Are Audio Software Subscriptions Worth It?!

Show Notes

The Internet of things has meant an explosion of opportunity for composers, but with that companies have started to think of new ways of doing business and a new business model: software subscription services. Is this really all that bad? Plus, we listen to a cute, "silly" chiptune cue from 52 Cues community member, John Chambers!
