With Waves announcing Waves Access, the audio community started looking for alternatives that aren’t tied to subscription models.
On r/audioengineering/, a bunch of people came up with this list. Shoutout to them for their impressive work.
This table is restricted to 3 alternatives per plugin due to space limits, you can find more at the google sheet I copied this from.
