1. LANDR Plugin Bundles
Â
Iâll kick this list off with the plugin bundle weâre most excited about right now. Itâs the comprehensive set of mix & vocal production tools, instruments, effects and more from LANDR.
LANDR Plugin Bundles include a huge collection powerful but easy-to-use plugins made specifically to help you produce your best music.
The bundle includes purpose-built plugins for mixing, performing, and creating. You get LANDRâs impressive suite of one-knob plugins in LANDR FX, LANDRâs industry leading AI mastering plugin and powerful creation tools like LANDR Composer, Synth X, LANDR Guitar and more.
Youâll also get access to Synchro Arts vocal production tools including RePitch and VocAlign to speed your vocal production, pitch correction and alignment process.
Itâs a perfect balance of flexibility, quality sound and quick, easy results. If you ever find yourself bogged down tweaking plugin parameters when youâd rather be laying down tracks, LANDR Plugin Bundle makes an excellent deal.
If you want even more value, we highly recommend checking out LANDR Studio Pro. It gives you all the plugins in the LANDR inventory plus access to our massive library of high-quality samples, unlimited mastering, and unlimited distribution to all major platforms.
2. Synchro Arts Vocal Production Bundle
Synchro Arts is an industry-standard vocal production plugin maker that made its mark with its revolutionary, time saving vocal alignment plugin VocAlign.
Its newest Vocal Production Bundle packages everything you need to align complex vocal stacks with VocAlign Standard and polish vocals with RePitchâs natural, clear sound pitch correction.
The two plugins offer a fast workflow thatâll save you time so you can focus on what matters most.
Getting them together at the killer price of $399 makes an excellent deal that any producer should consider.
Start producing your best vocals ever with Synchro Arts Vocal Production Bundle.
3. Soundtoys 5
Founded by a team of ex-Eventide engineers, Soundtoys has a legendary reputation for quality effects.
Plugin collections typically go on a sale as a package. If youâre lucky you can get entire suites of pro mix tools for far less than list price.
Youâll find classics like EchoBoy and Decapitator in many pro engineersâ plugin collections.
And while the company hasnât released too many new plugins lately, buying a bundle is still a great way to get your hands on their offerings.
The main bundle product includes all 21 Soundtoys effects. Each one is excellent, but in addition to the two mentioned above, Devil-loc, Microshift and Little Alterboy are essential!
4. UAD Native Bundles
Vintage modeling giant Universal Audio surprised the production tools world this winter with their announcement of UAD Native.
The launch marked the first time the companyâs respected plugins could be used without costly DSP-acceleration hardware.
And while youâll still pay a premium price for the bundled packages, UADâs near-perfect emulations donât disappoint.
Youâll find timeless analog mixing tools like the 1176 compressor and Pultec EQ alongside creative favorites like the Roland RE-201 Space Echoârunning natively on Mac or Windows!
5. Waves Platinum
Waves is known for their popular plugins and near-constant sales and discounts.
While individual plugins are regularly marked down 60% or more, Waves bundles frequently feature discount offers that are too good to ignore.
With such a massive library of plugins, it may be tempting to hold out for
But sometimes too many options can get in the way. The top-tier Waves bundles can feel a bit bloated, especially if youâre already using tools from other manufacturers.
If youâre new to the Waves library, I recommend the Platinum bundle to get acquainted with the classics. But the Abbey Road series features many of their best plugins!
6. Fabfilter Pro Bundle
Fabfilterâs user-friendly suite of incredibly powerful plugins have become a new industry standard for mix engineers.
Like most respected music software, pro quality comes at a price. And while Fabfilter plugins arenât often seen on regular deep discounts, the bundle offers can help you save.
That said, Fabfilterâs Total bundle is probably out of reach for most producers, even during sale season.
Luckily, there are different combinations of Fabfilter plugins at different price points.
My pick is the Pro Bundle, which offers the most practical selection of the brandâs plugins for mixing.
It includes their flagship Pro-Q 3 EQ as well as their incredible takes on compression, limiting, reverb, gating and de-essing.
7. NI Komplete
NI Komplete was one of the first mega bundles on the production software scene.
Itâs still a great offering with a larger and more powerful collection than ever.
The classic synths like FM8, Massive or Absynth are still there, but youâll find plenty of newer instruments like Super 8 and TRK-01.
On top of that, youâll get an impressive collection of sampled sounds for Kontakt 6 and a powerful suite of effects.
These days several editions of Komplete are available, making it slightly hard to figure out what each one offers and how much it costs.
8. Arturia V Collection
Who wouldnât want a rack full of the best hardware synths ever made in their studio?
Thatâs essentially what you get with the Arturia V collection.
With quality emulations of countless studio favorites, V collection has some of the best vintage synth sounds anywhere.
Some of the highlights include iconic synths from Roland, Oberheim, Yamaha, ARP and Sequential.
Youâll also get excellent takes on the Hammond organ, Wurlitzer electric piano and traditional acoustic piano.
Even if youâre not a keyboard player youâll find plenty to love with the Emulator II and Fairlight CMI sampling and even a Moog-style modular rig.
If youâve ever fallen for the sounds of classic synths, Arturia V should be on your radar.
9. UAD Custom Bundles
If youâre on the UAD hardware platform you know that investing in new plugins doesnât come cheap.
Thatâs why taking advantage of sales and bundles is so important.
Itâs easy to see why bundles are your best value when it comes to software.
Luckily, UAD offers an ongoing custom bundle offer to help you combine and save. Available in various sizes from 2-13 plugins, custom bundles scale the savings as you go.
At the top tier you get 13 plugins for the price of 10, bringing the cost down to about as manageable as you can get.
On top of that, several collections of UAD plugins are regularly sold in bundle format. Brand collections from Neve, API and SSL as well as their flagship Analog Classics bundle contain many of their best offerings.
10. D16 Silverline
D16 regularly makes our lists of the best plugins for creative effects. From modulation to lo-fi sampler emulations, their offerings are known for flexibility and unique sound.
The Silverline collection features great effects processors like the Syntorus 2 tri-chorus, Fazortan 2 space phaser and Decimort bit crusher.
If youâre looking for a bundle to help with sound design, texture or unique atmosphere, Silverline should be on your list.
11. Goodhertz
This one is sort of a secret bundle since this unique developer doesnât have a specific bundled product offering.
That said, the more plugins you buy, the more you saveâup to 25%. This discount jumps during sales so watch for seasonal deals to come up.
Even at the relatively modest 25%, snatching up these plugins is worth it for their creative approach to bread-and-butter effects like compression and reverb.
You wonât be disappointed!
12. u-he All Synths Bundle
u-he is renowned as one of the finest developers of software synths plugins, including both high-quality analog-style synths and advanced, modern designs.
Their everything bundle gives you, of course, every plugin they have at a discount.
It comes to âŹ690 at a âŹ774 value, which is not an enormous difference, but there are among the more premium-grade plugins out there.
If youâre serious about both advanced synthesis and accurate, characterful emulations of analog sound, u-he is extremely well regarded. They are known for their good support and maintenance of their products as well.
Highly recommended if you can fit it into your budget.
13. Slate Digital Complete Access Bundle
Slate Digital offers a pretty impressive range of plugins in most categories, mostly specializing in emulations of classic mixing hardware.
Their Complete Access Bundle is a subscription bundle that gives you everything they make, plus music production course videos, for $200/year.Â
Their collection of plugins lacks vocal editing/correction/comping tools, MIDI tools, and intelligent tools like stem separation. It is also quite limited in the department of virtual instruments like synths and drum machines.
If, however, youâre looking to focus specifically on mixing tools and classic processors, this could be a suitable deal for you. Itâs a decent amount of plugin power at a reasonable price.
14. IK Multimedia T-RackS
IK Multimedia has a wide range of plugins in their offering, most of them being emulations or iterations of classic mixing and mastering hardware.
Their T-RackS options give you a few different bundles of their plugins at different prices. The most inclusive option is T-RackS MAX, which contains 61 audio processors for $299.99, with a rent-to-own option at $50 for 6 months.
Their offering focuses on console-style mixing and mastering, so they donât have many plugins in departments like modulation effects or instruments like synths and drum machines.
But, like Slate Digitalâs bundle, if youâre looking for classic mixing tools, this collection offers a pretty solid value.
Bonus round: Audio interface bundles
When it comes to bundles, itâs also worth considering the software that comes with some audio interfaces. If youâre in the market for an interface, here are a few that might do the trick.
Focusrite Scarlett Series
Focusriteâs Scarlett Series are among the most widely-used audio interfaces for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. They also come bundled with a great collection of music software tools.
This includes a two-month subscription to LANDR Studio plus five free masters so you can have your first tracks release-ready in minutes.
PreSonus AudioBox USB 96
PreSonus is another well-known institution when it comes to audio interfaces, and their AudioBox USB 96 interface comes bundled with some handy tools to get you started.
This includes the companyâs DAW, Studio One Artist, and their Studio Magic Software Suite, which is a collection of virtual instruments, effects plug-ins, and tutorials.
M-Audio AIR Series
M-Audio are another brand known for their widely-used interfaces, many of which are great for beginner producers. Their AIR Series interfaces come with some pretty solid bundles.
The AIR 192|4, for example, comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite, MPC Beats, and a decent range of effects and instrument plugins.
Bundle up and save
Itâs easy to see why bundles are your best value when it comes to software.
But beyond the great savings, it can be helpful to have a solid set of tools built to be used together.
Whether you need the deep features of a pro production suite or a reliable set of creative processors to get inspired, thereâs something for every producer on this list.
