The Grand Masters Collection Black Friday deal takes 83% off this Waves mastering suite, bringing it to $194.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Grand Masters is a Pro Mastering Tools collection of 17 plugins for the final stage of a record. Waves describes it as spanning traditional mastering, from the character of tubes and transformers in vintage gear to the clarity of digital processing.
The maker says it suits hip-hop, modern country, classical string quartets, electronic music and rock, for subtle enhancement or precise adjustment.
The list covers limiters, equalizers, compressors and metering:
That is five L3 variants alongside the L2, so you can pick the maximizer that suits the job.
The linear-phase EQ and multiband compressor are described by Waves as ultra-transparent. They sit at the surgical end of the signal chain.
The V-series compressor and EQs are there for the vintage side, and the PuigTec EQs are Waves' emulations of Pultec's mastering processors.
For loudness and dynamic control, you get multiple maximizers. Waves says they deliver clarity, power and precise control.
The Dorrough Stereo plugin brings the maker's diagnostic metering into the plugin set.
For vinyl, the Center plugin and the low-frequency tools let you shape the low end and the center channel, which Waves highlights for mastering to vinyl.
The maker also points to options for putting your own signature on a master, beyond the traditional techniques.
On Mac, the plugins run on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, you need Windows 10 or later, with VST and AAX formats.
If your DAW hosts VST, AU or AAX plugins, the Grand Masters plugins load there on the matching platform.
