I can link your plugins... but you could'nt reply to reviews and manage versions. 😉 Do you want i add your listing 4 you? It was cool if the owner add is own listing but is not a problem. 😍

Hi.

I will add my plug-ins to your database however it will take some time. Many of us created websites or blogs for our plug-ins. Websites like Rekkerd, Sonic State and, non-english recording/mastering sites will just copy what is on our websites/blogs and leave pings.

Cheers!

CoreStyler · 1 Sept 2010

Yes. i know how these site works! But, i think that with a feedback from users the directory is more cool. 🙂 If you have to put 10-15 plugins it can be long. But for any item it will take 1-2 minutes. Just isert image/s, version, email, website, url of the page, format, OS, avaiable soundformats readable if any.

I prefer not a blog entry with informations, but a complete database with owners feedback and managing. the same thing of the JED, for the joomla CMS. http://extensions.joomla.org/ Where developers put their extensions in the listing. In a place like this programmers can have feedback in their plugs and also be readable by all users.

If a casual user not know redderk for example, will never go in there to find something. but simple search in google the keywords eg. "Guitar amps freeware".

The mission of MAD, is there that the producers of digital music going to MAD for finding what they are searching. Check updates, new plugins, reviews by other musicians. When MAD database is big, i'm sure that a very large part of internet musicians will come directly for searching about plugin. Its like KVR Audio. Also if KVR is very famous it is not very simple to view and search.

Hi.

I can see you have your heart in this project so I will be honest with you. Offering plug-ins to the public is on the brink of ending shortly for I am going to incorporate Synthmaker plug-ins in hardware devices.

My experience with KVR is a lot of chatter with no downloads. It goes against the motive behind offering free plug-ins to begin with. This is why I just post in the free plug-ins roundup from time to time informing those who are interested to visit my blog. Sonic State, Rekkard, and lots of other non-english wordpress blogs are the ones responsible for my plug-ins being downloaded on a daily basis. I've already conducted numerous test to confirm this.

If I hadn’t invested so much time, in creating frequency charts and video demonstrations of my plug-ins on my blog, I would devote some time in putting my plug-ins on your website. However, I just do not have the time go through the process you are requesting with my previous-to-date plug-ins.

I will be releasing another plug-in by mid-September. I will happily put that one on your site and, any others that follows after.

Cheers!

So.. i will add some plugins of 3rd party developers such as Synthmaker community dev. There is the possibility to "Claim" own softwares. If you are registered, just claim for your listing and it will be converted to your account.! 🙂

I added some Nix plugs. Can i have some other links of your's?

Dell · 7 Sept 2010

Hi.

I did not register yet. I was planning to upon typing in the information of my next plug-in on your website.

Here is my blog...

Cheers!

Dell · 17 Sept 2010

Hi.

Possibly you can direct me where I can register?

-Is it possible to give you links or Do you have to host the files? -If you have to host, Do you track download stats, if so, What kind of information is gleaned. Like, do you track country the download is going to for example? -If you do not track download stats, will you?

Thanks

Yes if you add "file" the "hosted file" you can see your download stats. Other things are views, ratings a and reviews. If your plug is commercial you will see the increasing of selling or your stats.

Another thing that i dont say here is that you can also sell your vst in my shop, store on samples-share and nuclearsoundsamples. So, if you want asking me you can sell and have your return trhough paypal.. you'll se the sales in your profile.

McBarGig · 20 Sept 2010

Thanks Corestyler...

Then sure as long as we can get download stats, thats really all that matters to us. As far as selling, we have our own store so that would not be required, although we can talk about it. So what is your preference? Would you rather host them,. or do you want us to host them. We can still provide you with direct download links..Either way, not a big deal to me, as I say, the only thing we care about is the download stats..

CoreStyler · 23 Sept 2010

I prefer to not host the plugs.. 😮 So just because someone maybe is big.. (if is not more longer 5-7mb ok). I added now the display of visits on the view:

I dont belive that downloads stats are very needed. What the web 2.0 offer to us is the Search-Friendly systems.

Try to type Hardcore Kicks on google!!! look at this.. The MAD reached the 1rst place even if the database for now is very small.!!

Also on yahoo reach 2nd position!

Imagine that a producer is searching an equlizer for Dance Leads. In your metadata provide the information of your eq "cool for dance leads, bass, etc... You will be find easy, and that is the web 2.0 marketing soul.

Acrobat · 12 Mar 2011

Building his own site is the only way for a programmer to track the real download count, and eventually create or publish a .pdf proof of the stats for insertionists, publications, or possible investors. 😉

CoreStyler · 13 Mar 2011

MAD do not means that your release your plug in it! You can only insert images, descriptions, videos and informations about your synth/effect. Then you are listed in the database and you can put your own website page! so people can know easily about your stuff then go to your website.

But if you add your file into the File field. you will able to track how many downloads your plug made
