Cyber Monday plugin deals: What to expect
Loads of plugin and music software sites will be taking part in the Cyber Monday plugins feast of 2021, so we'd recommend signing up to the mailing lists of your favourite retailers to get the jump on the best deals.
Of course, if you can’t be bothered with the stress of searching through the latest deals yourself, our experts will be pulling all-nighters across the event to uncover the very best Cyber Monday plugin deals and publishing them right here.
Seeing as plugins are downloads rather than physical products, they won’t sell out. A more realistic consideration is that some of these deals might be time-limited - from a couple of days to just a few hours - so we’d recommend you don’t ponder a purchase for too long.
Discounts can range from a few $/£ off a cool sample pack, to massive percentage discounts of huge swathes of music production software.
Last year, Plugin Boutique knocked up to 95% off some of its most popular products, while Waves dropped the price of 150 epic plugins to just $29.99, knocking hundreds of the usual asking price. Other companies will offer bundle deals, too – the more you purchase, the more you save.
Whichever deals you go for, you can guarantee there will be silly savings up for grabs, so if you’re planning on updating your studio or adding to your collection to boost your music production set-up, it’s well worth marking your diary for Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday plugin deals: How to prepare
Start your wishlist now! The most sensible way to take advantage of the best Cyber Monday plugin deals is to know in advance what you’re looking for. This will make searching much easier, rather than having to trawl through loads of deals you don’t want to find the ones you do.

If so, perhaps the old version will be massively discounted for Cyber Monday? As part of your research we'd recommend checking out our guide to the best Waves plugins.
