Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx being part of inMusic? That was early May; now only NI remains at inMusic. 2026' mergers and acquisitions have come so fast, you practically need a reference to keep up. So... let's do just that. It's part of a larger pattern of ownership changes and layoffs across every part of the music instrument business.

Gotta be honest, I wasn’t expecting InMusic to flip iZotope so quickly

I’m somewhat glad that plugin alliance has just reverted to the original guys. Though I’m very slightly sad we’re going to have to deal with their crappy installer for the foreseeable future

    I’ve used BorisFX video products before and love them, they seem like a solid company I guess, it’s a subscription like everything else now. I’m not surprised they sold off iZotope, I think that there will be a lot of those sorts of auto/AI mastering, noise reduction, etc. effects in the near future that they are known for and although they were the first I dunno if they will win out
