Buying plugins in a bundle is always a great way to save money - you almost always make significant savings in comparison to buying each instrument or effect individually - but when the Cyber Monday plugin bundles start rolling in, it really is worth paying attention.
Not only do you get the regular benefit of buying in bulk, but with a further big discount applied, you can get a whole lot of music-making software for not very much cash.
We’ve been scouring the virtual shelves for the best Cyber Monday plugin bundle deals of 2021, and here they are.
1. Arturia V Collection 8 and FX Collection 2 (opens in new tab)
V Collection 8 gives you all the classic keyboard sounds you’ll ever need. It features lovingly emulated software versions of synths from the likes of Roland, Yamaha, Moog, Oberheim and many more, and with the price down to just €299, there’s never been a better time to buy.
FX Collection 2, meanwhile, takes a similar approach to effects, giving you plugin takes on vintage reverbs, compressors, modulation effects and more. Again, there’s 50% off, so you’ll pay just €199.

A real corker, this one - the Diamond bundle takes a whole load of iZotope favourites (including RX Elements V8, Ozone 9 Standard, Neutron 3 Standard, Trash 2, Iris 2 and R2), smashes them together and lets you buy them for an amazing price.
$149 is a real steal for this one, but if you can't stretch to that, there are also Gold (opens in new tab) ($49) and Platinum (opens in new tab) ($99) packages to consider. Seriously, though, at this price, it's definitely worth going Diamond.
(opens in new tab)3. Native Instruments Komplete 13 Collector's Edition (opens in new tab)
One of the original plugin bundles - and still one of the best - Komplete is Native Instruments' greatest hits collection. And NI has certainly had a lot of hits.
There are various versions of Komplete 13, but this is the biggest, giving you 122 instruments and effects, 73 expansions and more than 115,000 sounds. In fact, your biggest problem might be working your way through it all.

You can barely move for plugin deals on the Waves website at the moment, but the offer on the Horizon bundle is definitely one of the best.
It contains 83 plugins that are great for mixing, mastering and production, and all for one crazy price.
(opens in new tab)5. Soundtoys 5 (opens in new tab)
Soundtoys plugins have long been must-haves for the discerning producer, and this is a great way to get all of them in one high-value hit.
All the big names are here - the likes of Decapitator, PrimalTap, Little AlterBoy, EchoBoy and Little Plate - so now you can find out what all the fuss is about.
