Waves makes some of the best plugins out there, and it is software used by some of the biggest names in music production. These plugins can offer exacting emulations of the finest studio production tools in history, or deliver modern production techniques like automatic vocal tuning.

There are hundreds of Waves plugins available and Waves often likes to do deals on them, but this time the company has gone one step further. It has put a selection of 100 of its plugins in the 'Waves 40% Off Zone', slashing each one's already heavily-discounted price by another 40%. This means savings can be as much as 91% in total. But that's not all. If you spend $50 on them, you get another plugin free; spend $80 and you get two more plugins for free! Will this offer best anything we see in this year’s Black Friday plugin deals?

Software plugins in the deal include emulations of the legendary 1176 and LA-3A compressors, other titles based on gear at the iconic Abbey Road studios, and more modern processors like Waves OVox for vocals and Smack Attack for drums and percussion.

Waves CLA-76: Was $249, then $49.99, now $29.99

Waves CLA-76: Was $249, then $49.99, now $29.99
This is an emulation of the UREI 1176, an ultra-fast response FET compressor with tube-like distortion. This version features two emulations of the 'Bluey' and 'Blacky' 1176 units owned by top engineer Chris Lord-Alge, which have a particularly characterful sound. The 1176 is also known for its 'all buttons in' mode which delivers a fantastic overdriven sound, and the CLA-76 models this effect perfectly. With a massive 88% off, this is a great time to buy this amazing plugin.
