’s Motion Filter and other creative tools. For example:

• Transit: Baby Audio’s multi-effect plugin has been updated to version 2, building on the features highlighted in our Transit review. It simplifies complex transitions and modulation effects, making it a favorite among electronic music producers.
• Motion Filter: Denise Audio’s dynamic filter plugin, praised in our Motion Filter review, adds life and movement to static sounds with its Sweeper and LFO modulation modes.
• TAIP: Baby Audio’s AI-powered tape emulation plugin delivers authentic analog warmth, as detailed in our TAIP review.

Subscribers also have the opportunity to collect one perpetual license every six months, allowing them to permanently own plugins even after unsubscribing. This hybrid model addresses one of the common criticisms of subscription services by offering a sense of ownership.

Flexibility and Future-Proofing

The plan includes access to all future releases from both Baby Audio and Denise Audio, ensuring subscribers always have the latest tools at no additional cost. Furthermore, subscribers can use the plugins on two devices simultaneously and manage activations easily via an online dashboard.

For those hesitant about committing right away, free trial versions of all Baby Audio plugins are available for download at their trial page. These trials allow users to test the plugins thoroughly before subscribing or purchasing.

The Subscription Model Debate

While the Plugin Collection Plan is thoughtfully designed, it’s worth acknowledging the growing concern around subscription fatigue in the audio software industry. With so many companies adopting subscription models, users are increasingly overwhelmed by recurring payments. For music producers especially, subscriptions can feel less justified during periods of downtime when plugins aren’t actively being used.

However, Baby Audio has taken steps to address these concerns by continuing to offer regular permanent licenses for their plugins. This ensures that users who prefer outright ownership can still purchase individual plugins without subscribing. The Plugin Collection Plan is simply an additional option for those who value flexibility and access over upfront investment.

Final Thoughts

Plugin Collection Plan is an attractive choice for producers who want affordable access to a wide range of professional-grade plugins while gradually building a permanent collection through perpetual licenses. By continuing to sell regular licenses alongside this new plan, Baby Audio ensures that all types of users—whether they prefer subscriptions or traditional purchases—are accommodated.
TIP: if you can afford spending more money upfront, I definitely recommend getting the Baby Audio Complete Bundle!
