Okay, that's Prime Day done for another year. We've had 48 hours of mega savings, with discounts on everything you need to make music. Now the Prime Day sale may officially be over, but you can rest assured that a lot of yesterday's best deals are still going strong. 

If you want to get straight to today's best bargains, some of the coolest discounts are happening with home studio gear. Amazon knocked a sizeable $80 off our favourite affordable audio interface, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (4th Gen). 

Elsewhere, you'll find sizeable discounts on a range of guitars over at Fender, and there's still time to grab up to 65% off in Sweetwater's outstanding flash sale - but be quick, it's ending soon.

Editor's picks

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen: $249.99, $169.99

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen: $249.99, $169.99
Currently ranked as our top audio interface for producers, podcasters, and other creators, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen combines super clean preamps with a huge range of features to make it one of the best and easiest-to-use interfaces around. It’s only been relatively recently released, so this is amongst the best discounts we’ve seen on Focusrite’s powerful red box.

Apple MacBook Pro M2: Was $2,499, now $1,929.99

Apple MacBook Pro M2: Was $2,499, now $1,929.99
12-core CPU/19-core GPU/16GB unified memory/1TB SSD/14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display

For me, the MacBook Pro M2 is the perfect music-making machine. It’s got a huge amount of power under its hood for running countless plugins and VSTs, but retains a portability that allows you to mix on the go, or take it on mobile recording sessions. It’s cheaper than the new M3 model, which for me is overkill for music production, and has plenty of connectivity which means you don’t have to buy a pricey Thunderbolt hub to get the most out of it when integrating in a more permanent setup.

The distinctive gold ribbon tweeter gives you a wide sweet spot for listening, making them great for less-than-perfect home studio setups.

Amazon device deals

With Prime Day being an Amazon invention, naturally it's the time to make big savings on Amazon's own products. So, if you're looking to upgrade your Echo speakers, boost home security with a Ring video doorbell, or detox from your phone with a Kindle, Amazon devices get plenty of discounts for Prime Day. We'd recommend waiting, until the event itself, but here's a rundown of the latest prices so you know if you're getting a genuine bargain when the time comes. 

Last year Amazon was also giving away smart speaker bundles that included free subscriptions to their Music Unlimited streaming service. Keep your eyes peeled for those.

Amazon Prime Day FAQs

When is Prime Day 2024?

Prime Day has traditionally always taken place in July and this year is no exception. Prime Day 2024 has officially been confirmed as taking place on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17  July. 

We're expecting Amazon to deliver well in excess of 1 million deals over that 48-hour period.

For more information you can also check out Amazon's own Prime Day hub page.

Do you need an Amazon Prime membership to shop on Prime Day?

To take advantage of the Prime Day music deals on Amazon itself, the answer is yes. If you’ve never been a Prime member before, Amazon usually offers free trials (right there's a 30-day free trial up for grabs) and you can cancel your subscription at any time, so if you're feeling tactical, you could sign up now, pick up some bargains on Prime Day, then cancel your subscription within that 30-day window. Winner.

That said, if you’re a regular Amazon shopper you might want to keep hold of that subscription, as Prime members get faster delivery, exclusive deals, access to Prime Music, Prime Video and many more perks.

If you've already had a free trial, at the time of writing, a monthly Amazon Prime subscription costs $14.99/£7.99 (which you can cancel at any time) and a yearly option is $139/£79.

There's also a student plan that currently costs $7.49/£3.99 per month or $69/£39 per year.

What kind of Prime Day music deals does Amazon offer?

Amazon is certainly no slouch when it comes to music gear, but it's important to know that not every brand takes part in the Prime Day discounting. In our experience, if you're looking for money off the following brands - with a particular focus on beginner and budget gear - Prime Day on Amazon is usually a good time to shop.

  • Alesis
  • Apple (for MacBooks and iPads)
  • Audio-Technica
  • Blue Mics
  • D'Addario
  • Donner
  • Elixir
  • Fender
  • Positive Grid
  • PreSonus
  • Roland
  • Shure

We’d certainly recommend bookmarking this page and checking in regularly during the event – we’ll be sharing the best Prime Day music deals right on this page.

Will other stores be hosting Prime Day music deals?

Last year, in addition to big-name music brands rearing their heads on Amazon, there were competitive music gear discounts to be had from the likes of Fender Play, Musician’s Friend, Sweetwater and Guitar Center, plus Walmart and Best Buy covering everything from beginner acoustic guitars, to guitar wireless systems. These won't be official 'Prime Day deals', but they will be available at the same time as Amazon's own sale. 

We’re hoping to see more activity from the big music retailers in 2024 as the Prime Day competition heats up, plus more deals from software brands and companies who sell direct.

The main event might have been created by Amazon, but it's not exclusive to Amazon anymore. The buzz around Prime Day gets people in the mood for a bargain, and the big retailers know this, so will no doubt be cooking up their own music deals too.
