The Abbey Road Vinyl Black Friday deal from Waves cuts 79% off, which sets this vinyl plugin at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Abbey Road Vinyl is a saturation plugin built to put your audio through the whole vinyl process. Waves made it in close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios.
The maker says it models every stage, from cutting the lacquer to the pressing plant to playback on a worn record.
The plugin lets you shape each stage of the vinyl chain as its own control. You can use it while producing, mixing or mastering.
Waves says the way vinyl glues tracks together is part of the appeal, along with the freedom to push every step of the process further than a real record would allow.
Your signal can also run through Abbey Road's EMI TG12410 mastering desk.
Here is what the maker lists:
The range runs from clean and audiophile-minded to rough and club-ready, as Waves puts it.
The tone arm control changes both distortion and frequency response, so it works as a tone knob as well as an effect. The stop effect can be timed to the beat, which suits transitions and breakdowns.
The Lite components are there for CPU-hungry sessions, so you can keep several instances open without bogging the project down.
On Mac, the plugin runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. Formats are VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, you need Windows 10 or later. Formats are VST and AAX.
