The F6 floating-band Dynamic EQ Black Friday deal from Waves takes 76% off, bringing the plugin to $34.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
F6 is a dynamic EQ plugin, and the maker calls it a problem-solving EQ. A regular parametric band boosts or cuts the same amount all the time. An F6 band only acts when the level inside that band crosses a threshold you set.
That makes it useful on material whose tone shifts during a take. The maker's own example is a singer who moves back from the mic and starts belting: a static setting tuned for the quiet, close part stops fitting. F6 follows the performance instead, working when the vocal passes the threshold and easing off when it drops below.
The core is six floating bands of parametric EQ, each with its own dynamics. Waves describes it as a blend of multiband dynamics and EQ.
The maker pitches F6 at isolating one problem on an individual track and fixing it transparently, only when it pops out. A harsh note or a resonance that appears on certain phrases can be dealt with while the rest of the performance stays untouched.
The mid-side options add another angle. Setting a band to work on the mids or the sides alone lets you carve out space in a busy mix, and Waves says this brings more life to the result.
Sidechain control opens a second route. With an external sidechain, a band can respond to a different signal than the one it is processing, and the two response modes change how that detection behaves.
On Mac, F6 supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 76% off F6 and brings it to $34.99. The offer ends Nov 26, 2026. F6 is a dynamic EQ plugin from Waves with six floating parametric bands.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX, supporting macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On Windows 10 or later it comes as VST and AAX.
Each band applies its EQ change only when the level inside that band passes a threshold you set. Below the threshold it eases off. The maker says this lets the EQ follow the music's dynamics instead of applying a static boost or cut.
Six floating parametric bands with peak, high-shelf or low-shelf response, plus highpass and lowpass filters at 6 to 24 dB/octave. It also has internal or external sidechain, stereo, mid or sides processing, and a global mix control.
