Black Friday/Cyber Monday FAQ

What Can You Get In The Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals?

What Can You Get In The Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale?

The great thing about the sale is that it isn’t restricted to one type of item. We’d be here until the next Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale if we were to list everything.

Probably the most wallet-emptying items in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales tend to be plug-ins.

Of course, it’s not uncommon to find deals on plug-ins year-round, but during Black Friday you’ll be able to find rock bottom prices on EQ’s, compressors, modulations and loads of hardware/software.

If there’s anything you’ve had your eye on, keep on the lookout as chances are you’ll find it cheaper during Black Friday than the rest of the year (and you won’t even need to leave the comfort of your home or studio to get it!).

Tips For Nabbing Black Friday Deals?

Tips For Nabbing 2022 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Music Production Deals

We’d suggest keeping tabs on Waves (undoubtedly the kings & queens of plug-in sales!), iZotope, and Plugin Boutique for some great savings this year.

For those of us wanting to get our hands on something physical, most music instrument and equipment retailers will reduce their rates for Black Friday too.

We’ve seen some crazy savings from Amazon in previous years so if you’re a guitarist or bassist in need of a new axe, effects pedal or anything else then we’d suggest keeping your eyes peeled there.

It’s worth bookmarking the ‘Top Deals In Musical Instruments‘ page on Amazon so you can stay on top of what’s going on sale.

Amazon’s also a good one to scout because of their ridiculous variety and free (Prime) shipping.

Amazon had a great Black Friday last year with their discounts ranging from music tech to Amazon Echos.

There are usually great offers to be found with manufacturers selling bundles for Black Friday as well, where rather than discounting an item they will throw in a selection of extras with any purchase instead.

When Do The Deals Start?

When Do The 2022 Black Friday/Cyber Monday Music Sales Start?

The Black Friday music production sales fall on November 25th, 2022. Cyber Monday is on November 28th, 2022.

It’s not uncommon for retailers to get a little over-excited about the sales, however, so expect to see some discounts applied before these dates (in the past these have even begun in October).
