We interview a lot of producers here at MusicRadar, and across all of those conversations, there's one brand that gets mentioned more than any other: Soundtoys.
These effects plugins are some of the most popular processors on the market for a reason - they simply sound great. Just ask Jack Antonoff, who has name-checked Soundtoys' FilterFreak as one of his go-to tools for vocal production.
In our review of Soundtoys 5, we gave this mammoth plugin bundle a five-star rating and described it as "an essential collection of effects for producers in all genres". That very bundle (which has since been updated to 5.5) is currently available for less than half price in the Black Friday sales over at Soundtoys' website and Plugin Boutique, giving you the complete array of Soundtoys tools for a serious discount. At only $239 for a suite of 23 phenomenal effects, that's one of the best Black Friday plugin deals we've seen this year.
If that sounds like a bit too much of an investment, Soundtoys is offering some fantastic discounts across individual effects, with some of its most popular titles (including FilterFreak) available for up to 75% off. Scroll down for a few of our top picks.
As well as making excellent plugins, the Soundtoys team also happen to be a generous bunch – the company recently donated $61,000 to Doctors Without Borders, raised entirely through sales of its Radiator tube saturation plugin. All Radiator sales made at Soundtoys' website after November 1, 2025, will now benefit World Central Kitchen (WCK), and the plugin is currently available for less than half price at $39.
