Focusrite FAST Bundle Will Be FREE On June 28th (Sign Up Now)

By // Updated on News

Focusrite will provide the FAST Bundle and a discount on Alan Parson’s Fundamentals of Recording & Music Production course to everyone who registers and attends the Audio Masterclass with Alan Parsons and Julian Colbeck (scheduled for June 28th).

When I hear the name Alan Parsons, my mind immediately plays the vintage Chicago Bulls theme song, and I get an itch to shoot some hoops.

But he is responsible for so much more than composing that legendary track. Alan is a famous audio engineer and music producer who engineered Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, among many other albums.

Julian Colbeck is a professional keyboard player and author of several books related to music and music production. He worked with Alan to create the “Alan Parsons’ Art and Science of Sound Recording” course.

The duo is hosting the Audio Masterclass on Focusrite’s official YouTube Channel on June 28th. They will share various music production techniques and provide timely advice to music producers entering the industry this year.

If you register for the event and sign up for the Focusrite Group in Education email database, you will also receive Focusrite’s FAST Bundle for free. The offer also includes an exclusive discount for Alan Parson’s Fundamentals of Recording & Music Production course.

We all love free plugins here on BPB, so let’s look at the FAST Bundle in more detail.

The bundle contains five plugins: FAST Compressor, FAST Equaliser, FAST Reveal, FAST Verb, and FAST Limiter. The bundle typically costs $359.85, so getting it for free is quite a steal.

Some of the plugins, such as the FAST Compressor and FAST Verb, use AI to help you develop the best settings for your track as quickly as possible. We recently surveyed our readers about the use of AI in music production, and these plugins are an excellent example of where the industry seems to be headed.

You get a quick look at the five included plugins below.

My favorite two of the bunch are the FAST Limiter and FAST Equaliser. The AI-powered EQ is a godsend when working on a project that must be finished quickly.

I like using tools that help me get the best results quickly. Having access to an EQ plugin that provides a good starting point for the best equalization settings is quite valuable in these situations.

The FAST Limiter is equally useful. It makes it easy to get the right loudness level so that your exported track complies with the standards set by various streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

Learn more about the offer on the promo page linked below. After signing up, you will instantly receive a coupon code to get the Focusrite FAST Bundle for free.

UPDATE #1: The coupon code delivered by Focusrite currently isn’t working on their website. We will update the article as soon as this is fixed.

UPDATE #2: Focusrite is aware of the issue and is working on solving it. The code is expected to start working again by Tuesday morning (BST).

UPDATE #3: Focusrite stated that the FAST bundle will be offered for free on June 28th to everyone who signs up and attends the masterclass. The technical issues were caused by an unexpectedly high amount of traffic caused by this BPB coverage. Please read the full announcement below.

“Hi all,

Greg from Focusrite here – We were made aware of this blog post yesterday evening and as the comments section and the reach of the blog post itself continue to grow, I wanted to reach out to you all to apologize for the various problems you have encountered that have been reported in this thread.

The email regarding the Masterclass was initially sent to a limited group of our mailing list who meet certain criteria, so once this blog post was made, there was a much wider reach on the offer than we had originally planned for.

I’ll be honest; we did not anticipate such a huge amount of interest in the Masterclass offer due to the size of the aforementioned mailing list prior to this blog post.

We’ve spoken with various departments at Focusrite this morning about the promo and the unprecedented level of interest in it since this blog post was published and had to make the difficult decision of temporarily disabling the promo code in order to ensure that our Support Teams have sufficient bandwidth to look after our current Customers, so at present, the FAST Bundle offer will be up and running again once the webinar itself is running; 28th June 2023 at 12:00 pm PST / 3:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm BST.

If you haven’t already done so, please sign up for the webinar through the link below. You will then be able to access the FAST Bundle download once the webinar has started.

https://info.focusrite.com/en/audio_masterclass

Again, my apologies for any confusion caused regarding the code availability and subsequent delay in the code being eligible. This has not been a decision that has been made lightly, and I apologize if anybody was understandably eager to get their hands on the FAST Bundle plugins prior to 28th June 2023.

Best regards,

Greg Sheffield // Focusrite Novation Senior Customer Service Assistant”

      If someone did register previously conjuncted with Free Webinar you can’t get a unique code after webinar for that, as said to newer policy of Focusrite, and it is Strictly Enforced Geo-restriction

      “Please note: FAST Plugins are only available in the following countries:

      Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and USA.

      Please be advised, if you have previously used this email address to redeem the FAST Bundle for free in conjunction with this Alan Parsons webinar, you will not be eligible for an additional code. “

            I, and a lot of people in the comments of the stream, signed up at the point the link was posted in the chat and have not received anything. Many seem to say they used the same email on the page to sign up for the stream on focusrite’s website *after* it had changed from the initial message promising the plugins on sign up to the sign up and attend message. Have these email addresses been blacklisted or something for signing up for what seems to be an email reminder? Other people report using secondary emails and receiving a code using the link on the stream chat, what if people don’t have this option?

            Hello. I fit all the requisites to have received the plugins (good masterclass by the way) but haven’t. I live in Spain, and signed to the webinar through the link, then I checked my mail and didn’t receive any confirmation. I thought that was normal, then I started waiting for the day of the class, and when it arrived I realized that other people had received a confirmation email, so I signed again yesterday morning (morning from here) this time with my academic email instead of my personal email, I received the confirmation immediatly. Then I watched the masterclass as everyone, and used the link to the Bundle, I filled the form and then I forgot about it. Today I just checked my email, and in none of them is there any reference to the plugins. ¿Could it be because I used the personal account to watch the livestream? Or maybe because despite not receiving any confirmation I actually signed the first time? and then got banned for filling the form twice from the same PC?

          I know right… Focusrite should reconsider about it, they just like waves on steroids,

          manipulation is way beyond than I expect.

          There is alternative from plugin collective which is Ozone, they are paid but totally packed feats that is better than FAST Bundle, or even Plugin Alliance they are damn cheap when Mega Sale is happening.

          Plus free ones that aren’t disappointing, don’t forget MasterMe, it’s so good but CPU intensive sadly.

          btw I lived in Philippines, but the Geo-restriction is disappointing for 3rd or 2nd world though.

        Focusrite could have told us that only certain countries were elegible before we registered with them.
        I registered, and waited indefinitely for the email as promised on the 28th, but heard nothing, not the day after either.

        If it weren’t for these comments I wouldn’t have known what happened :-(

    I feel conflicted about all the AI tools.
    I don’t really like it to have a bot do the work for me. I know, it will be done 100% awesome and absolutley perfect as it should be but thats the point i don’t really like. The process of creating something is never about being perfect, its about personal taste and that weird influence of your mind going wild. I do often a lot of things when mastering that fits the current theme of the track i work on which is always different from all other tracks.

    Is art about being perfect?
    Now, the biggest problem with it comes over the time of using this, becoming comfortable using AI tools and no longer taking into account the little details that only happens when you actually create content. At one point a music artist, or what ever artist there is, will unlearn those little things. I really don’t like this.
    This is what makes me ME.

    I try to stay away from all those AI tools, my creation stays pure.
    idk, thought i should say that at least.

I tried almost all of them and it was only available in the US, UK, the EU and a few others– the funniest of all being them supporting software purchases in Italy, but not the Vatican city, LOL! Truly strange. Are we supposed to just choose US or one of these other countries anyways?

        I inquired with support and they got back to me quite quickly with a very kind explanation regarding this. So, sadly, there, indeed, is a list of countries/regions where their products are not available. Hopefully, in the future, they are able to consider expanding to include these countries, because they have really useful plugins.

    I haven’t even received an email. I’m guessing that now you actually need to be there at June 28th and watch the thing live to receive the coupon code. I’ve tried watching courses like these live before, and you always need to install a bunch of software to be able to join, and when you’ve installed the software it still doesn’t work. I don’t get why they don’t just use YouTube live, or something. It’s just a waste of time when 50% of the people who are registred can’t attend just because they are using some worthless useless and buggy software.

  79. Focusrite Should Hire Me

     on

    I’m very confused by the decision Focusrite made regarding this giveaway and promotion. Here’s my analysis as someone who currently works in the marketing/promotion field:

    1. How do you “not anticipate such a huge amount of interest in the Masterclass” from people when you’re doing a FREE TO JOIN masterclass where you give away $400 worth of normally paid plugins.

    Not sure if Focusrite has ever heard of the internet, but it’s a tool that can be used to spread information like an actual wildfire.

    2. Ok, so you panic and shut down servers to limit traffic to your site for the giveaway (similar to what Mastering the Mix did during their giveaway). Fine, no problem there. Goes against what was said in the email to people about being able to redeem the coupon all month, but I understand this response.

    3. You now plan to let users spread the word as much as possible for over 2 weeks, so that now everyone can hit your servers all at the exact same time during the livestream. Really excited to see how your servers handle that!

    So basically 3 weeks of heavy traffic to your site will now be condensed into a 2 hour block where everyone scrambles to get the free plugins, all during an important livestream? I have to hope the stream isn’t dependent on the same server resources as the website’s purchase portal. Or maybe you’ve already started ramping up your server capacity for the livestream, which would be ideal if not completely necessary in this case.

    Why wouldn’t you do a set number of licenses to be redeemed daily like what Mastering the Mix did? It would be first come first serve, with a known amount of strain of your website, spread throughout the month.

    This worked very well for them in the end. Mind you, their giveaway product was significantly less desirable than what you are offering, so a set number of coupon redemptions would be an even better idea than letting everyone hit you all and once.

    Hey Focusrite, if you need any help on your marketing team feel free to reach out to me. I’d love to help you better assess situations like this in the future.

    Sometimes it just takes that one extra person to think a bit more critically about a marketing decision, and they can help stop it from blowing up in your face.

    All the best!

      Just to avoid confusion, the Mastering the Mix giveaway was organized by BPB and MTM so we worked on it together and tried to solve the server issues while the giveaway was running. The Focusrite giveaway is completely independent from BPB, we only shared it in the news section.

        Ahhh interesting. Well good job handling the Mastering the Mix giveaway! I think Focusrite could learn something from that situation.

        All sarcasm aside, I’m very curious to see how this works out for Focusrite. I’m interested to see if they’ll be true to their word and if the website can handle the traffic that will inevitably be growing over the next 2 weeks.

          *just a correction

          I misspoke and said “shut down servers to limit traffic” but I meant “turn off coupons to limit website traffic”

    Why would they schedule this at lunch time on a Wednesday? Looks like I’m going to have to do my best to align my lunch break and miss most of it.

    Focusrite should do this giveaway just like Mastering the Mix did with BPD:

    They gave away a batch of licenses daily, for a couple of days.

    Now the livestream and website will probably get hammered even harder on 28th June……

    Hi there,

    I signed up late and didn’t receive the code at all.
    Will we receive it during the webinar?

    Thanks

      That’s the general concept. Plenty of people waiting here I suppose. Plus I would even risk the assumption that Focusrite’s reputation is at stake. I guess they will not only make it available during the seminar but long after. Otherwise like someone already mentioned earlier in this topic, they will have major server overload problem, which was only postponed by their decision.

    Funny how the email sent after signing up changed. I signed up shortly after this being posted and the initial email did say “visit below, buy now and use code”. Being confused with this whole promo, i signed up again to make sure i get the plugins romorrow, and now it says “join as live to get access”. But the livestream will be on youtube, so will they just put it in the chat or something? Lol
    Such a mess overall

    They are putting this link in the stream comments: https://info.focusrite.com/ap-fast

    I think we need to register again to be able to get the bundle. Hurry up because people from focusrite said that it will only be available during the stream, so we have like 30 minutes left.

    I outside the list of countries but I will try to redeem using a VPN and I will comeback here to tell the results.

    Focusrite during webinar: “​Get the Focusrite FAST plug-in bundle for free by signing up here: https://info.focusrite.com/ap-fast Available during this live stream only!”

    Focusrite note in the website: “Please note: FAST Plugins are only available in the following countries:
    Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and USA.
    Please be advised, if you have previously used this email address to redeem the FAST Bundle for free in conjunction with this Alan Parsons webinar, you will not be eligible for an additional code. If you understand and agree to the above, please click the box, and submit below.”

    Me: “@Focusrite Pro “FAST Plugins are only available in the following countries:(…)” Brazil is not listed. Is that means redeem code will not work for Brazil?”

    Focusrite: “FAST codes can only be redeemed in the countries listed on the landing page.

    Me: “@Focusrite Pro Focusrite never told country restriction to redeem code. You attract people from several countries and only now informing that the license will be restricted? This is very dishonest.”

    Focusrite: “@Rafael Oliveira the invites were for people to come and enjoy the webinar. The stream is available worldwide.”

    Me: “@Focusrite Pro It is you:”(…)please sign up for the webinar through the link below. You will then be able to access the FAST Bundle download once the webinar has started.” No country restrictions!”

    THEN I WAS BLOCKED BY FOCUSRITE.

    The politics of “certain countries” just seems rude to me… ohhh what a coincidence, Latin America is excluded, they are poor, “we will give the plugins to people from the first world.” They do need it more than us for free!

    Thanks a ton to BPB for awaring me, Focusrite, Alan and Julian for both the plugins and great stream. I’ll be applying a lot of what I learned, especially when it comes to learning itself, and not just taking one persons answer as the holy grail.

        Can some that received the email and ‘code’ please outline a successful version of the steps:
        Ex:
        Registered email during master class
        Received email with code to (download or activate) plugins
        Installed vest’s and activated?
        Or maybe BPB can identify the path to success.

          -Attend livestream
          -Click new link they gave out during stream
          -Register email on new link page during stream to redeem unique 100% discount code
          -Wait up to 24 hours for unique 100% discount code to be sent out after the stream ends

          If you didn’t redeem your unique code during the livestream, you’re likely not getting it.

          They probably had 10s of 1000s of scalpers sign up after BPB/telegram/discord/reddit put up the original post, all ready to grab the bundle and dump keys on knobcloud..

          It’s understandable why they had to switch it up. I’m pretty sure the original offer was only intended for a small internal group of people, but the masterclass got leaked, and blew up into this mess.

          Alot of people seem disappointed or outright angry, but they made the best of a bad situation..

    If I could I would pay for the courses by the industry professionals, just for the networking and mentorship opportunities. I spent so many years learning production and mixing online, yet I have no recording knowledge. At this point, I’m like… just give me the formulas.

    Yes I got my code! The webinar was pretty interesting so I’m glad I attended. This is a very useful bundle too, not only does it use AI to config the FX, you can show the settings it picked and adjust further as needed. This is very helpful to get quickly in the ballpark then fine tune afterwards.

    The occurrences related to countries is probably why Fast Bundle is not available for many locations. I discovered this on the live today and I was in doubt, even after completing the registration will I receive the code? Seems a bit disrespectful to me if not.

      I’m pretty sure the “presets” in each app refers to user presets that you edit, save and name yourself. I tested it and if you create and save a user preset, your list of presets shows up there. Mine did

    TOMISLAV ZLATIC, are you in contact with Focursite? Many of my friends and I have not received the code, while others have. I have noticed that those who registered before the event have not received anything, even after completing the second registration during the live session. I hope this is just a delay; otherwise, it would be a huge disappointment and a mockery! Focursite has not provided any information, and it would be a shame on their part.

    Since I got my code and therefore the bundle here is a clarification.
    During the masterclass which was live on Youtube for everyone to see, a link was pinned in the chat.
    Through this link, everyone could sign up again for the bundle. A few hours after the Stream then the codes to unlock the bundle were sent.

    So if you didn’t watch the masterclass and didn’t sign up for the bundle via the link during the broadcast, you won’t get a code for the bundle.

    To participate in the Masterclass at least for a short time or to be there was the least operation. With just over 1000 people during the livestream wanting a bundle worth over $300 for free, I find it completely understandable how Focusrite handled it in the end.

        Yes those who missed the livestream and didn’t sign up through the link during the broadcast not receiving the code would be somewhat understandable.

        However, it appears that many people, including myself, who *did* fill out the form during the broadcast and watched the broadcast from start to finish has yet to receive the code as well.

    Very disappointed with the Focusrite Group, the announced before the event “If you register for the event and sign up for the Focusrite Group in Education email database, you will also receive Focusrite’s FAST Bundle for free.” and “When you join us live, you will be given access to Focusrite’s FAST Bundle of powerful AI plugins, including FAST Compressor, FAST Equaliser, FAST Reveal, FAST Verb and FAST Limiter, 100% free!” was a LIE. In the end the availability of Fast Bundle was limited to a few countries in Europe and the United States, excluding many subscribers. Thank you Focusrite Group for making us a clown.

      Many people IN eligible countries haven’t gotten the code either!

      All in all, yes, very disappointed with Focusrite group. If you say you’re gonna do something, you should do that something.

      (P.s. if you end up getting the code anyways, using a VPN you should be able to do the purchase on Focusrite’s website. I love how they excluded 2nd and 3rd world countries for a free plugin bundle)

    I just received my code and got Fast Bundle for free. And from what I have observed limitation for country origin is only possible if you make your payment. And if you apply your unique code the price will be zero and then just complete your order. I am from India and I didn’t have any problem though.

    Thanks BPB. Got it mine, registered in OpenCollective, but it’s something weird. In focusritegroup portal doesn’t show up in my account, and there fore the activation of the plugins doesn’t work. It appears in open collective account as “owned”, but not on focusritegroup portal, and the plugins are stuck into “You’re in demo mode. Buy full version / Continue Demo”. There is something weird going on…

      Login to you account and add the plugin suite to your account. Load one of the Fast plugins into your DAW. Open the plugin and click on it’s “settings” gear. When you get the option to get activation code. Get the activation code and go back to your DAW and past it into the plugins activation screen. The you should be all set with all of the other plugins too. It a pretty smooth process. I did it twice yesterday
