Plugin Boutique offers a massive 95% off the Waves Platinum Bundle using the coupon code PBPLAT98.

The offer ends on September 19, 2024, so you’ll have to act fast to take advantage of the huge discount.

It’s worth noting that you can find the Platinum Bundle listed with significantly varied price tags from one source to another. The Plugin Boutique list price is £1,885, and the discount takes it down to just £78. Other sources list it at around £250, give or take a little.

Whatever you feel about the £1,885 price tag, £78 is a good price for a bundle that includes 60 plugins for mixing, mastering, and music production.

The Platinum Bundle includes every plugin from the Gold collection plus eighteen more.

The Platinum Bundle features instruments like the Electric Grand 80 Piano, and although it’s been around for years, it’s still a very fair representation of an iconic sound. From Genesis, That’s All to D’Angelo’s Sugah Daddy, the Yamaha CP-80 is the driving force behind so many hits.

Of course, the Platinum Bundle is more about processing tools than instruments, but it’s nice to have a bit of everything.

Some of the most popular Waves plugins are included in the bundle, which have become workhorses for many producers and engineers, like the C4 Multiband Compressor and H-Delay.

The collection covers most things, from transient control to maximizing loudness, compression, EQ, reverb, delay, and more. You also get vintage emulations, like PuigTec EQ (Pultec EQ).

Those into vintage emulations, check out Lotus Sound Audio’s LA2-FOX compressor.

I have some Waves plugins, but not a significant amount; it is a small collection of recommendations, and I’ve always had mixed feelings.

I have some of the Abbey Road stuff, a few core plugins, and Submarine, which multiple people recommended. I quite liked Submarine, and I want to be convinced to get more into Waves plugins because some of my favourite producers use many of them, making me think I’m missing a trick.

But, issues with version updates and strange pricing often prevent me from getting started. One of my absolute turn-offs is the seemingly perpetual limited-time offers running across the website banner that feels unapologetically disingenuous.

However, oxymoronic banners aside, a good deal is a good deal, and now I might finally be stepping into the world of Waves.
