Introducing “Sharing Spotlight” – Play It Forward
Music is built by people, and we believe in organizations that nurture communities and champion creative talent where it’s needed most.
Sharing Spotlight is an initiative designed to highlight and support music-related communities through bundles curated by them and available on Plugin Boutique. When you purchase through a unique link, a portion of each sale goes directly towards supporting our featured community at no extra cost to you.
We believe the tools we use to make music can do more than inspire creativity: they can help support the communities that make that creativity possible. So whether you’re looking for your next synth, mixing tool, creative effect, or production essential, you can make your purchase go a little further.
Plugins for you. Support for them. Music for everyone.
