I already own plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite. How does this benefit me?
If you already have perpetual licenses for some of the plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite, you might already have perpetual access to one or more Flows - depending on what plug-ins you own.
To get access to Flow® Mastering Suite plug-in and the Flows that you own, please sign up for a free trial of the Flow subscription. This gives you access to the Flow® Mastering Suite plug-in that you can use perpetually, using the Flows for which you own all the plug-ins that the Flow is made up of.
If you choose to become a paying subscriber, each month you will gain credits that can be used towards purchasing perpetual licenses of the plug-ins you don’t already own, getting you closer to owning more Flows.
I already own all the plug-ins included in the Flow® Mastering Suite. Do I still need to pay for a subscription?
If you already own all plug-ins included in Flow® you don't need to pay for Flow®. All you need to do is to sign up for a free trial and then cancel the subscription before the 14 day trial period ends, from "My Subscription" tab in the "My Account" page, after signing in.
What is included when subscribing to Flow® Mastering Suite?
- The Flow® Mastering Suite plug-in.
- A collection of unique signal chain Flows built by mastering professionals.
- 16 high-end mastering plug-ins available in Flow® Mastering Suite and as separate VST/AU/AAX plug-ins.
- Credits you can use to buy the plug-ins perpetually.
Can I use the plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite separately as VST/AU/AAX plug-ins?
Yes. The included plug-ins will show up in your DAW as separate plug-ins after installing Flow® Mastering Suite.
Can I buy Flow® Mastering Suite perpetually or run it without an active subscription?
The easiest way to get all the value from Flow® Mastering Suite is to subscribe. However, if you already own plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite, you can run the Flows that use those plug-ins. You get access to the Flow® Mastering Suite plug-in by starting a subscription, and the Flows for which you own all the plug-ins will still work even after canceling the subscription.
I own Console 1, how does Console 1 relate to Flow® Mastering Suite?
Flow® Mastering Suite cannot be controlled by Console 1. However, all the included plug-ins can be loaded within the Console 1 Mixing System to build custom channel strips.
How does Flow® Mastering Credits work?
Flow® Mastering Suite uses what we call a Subscribe-to-own model. This model is better than your usual subscription and is different from a rent-to-own plan. Each month of paid subscription you are awarded 30 Flow® Mastering Suite credits. These can be used to gain perpetual ownership over plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite.
Why is it better than a subscription?
If you cancel a normal subscription, you instantly lose access to the products included in said subscription. Flow® Mastering Suite Subscribe-to-own is different. For each month you subscribe to Flow®, you earn credits that can be used to purchase perpetual licenses of the products included in your Flow® subscription. You can cancel anytime and, if you have saved up enough credits, you can use them to purchase perpetual licenses of the plugins included in Flow® Mastering Suite and continue using them in your productions. If you have purchased all the plugins that make up a Flow, you now own those products perpetually and if you decide to cancel your Flow subscription, you can still use that particular Flow within the Flow® plugin, since you now own all plugins perpetually.
Do I keep my credits if I cancel my subscription and sign up again?
Yes! Your credits are saved if you choose to cancel your subscription. If you choose to sign up for Flow again at a later date, you'll keep on earning credits on top of the ones you already have.
What’s the difference to a rent-to-own plan?
Flow® is not a payment installment plan where you set out to pay monthly towards an end sum and then you own the product. Flow® Mastering Suite is a living platform and we might add new Flows that use new plug-ins that we may eventually release. An active Flow Mastering Suite subscriber will instantly get access to new Flows and plug-ins added to the plan.
What payment methods are there?
We accept credit cards and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and American Express).
