Ok, here are my favorites as well. And as @peter already said, we encourage all of you Linked Musicians to share your opinions on the best BF deals too, join in!

 

Best deal of the season

Buy AKG mic at Thomann and get Lexicon Reverb Bundle (iLok) as a gift

You can get a hardware mic for as low as $65 and grab a legendary Lexicon reverbs software bundle for free (worthing hundreds). This is the only deal I caved so far, and it totally works

Thomann-AKG-Lexicon deal: buy AKG mic and get Lexicon Reverb Bundle for free

Anemond Granular Design Stack is $49
Includes Sloom, Factoid 2 and FactorSynth 3

Not only all-time low, but an almost insane deal on insane plugins

https://www.adsrsounds.com/product/software/anemond-granular-design-stack-black-friday-bundle

 

Anukari 3D physics synth is $39 instead of regular $140 (72% off) through December 4

"Drag and drop physics components like masses and springs to design your own 3D instrument or effect. See and hear what you've built in real time" (MPE support and Mick Gordon's praise included). I started following this project since the early development, and sadly for me, it was a Windows-only one. Well, now they are in beta, released a Mac version, and their BF offer is surely the lowest compared to the year prices/sales

Audio Damage extra discount code FOCUSRITEPICDUB

E.g. brings the exceptional Audio Damage Other Desert Cities delay down to $35 instead of $55 (which was already discounted from $79). Works once per account, so use carefully

https://www.audiodamage.com

 

AudioThing Megaphone is $5 — until November 30

Since Pitch Innovations offer vanished, I think of this deal as a best way to get "free with a purchase" things at Plugin Boutique, which include at the moment Lunacy Time, IK Multimedia MixBox, Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo, Bloom Vocal Edit Lite, or Native Instruments Massive. And AudioThing plugins are always a pleasure by themselves

https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/44-Saturation/3308-Megaphone?a_aid=66fd59ee09bb9

 

DDMF Plugin Doctor is $17.55 with the code BFCM10

Honestly, this VST can save you thousands if you learn how to use it. Let's say you want to compare an FX plugin that's on sale with the one you already own — this thing will allow you to do that, so you'd know where's the real difference and where's just a loudness trick or simply pure GAS

Klevgrand Speldosa music box is $5 with the code SANJAY5, plus you get Klevgrand Rum room simulator as a gift
https://klevgrand.com/products/speldosa

 

Modalics Beat Scholar is $33.35

Powerful and innovative drum plugin at its all-time low price

https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Modalics-Beat-Scholar/6G8B

 

Reveal Sound Spire synth is $63 with the code GROUP

Never seen it being this cheap, usually it’s $99 on sales

https://www.jrrshop.com/reveal-sound-spire.html

 

Soundtoys 5.5 Bundle is $213, Effect Rack is $88 with the code FORUM (iLok)

https://www.jrrshop.com/soundtoys-5.html
https://www.jrrshop.com/soundtoys-effect-rack.html

 

u-he Diva + 3 soundpacks by Tom Wolfe are $79 with the code FORUM

Tom's packs are usually exceptional and highly-priced

https://www.jrrshop.com/u-he-diva-tom-wolfe-bundle.html

 

u-he — 50% off plus extra 10% off with code BFCM10
Examples: Diva $80
Repro, Hive 2 $67.50
Bazille, Presswerk, Satin $58.50
Twangström $31.50 and so on

Unlike the previous BF season, this time u-he prices are really good. Repro and Diva synths are totally worth it, top-notch OGs

https://audiodeluxe.com/collections/u-he?sca_ref=9905602.8KvuZSaQ9x

 

W.A. Production ‘Must Have Tools Bundle 3’ is $49
Includes: KickShaper, VocalShaper, Deres, Dynawide, RedClip, BassShaper, Detroubler, BeatQuake, MixBoss, Ignition, ChromaBox

I’m not a big fan of W.A., but their “Shaper” series plugins are kinda great, and they are included here, so that’s good value here

https://www.waproduction.com/bundles/view/must-have-tools-bundle-3

 

Zynaptiq Adaptiverb, Wormhole, Pitchmap, Morph 3, Punch, Intensity 2, Balance, Unmix:Drums, Orange Vocoder IV, Pitchshift are $71 each with the code BFCM10

Others are on sale too, seem to be all-time lows

Freebies

Antelope Audio MG4+ is free until November 30 (iLok)

6-band equalizer modeled after the classic Maag EQ4 Series 500 module

https://en.antelopeaudio.com/free-plugin-claim

 

Crush Audio Crush FX (iLok)

Seems to be a convenient multi-FX, they just didn't sell the idea at all: no demos, not even a detailed description or just a plain list of all the algos and features on the website. It has two types of reverb, distortion and bitcrusher, a grain glitch effect, pitch shifter, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay... 5 of them can be used in parallel, plus simple transient controls, low- and high-cuts, and a compressor/clipper on top… I'd say for a beginner that's crazy good — just to have it all on one panel to start understanding how these things work and how they differ

https://crushaudio.com/products/crush-fx

 

Eventide Temperance Lite reverb is free until December 31 (iLok)

https://www.eventideaudio.com/plug-ins/temperance-lite

 

Knock Clipper is free — limited time
https://knockaudio.com/knock-clipper

 

Lunacy Audio Cube Mini — until December 31

Consider this as your chance to upgrade to full Cube synth later, which I did some years ago. It is a great and unique thing, though not the Mini version (pretty limited)

https://lunacy.audio/products/cube-mini

 

Melda Production MbitfunMB with the code WRUBF25 — limited time
https://www.meldaproduction.com/MBitFunMB

 

MixWave Overdrive (a Tube Screamer pedal) is free — limited time (lLok)

When it comes to emulating hardware in plugins, MixWave are IMO indisputable current champions

Process Audio Protility mixing tool

PSP Spector

31-band spectrum analyser
