The Greg Wells PianoCentric Black Friday deal from Waves takes 76% off this multi-effect plugin for mixing piano and keyboards, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
PianoCentric is a Waves plugin built to help piano and other keyboard instruments sit in a mix. It was made with Grammy-winning producer/mixer Greg Wells, whose credits include Adele, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and John Legend.
The maker's pitch is that piano is hard to record and harder to mix, especially in a busy arrangement. It covers a wide span of frequencies and dynamics, so finding its spot can be a fight.
Wells is a professional pianist himself. He says he put every studio technique he has learned for making piano sound great in a mix into this one plugin.
One main control moves across a continuum of sounds, from dark and lo-fi, through neutral, to bright and punchy. That lets a keyboard either lay back or push forward.
Turn it clockwise for a brighter, punchier tone that lifts the piano in the mix. Turn it counter-clockwise for darker sounds that embed the piano further into the track.
Wells describes the far-left end as sounding like an old bullet microphone sitting inside the piano: lo-fi and a little crunchy.
The Delay locks to your session tempo, so repeats stay in time as you move through the arrangement.
Because the character is set by a single knob, you can automate it across a song. A darker, tucked-in piano in the verse can open up to something brighter and punchier for the chorus.
On Mac, PianoCentric runs on 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 as VST and AAX. There is no AU on Windows.
