There's just over a week to go until this year's Black Friday plugin deals kick off officially, but Waves have got in on the discounting super early this year, with early bird Black Friday deals doing the rounds since the start of November. They're adding 30 new deals each week, with the latest update taking the new total of hugely discounted plugins up to 90.
So, what's actually up for grabs? Well, for a limited time you can save up to 89% off a range of Waves’ biggest hitters, some of which feature in our guide to the best Waves plugins.
For this early bird sale, prices have dropped as low as $24.99 on a range of plugins - from compressors, reverbs and EQs, to vocal processors, signature packs and even the popular Abbey Road plugins, they're all present and correct. There's also big cash off bulk-buy bundles such as Waves Platinum and Silver (in fact Silver is the cheapest it's ever been at just $99.99). So, whether you’re looking to upgrade or you want to add some new tools to your arsenal, now's is certainly the time to invest.
Even better, the more you put in your basket, the more you will save. You'll get an additional 10% off your second plugin, 30% off your third plugin, and 50% off your fifth plugin. That's some serious cash back in your pocket.
Black Friday will officially land on 25 November, but we're certain there will be plenty of crazy deals dropping from Waves in the coming days. As it stands, last week's deals are still live in addition to the new ones, but it's highly likely these deals will all end once the official Black Friday offers kick in.
Our advice would be to pounce on these early deals when you see them, because many of them won’t return to these super low prices again.
As we get closer to the big day, keep it locked to our Black Friday music deals page for all the latest and biggest offers.
