Hi, I'm new here and have a few questions before I buy Synthmaker:
1. Is SM as good as C programming plugs? 2. Is porting C code as easy as somebody on that forum post a while ago 3. what about selling plugins? how much can be claimed for a plugin license in reality?
I've done some work with the free version already and I'm a little impressed about the features.
what is your expirience report to the pro versions?
thanks

1. No; SM is 32bit Windows VST only, which means you are missing access to 2/3 of the audio platforms out there (64bit, OSX, iOS) 2. Porting simple C filters is not too hard in SM. [old link] 3. In reality; I don't know of any SM plugs that sold many licenses at a decent price. The only one I know off that had a moderate price (& was seriously UNDER-valued IMHO) had it sales fall off like a cliff once it hit the warz cult, after a few weeks. In the end, I think they made about 0.10/hour considering all the freeware they gave away before to build up a following.
SM is good at brainstorming ideas, & helping to convert SM's semi-C Code into ASM, which is portable on Intel platforms.

Regarding (3). I guess it would work better with dedicated markets instead of mainstream audio. Thus - very specific ideas, and not "yet another wonderful delay or EQ".

Thank you for this essential question and a good and detailed answer! I got the same one, and good for me I didn't start a new topic, as far as there are all the necessary answers here! 🙂
