Sell Synthmaker generated VST's?

skOre · 5 Jul 2005

just wheres that 5+ pages thread about this issue...

Ah! Look! There it is!

An informative read, but that still doesn't answer my first question. Is it known what the license included with Synthmaker will look like. For instance do you have to pay 10% of every sold copy of a VST to Outsim?

Do you bollox, Outsim have been clear upto this point that what you make is yours as long as you made it.

I think we can safely assume that if SE and C++ an Delphi dont require a licence fee then why should Outsim, They would have an exact number of users NONE.

If licence fees come in at some stage i wont be here long to talk about it i will be too busy using SE and C++ 🙂

Thats not a dig at Outsim because to be perfectly honest i dont think they would be stupid enough to try and charge a customer a licence fee to sell there product.

However stripped down versions and demo versions i have no idea about sorry 🙁

I do however think that as SM matures it will need a hike in price and maybe a stranded approach (some people may never use the save as vst and if they do may never release a plug, Why should this person pay as much as me when i fully intend to release commercial plugs until the day i die) , As always Outsim will probably come up with the perfect solution 😉

Hi fdner,

There won't be any license fee so don't worry you will be able to create plugins and sell them if you want.

Thank you malc.

Well i think Malc and Jorge should put a donate option on the website or something so anyone making money from plugins can help them out a bit in return if they want to.

I think it would be better if you had to buy a new licence for each commercial release.

This is the way i work with SE already and will do so with SM if they implement it or not 🙂

Tom7777 · 7 Jul 2005

NAS do you have a website with plugins you have made?

Nu Audio Science · 7 Jul 2005

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 It's a long story why it's currently no (Ask Malc) The new website will be up in a few weeks (Should have one or two commercial plugs) Keep in mind that i just spent a year getting a plug ready that is never going to be released

Tom7777 · 7 Jul 2005

Ah ok NAS 🙂 im sure they will be great 🙂

It's a long story why it's currently no (Ask Malc)

Is Malc making plugins with you or something then?

Nu Audio Science · 7 Jul 2005

No we just had a little chat about the greedy world that is the music biz 😉

Tom7777 · 7 Jul 2005

Ahh ok, well you probably know how i feel about it from all of my posts on the subject of selling plugins, possibly the same opinion as you i guess.

Nu Audio Science · 7 Jul 2005

Problem is that now that the wave file component is kicking in it looks like i could build em better in SM, I have to stop at some point though and think just do it in V2 or something 🙁

I've got finished plugs that have been on my drive for a year and more, We didn't release them because the person we were in partnership with thought they would cut into his sales 🙁
