Black Friday 2025 is here, and as always, we’re rounding up all the best music production freebies in one place so you don’t miss a thing.
Please note that these are limited-time deals. Some last through Cyber Monday, while some expire later today. So if something catches your eye, grab it now.
Let’s dive into the complete list.
Universal Audio – Pick Any Plugin For FREE
Universal Audio is letting you choose one free plugin from a list of ten, using the code BFPICK1FREE at checkout. The offer runs until December 1st.
I love this deal because you can complete your UAD collection. Skip the plugins that you already own (obviously) or those that tend to show up as freebies over and over again (the 1176, LA-2A, etc.).
My shortlist would be:
- Century Tube Channel Strip
- PolyMAX Synth
- Pultec Passive EQ Collection
- Pure Plate Reverb
PolyMAX, in particular, is an awesome pick. It’s a fantastic “instant inspiration” synth if you want analog-like sounds without deep tweaking, and if you haven’t already claimed it previously.
UAD Native plugins run on macOS/Windows via UA Connect and require a free iLok account.
Waves Audio – FREE Magma StressBox
Waves Audio continues its Black Friday tradition with a brand-new freebie: the Magma StressBox, a one-knob dynamics tool that flips between aggressive compression and transient-enhancing expansion.
I’ve already spent some time with it, and despite the single control, it’s pretty versatile. A touch of compression adds punch immediately, and the expansion does a nice job tightening ambience or adding clarity and a bit of crispness to softer recordings.
It’s only free on Black Friday, so sign up quickly.
Antelope Audio – MG4+ EQ (FREE Until Nov 30)
Antelope Audio is giving away the MG4+, normally $119, completely free until November 30th. This one is a high-end, linear-phase EQ inspired by the famous 500-series hardware known for its airy “Sky Band.”
In my experience, it sounds absolutely amazing on vocals. And yes, your stock EQ can get pretty close, but what stands out here is the workflow and the immediately fantastic results.
So you want polished highs on vocals or drums, this is a no-brainer freebie. You get both the Native and Synergy Core versions.
AIR Music Tech – Tape Double Track
AIR’s Tape Double Track plugin recreates the classic dual-tape ADT technique, complete with varispeed, panning, drive, and an excellent Bass Mono control that prevents phasing issues.
I’m a huge fan of ADT plugins, and this one nails that slightly wobbly tape feel. If you don’t already own an ADT tool, definitely grab this while it’s free.
Runs on macOS/Windows in VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX.
Audio Plugin Deals – FREE Black Friday Bundle ($211 Value)
Audio Plugin Deals is offering a seven-part sample + Kontakt library collection for free. The pack covers vintage drum machines, cinematic atmospheres, synthwave patches, vocal textures, and more.
A few highlights I personally like:
- Vintage Machines – tons of one-shots from classic drum units.
- Moonscapes – some pretty nice evolving pads for ambient scoring.
- Power Move – retro synthwave leads and basses.
Some content requires the full version of Kontakt, but everything includes WAV files, so you can drag-and-drop samples into any DAW.
BPB – FREE Flame Sound Black Friday Bundle
Our own BPB exclusive this year is the Flame Sound Black Friday Bundle, a cinematic toolkit featuring 86 WAV sounds, including braams, impacts, loops, human voice textures, tonal accents, and more.
I hand-picked these myself from Flame Sound’s catalog and even included unreleased material from upcoming packs. Everything is production-ready and free until Cyber Monday.
You can download it directly from our Gumroad page.
Sonic Academy – JU-60 Chorus (FREE)
Sonic Academy once again made JU-60, their Roland Juno-style chorus, available for free. The classic chorus with two sound (and my favorite – the combination of the two) modes instantly thickens synth patches, guitars, or vocals.
If you missed previous giveaways, don’t miss it this time. Simple, clean, and very Juno.
Karanyi Sounds – Cloudmax Breeze Black Edition (FREE)
Karanyi Sounds has launched an AI-powered vocal enhancer with three tone-shaping controls (Space, Crisp, Heat) and a macro knob that lets you control everything together.
I found it quick to use. You use the three knobs to set your general tone, then ride the macro knob like a wet/dry fader. It sounds pretty good and is free for a limited time.
UJAM – Finisher RETRO
UJAM is giving away Finisher RETRO, their multi-effect nostalgia machine normally priced at $59. This one has been free a couple of times in the past, and I’m always happy to see it return.
Finisher RETRO is an “instant old-school flavors” box built around UJAM’s signature Finisher engine. If you haven’t used any of the other Finisher plugins, here’s the quick rundown. Each preset basically hides a complex chain of processors, yet everything is controlled with just a couple of knobs.
This one, called RETRO, is especially fun on synths, but it also works wonders on guitars, keys, and even drum loops if you want something slightly degraded or spaced-out.
Grab it for free before December 7th.
XLN Audio – FREE Black Friday Drum Pack
XLN Audio dropped a small but high-quality 36 MB drum sample pack. It’s a direct download with no registration required, which is always a plus.
Just download the ZIP file, and you get a set of kicks, snares, hats, toms, cymbals, and loops. Then you can keep your favorites and start chopping.
Everything is 24-bit WAV and works in any DAW or sampler.
Compatibility Overview
All plugins above are available for macOS and Windows unless noted otherwise. Formats vary by product, but most of the plugins are VST3, AU, and AAX, with some offering VST2. Always check individual product pages for OS and plugin-format requirements.
