Hi all. Quick intro: I've been into music and audio production since the Commodore 64 days back in the late 1980's, then moving to Atari ST and Amiga - chiptunes and mod trackers, all the way through to today. Part of that journey, alongside the music production side, has been programming. I've been a software developer, engineer and architect for the last 36 years, professionally, and still am. I have developed custom plugins for my music producer friends, and are now polishing some of these up, altering them a bit, and releasing them over @ The Asylum. I'm also thinking about how to help the community with some free / very reasonably priced stuff (I very much have bills to pay as well :) ). Demand for a friendly Linux DAW seems quite high, but I have little experience with Linux programming. Before anyone asks - yes I do use AI to assist with coding - this helps me be hyper productive in the limited free time I love to work on audio plugins/synths etc. It also helps very much with the art and design. I'm a programmer not a painter :) Hope this post is ok - I certainly plan to post more updates etc. soon. Cheers. Simon / The Asylum
Congratulations on getting the first releases out. For plug-ins aimed at friends and the wider community, a short test routine pays off, so try each one at several sample rates and buffer sizes and in more than one host. Clear notes on formats, install location and any known limits also save new users a lot of guesswork. Keeping presets simple and well named helps people get a good result in the first few minutes.
