UAD has announced a giveaway where you can get a Universal Audio plugin for free only during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend.
It’s finally Black Friday. The day with the best plugin deals. It’s also the plugin giveaway festival with the most free plugins of the year.
Today, UAD launched a giveaway where you can grab a commercial plugin from a selection of options for free from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, no strings attached.
UAD Giveaway
To benefit from this deal, you don’t have to do much. First, check your watch and make sure you’re reading this between Thanksgiving (November 27, 2025) and Cyber Monday (December 1, 2025). This deal is only valid during this period.
Then, you need a Universal Audio account to register your free plugin. In the next step, you can finally choose your free plugin from the following 10 plugins, using the coupon code BFPICK1FREE at checkout:
- 1176 Classic FET Compressor
- Century Tube Channel Strip
- Galaxy Tape Echo
- Oxide Tape Recorder
- PolyMAX Synth
- Pultec Passive EQ Collection
- Pure Plate Reverb
- Showtime ‘64
- Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor
- Verve Analog Machines Essentials
A subtractive Synthesizer, classic effects, or a helpful mixing and mastering tool. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or a professional.
If you don’t already have a UAD synthesizer, I would recommend the PolyMAX synth; otherwise, the Roland Space Echo 201 emulation is also a great choice.
Or if you love the sound of vintage analog gear, you can also pick the Verve Analog Machines Essentials. It’s a plugin with four machines that add analog-style sound to your recordings.
Some of these plugins are regularly available for free, but others haven’t been available before. So it’s worth participating.
The UAD giveaway runs from Thursday, November 27, 2025, to Monday, December 1, 2025. It is limited to one participation. They run as a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows.
