You don’t need to wait for Black Friday itself (24 November) to access some incredible deals on guitars, studio gear, electronic drums and more. You’ll find eye-catching deals on Universal Audio, Lewitt, Roland, Elektron and more, until November 16.

It’s a difficult job but someone had to do it, right? Lucky for you, I found some decent deals in the Sweetwater early Black Friday sale. There are, as you’d expect, discounts on everything you could need to kit out an entirely new studio, but if you’re looking for the one or two things that could elevate your setup to the next level, you’ve come at the right time.

Among the best offers we found was up to $50 off the entire range of up to $50 off the entire range of Universal Audio Volt audio interfaces. As one of the best-respected names in studio tech, these affordable interfaces deliver superior sound quality and come with a neat software bundle to elevate your home recording game. The pick of the offers is the 4-in/4-out Universal Audio Volt 476, which has been reduced from $369 to $319 - perfect for recording more than one instrument at once.

Beatmakers can take advantage of a 25% reduction on the cost of the Elektron Model:Samples, taking it down from $399 to $299 for a limited period. I’ve got one of these in my home studio, and its bigger brother, the Digitakt, and can tell you it’s an awful lot of fun. Load up your own samples, sculpt your sounds and then take advantage of one of the best sequencers in the business to create some amazing sounds in no time at all. 

If it’s studio microphones you’re after, then the highly rated - by us - Lewitt range has some enticing discounts across the board. Our pick, the Lewitt LCT441 Flex is down from $399 to $349, while the higher-spec Lewitt LCT640 has $200 off, taking it down from $899 to $699.
