These are the 7 Memorial Day music software sales you need to care about
Bag epic software discounts up to 98% from Waves, Plugin Boutique, Guitar Center & more - today only

While Memorial day isn’t known for massive software offers (you’ll need to wait for the Black Friday plugin deals in November for that), that doesn’t mean there aren’t killer offers out there. Home recording and producing can be an expensive game, which is why it’s always worth keeping an eye out for bargains on the software you have on your wishlist. That’s where today's Memorial Day music software deals come in.
We’ve waded through all the biggest retailers to zero in on the 7 sales that we think are worth your time today. Whether you're looking for new mixing and mastering tools (you’ll want the Waves buy 2 get 2 free sale for that), you want to create better guitar recordings (hello Positive Grid 'buy more to save more' sale), or you’re in the market for a new DAW (head on over to Guitar Center to shop around), you’ll find it online today.
What’s even better is that you don’t have to wait around for software to arrive, or pay extra to get it delivered. See something you like at an irresistible price? You can start downloading it to your machine in seconds.
Memorial Day is literally today, after which many of these sales will end and the software will go back up in price, so we’d recommend acting fast if you see something you want.
