From essentials like reverb, compression, noise reduction, and EQ to modeled analog hardware, surround and post production tools, artist signature collections and beyond, Waves Bundles feature the best of Waves GRAMMY award-winning plugins. Waves All Plugins Bundle 2017 v9 + KeyGen is an imposing bundle loaded with some powerful audio plugins which will let you customize your music easily. In addition, the plugins include compressors, equalizers and some noise reduction tools.

The Waves folder stay on the desktop (C: Users wobbles Desktop Waves), which allows me to add plugins from Waves as needed. With a Waves account, you log on, select plugin(s) or bundles, choose get demo, run Waves Central, log in, create off-line installer, choose platform Mac/Windows, choose where to install, select plugins from list & install.
Run patch and open DAW.
