in this video i'm looking at seven of the best black friday deals happening over on plugin
boutique right now and these are the ones that i would grab this year there's some amazing effects
and instruments plugins there's probably one of the best guitar amp sim plugins on this list
and a songwriting tool that can help with pretty much every aspect of
writing your songs plus there's a few freebies that'll let you know about near
the end of this video i'm Zane welcome to Audio Tech TV this video is sponsored by Plugin Boutique
they asked me to look at their website and pick out the deals that i would actually purchase
which is what i have done and i'm going to share with you there's a link down in the description to
their website so you can head over there and check out these deals plus the many other ones that they
have going on right now and the first one that i'm going to mention is the Soundtoys deals so
you can grab individual plugins between 60 and 73 percent off in this deal and some of the plugins
to kind of highlight or the ones that i like in here are the decapitator plugin this is a pretty
cool saturation plugin that can add some really nice color to your tracks and you can use it
all over your mix you can see it's 69 right now in this sale regularly 199 and another cool plugin
to check out is this little alter boy this one is a vocal plugin and you can use it in a number
of different ways you can use it to add some harmonies to your tracks or you can just mangle
your vocals however you want using little alter boy you can see it's 39 regularly 99 so that's 60
off another great plugin right there so they have quite a few plugins in here
all at great prices you get the Soundtoys plugin bundle that includes all 20 of their
plug-ins so you're going to get that Decapitator the little altar boy echo boy all of these amazing
plugins in this bundle it's 229 during the sale regularly 4.99 and it's an incredible
plug-in bundle now the other way that we can go is by purchasing this soundtoys effect rack
and what this is is an effects rack and you can use it to create chains of the soundtoys plugins
you don't get all 20 you get 14 plugins with this so some of the ones that are missing are
that little altar boy it's not in their little plate little primal tap little micro shift
and little radiator are not in there but you do get the decapitator plus many other great
plugins with this and you can create those effects chains and save those chains so you can easily add
those chains to more projects and more tracks but one thing to note is these are the full plugins
but you can't add the plugin individually on the track you have to add it in this effects rack now
i don't know if that makes a big difference to you it is just something to note and you can see it's
129 dollars for 14 plugins which is an incredible value regularly to 99. all right the second Black
Friday deal on my list over at Plugin Boutique is the holiday bundles from iZotope three bundles
here that are available we'll start with looking at this 49 one which is the gold edition bundle
and what we get with this is Trash 2 i love that plugin it's all about distortion saturations
and you can get some really nice sounds out of it or really trashy sounds depending on
how you want to look at it you get the iris 2 synth which is huge you get phoenix verb stereo
and the r2 stereo reverb both of those are nice reverb plugins excalibur which is a multi-effects
plugin it can create lots of sounds excellent plug-in break tweaker expanded which can help you
with creating beats and that sort of thing stutter edit two which can create those stutter effects if
you're interested in that plus you get four of the elements plugin so you get ozone elements neutron
elements rx elements and nectar elements so that's a great vocal plug-in this can
help you to fix some of your audio maybe it's removing some background sounds or some sort of
noise in your track this can help with that neutron element is an incredible eq plugin
and then you have ozone which is really designed for mastering but you can use this on buses and
other things not just mastering so this gold edition bundle is just 49 and you can see the
price of all of these plugins would be 1342 if you were to buy them individually the next bundle
is the platinum edition one and this includes pretty much all of the same plugins from the last
one except for you get Ozone 9 standard instead of ozone elements and this adds more features to
ozone ozone elements is great but this one can do a lot more you get neutron 3 standard and the same
thing the elements one is great but this one can do more but as you can see you still get the rx
elements in there and the nectar elements plus all of those other plug-ins like i said and this one
is 99 and you can see it's 1899 dollars if you were to purchase all of these plug-ins on their
own and now the last izotope holiday bundle is the diamond edition and with this one you pretty much
get all of those same plugins from the platinum edition except for now in this one you get the
nectar 3 plus instead of the elements version and this is an incredible vocal plug-in so it can do
so much with your vocals it has a vocal assistant in there you just hit the vocal assistant button
run your vocals through it and it's going to make suggestions for you an excellent plug-in
there and that's the same with the ozone plugin it has a mastering assistant in there you hit that
button run your mix through it and it's going to make suggestions for you great for starting
points or just use as is and neutron is the same thing it has that assistant in there you run your
track through it it makes those suggestions for you plus in this one you also get the neoverb
plugin and neoverb is a smart reverb that has a reverb assistant so you run your track through it
it's going to make some suggestions and you can choose to use those or edit them however you like
these are incredible plugins and you can see this bundle here is a hundred and forty nine dollars
i know i spent a lot more on these plugins than that and this is a very good deal the third black
friday deal on my list is one of the best guitar amp sim plugins out there this is Bias FX 2.
you don't get these kinds of deals on this plugin very often so there's three tiers to this you have
Bias FX to elite pro or standard so with the standard version you get 30 amps 43 effects and
70 presets you can see it's 39 through this sale regularly 99 so that's a great deal right there
30 amps and 43 effects for that price and this is high quality stuff in here now the next one is
the pro and you get 60 amps 115 effects and 130 presets you can see it's 79 here regularly 199
dollars an excellent value right there again this is really good quality guitar amp sim software
and finally we have the elite version and in here you get 100 amps 122 effects
and 210 presets you can see it's going for 119 during the sale regularly 2.99 any of these three
are excellent value if you're a guitar player you have the stomp boxes in there the rack effects
and celestion speaker cabinets in there it's a great deal no matter which one you decide to go
with now the fourth black friday deal on my list is kind of a sleeper this one is the lifeline
expanse plugin and this is a multi-effects plug-in it can add dirt and re-amp with space
you can do some really cool things with this plug-in it's definitely worth checking out in
it kind of one of those sleeper plug-ins that you may not notice otherwise it's one that i've been
wanting to check out you can see it's 49 regularly 59 so not a huge savings but it is a savings
and it's a really cool plug-in worth checking out fifth on my list is kind of two deals these
are the Arturia plugin bundles there's the arturia v collection 8 which is on sale for 50%
off right now and in here you get some amazing virtual synths you actually get 28
virtual cents and they're all incredible these are synths that i've been using since i started out
and they continue to update them getting them to sound better and better every time and including
way more sounds with them every time so you can see in here you have your junos your jupiter
melotron ones that i really loved when i was starting out were the cs 80. i thought that
was a very cool synth i still do think that and the arp 2600 is a huge synth and it can
make some huge sounds so you can see there's 28 synths all together in there this one is 299
regularly 599 if you have the budget for it and you want a great synth collection this
is one of the best and the next bundle from Arturia is the FX collection 2. if you've
watched this channel for a while you might have seen the video where i did an entire mix of a song
using only these plugins and i was surprised at how great it turned out and i wasn't craving any
other plug-ins i could use these and i didn't need anything else the quality of these plug-ins is
very nice so the price on this during the sale is 199 regularly 399 and well worth it now the sixth
deal on my list has some synths that i fell in love with when i first started in music production
this is the native instruments complete classics and in here you get three synths and one excellent
effect plugin you get massive which is a massive analog style synth but it's capable of creating
modern basses and leads plus some old school sounds in there this could be
your everyday workhorse synth if you want you can see it includes 1300 sounds with it
an incredible massive synth plugin now the next one is one that i absolutely fell in love with
when i first started out this is absynth 5 back then it was just absinthe when i started out
and i was doing music for some independent movies i knew some directors back then they wanted music
and i found this plugin and was able to create this ambience and soundscapes with it it was
so cool and still to this day if i'm asked to do some style of music like that this is the first
plugin that i go to and it's kind of cool because it is a semi-modular plugin so you can really dig
in and create some sounds of your own but it includes over 2100 presets with it so if you
don't want to go in and adjust things yourself you have 2100 things to check out first as
starting points an excellent excellent synth i love that one and the next one on the list is fm8
and this one could be the best fm synth plugin out there it is huge you can see it comes with
over 1200 presets with it so lots of sounds in there lots of things to test out and between
these three synths you have over 4600 sounds that you can choose from so this is really a nice
bundle to go with plus you also get this replica delay plug-in and this is like two delays in one
you have your modern delay which is more of a clean digital type of delay and then you have a
vintage mode which is a little more gritty you can see it also has this diffusion mode which is like
a delay with a reverb it's an excellent bundle to check out you can see it is 99 right now regularly
495 dollars so a great value right there the next black friday plug-in boutique deal is scalar 2
which is a huge plug-in it may not look like it at first but this thing is capable of doing
so much and can take your songwriting to a whole new huge level not just one level up it's going up
multiple levels the more you get into this plugin it can detect your track's key and then give you
alternative scales chords and modes that you can go with it includes over 200 artist chord sets
plus over 300 unique genre common and mood bass chord sets so for pretty much any style of music
you can find some chord progressions and that sort of thing in there so those were the seven deals on
my Plugin Boutique Black Friday sale list and now there's some freebies that i want to talk about
you can choose one of six plugins on checkout and the six plugins are this audiority polycomp which
is a vca type of compression you have the audio thing the orb and this is a formant filter plugin

have the heaviosity punish light plug-in which is a saturation plug-in that can give you subtle
warmth or total destruction depending on how you want to use it there is this free aas sound bank
so you get the AAS player and then you get to choose one sound bank out of 40 banks you have
