How to Get the Most From Plugin Boutique’s Black Friday
- Check upgrade prices first. If you own an earlier version, the upgrade is often much cheaper than the full product. Scaler 3, for example, is $39 for Scaler 1 or 2 owners.
- Claim the free gift. Plugin Boutique currently lets you choose a free gift with every purchase, so pick one when you buy.
- Check the system requirements. Make sure a plugin runs on your computer and in your DAW before you buy. Our posts list formats and Pro Tools support for each one.
- Use the free trials. Many plugins, including Scaler 3, Chord Prism 2 and Addictive Keys, have free trials. Try them now so you’re ready to buy when the price drops.
- Don’t buy a bundle for one plugin. A big bundle only saves money if you’ll use most of what’s in it.
