My favorite “cheap” ear plugs are Dubs. They’re comfortable, and they reduce the decibel level without reducing the quality of what you hear. https://getdubs.com. Source: over 1 year ago

They could be dubs. Back when I was regularly attending concerts I had these low-pass earplugs that are designed to reduce the hearing damage from stadium-grade speakers without impacting the sound quality (too much). Source: over 1 year ago

Https://getdubs.com/ Link is for what I have but doesn't look they are around anymore. I've had them for a while. I love those ones, but they are also the only I've ever tried so I won't claim any expertise. Source: almost 2 years ago

These are the DUBS I mentioned previously. They're pretty much invisible. I bought them many years ago from Amazon but today I get zero from the search results. So better order from their own website. Source: about 2 years ago

Mine were a gift from another musician I play with, so he got me pink ones. They're sold out on Amazon, and the website https://getdubs.com/ directs you to Amazon when you click on "shop now." There are lots of options, https://www.musicradar.com/news/best-earplugs-for-musicians has some popular ones. I know earasers is on that list and a lot of people like those.

Buy through splice.com its no interest or fees added and a I think about $8.99 US a month till you pay it off u get same things and updates till its paid off which takes a long time so a steal at the price you own it outright when paid off. Source: 7 months ago

I upgraded Cubase to 13, which essentialy adds 6 months to your rent but now I can't use Cubase at all. It says the license expired, and when I click "renew" in the Activation Manager it just brings me to splice.com which says that my license is active... Source: 7 months ago

Lastly, if you have exhausted your 60 day trial, and are in need of Pro, but can't spend at the moment, splice.com offers a rent-to-own plan for Cubase Pro. It is always at full price though and never goes on sale, so keep that in mind. Although, it's good to pay $17 for a couple months till the sale arrives, and then crossgrade to it. Will still be quite reasonable. Source: 11 months ago

I have no shame in saying I use splice , mainly cus of the sample clearance and convenience. Source: about 1 year ago

I like using Splice. They have tons of one shots and loops and it all drags-and-drops right into your DAW. You can probably get a free trial to get what you need, then cancel. Source: about 1 year ago
