Holy cow! Thank you for such a comprehensive comparison. I wanted to provide some additional info as well as a little bit of correction based on my own experience. I used to be on gumroad, migrated to payhip, and then subsequently reached out to payhip's support team after danny's post on another separate thread and I thought I'd share:

Migration from other platforms: Payhip does offer help with moving product listings over from Gumroad. In my case, they used my Gumroad store URL to recreate the listings on Payhip for free. My understanding is that they copied the text and images from the public pages. You still need to upload the actual product files yourself so this isn’t a full account migration with customers & order data. They actually even offered to "fully furnish" my store too (for free), but I decided to do that myself

Sales taxes: I am aware that Payhip automatically collects and remits sales tax/VAT for the US, Canada, UK and EU as a marketplace facilitator (not MOR). Outside those regions, you’d need to work out your obligations and handle any required collection and remittance yourself. You can configure custom tax rates in your payhip dashboard, but that doesn’t take care of registration or filing for you.
Is this set up accountant-proofed? Yes, but I’m in Canada so I can't speak for other countries. I’ve checked my own setup with my accountant, everything is a okay.
I’ve only opened my store to the US, Canada, UK and EU so far, so the payhip automatic tax handling coverage hasn’t been an issue for me yet. But Danny's point about 15% of sales coming from elsewhere definitely makes me curious about what I might be missing xD I would love some extra $$$$ and I'm looking to see if I can just open up a few extra countries with my current set up so I don't have to do a full migration elsewhere

Marketplace facilitator vs MOR: If you're like me and your head is spinning with all these jargons, I also asked Payhip’s support team about the tradeoffs between their setup and an MoR. Obviously their answer would be biased, but here's what they said: An MOR handling refunds and disputes doesn’t necessarily mean the seller avoids all the costs. You'd still to check each provider’s refund fees, chargeback terms, payout schedule and reserve policy.
My personal finding on this is that: e.g. Gumroad has a $100 minimum payout balance. This is likely because they are an MoR and need to cover their sellers' refunds and chargebacks when they happen. I also noticed that Paddle also has a minimum payout of $100 and the payouts aren't instant either i.e. only on the 2nd and 15th of every month

Lemon Squeezy: I agree. I think this company is being phased out. I have been following with them when I was first looking to move away from gumroad and their Twitter/X account is filled with only motivational quotes for YEARS now xD I don't see any notable new features at all since the acquisition. That's definitely not a good sign. I would AVOID!

You’ve got me curious about Polar and Moonbase now. Would be interested to hear how the actual checkout and customer experience compares once you’ve tried them. Please update 🙏

@justmull said in Opening plugin UI disables active automation in Ableton Live:

I haven't noticed any other side effects so far 🤞

it also just said this

I haven't been able to test it in Live myself. If it still freezes, the forum's JUCE patch is the fallback, as long as you accept that it can stop knob moves in the plugin UI from being recorded.

Which implies that maybe your fix would not allow for motion recording of the knobs

@cartemtune thanks folks! So Australia, New Zealand, and Japan seem to be the countries that I need to take a look at. I actually can easily unblock these countries on my store and set up custom tax rates on my store so I can at least collect the taxes, but I definitely need to do more research on how to remit them correctly. maybe after that then I'll start thinking about moving to an MOR if I need to. I'm just already so cozy here lol migrating platforms is so much work :')

@dannytaurus Thank you so much!

Started the process and Whish me LUCK :)

@resonant Yes sir im using A1, A2 isn't working for me at all it just crashes everytime when i try to load it, apparently its something to do with the top level architecture of A2 being SlimmableContainer which HISE isn't liking and A1 being top level WaveNet which works fine! Any ideas if im doing something wrong there?

@dannytaurus Haha, well I looked into it anyway. Seems like I have to use Wise assets to get the interest thingy, I checked with the bank I use for my savings account and if I open a new account I get 4% there, so that's what I did :)

@David-Healey Thank :)

@David-Healey Thank you for doing this. It really helps me in my Hise Sampler quest!

@Christoph-Hart Ok so thanks (or not) to Claude I could implement it fully after fixing many bugs. Obviously, this certainly has some AI non sense and I would be interested in your insight 😉

But it works a treat in context!

Here's the PR: https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/1055

And a more readable bug fix report than the MarkDown: https://gold-reggie-20.tiiny.site/

The problem with Kontakt was never really the software. It was the ecosystem (native access), NI's licensing, ads in the home screen, and the proprietary source code meaning developers had no control over the software.

Koda might solve some of those issues, but it seems to me that the main one - control - is why most of the big developers left Kontakt to create their own samplers, and Koda won't solve that. Others have tried, Gorilla engine, Decent Sampler, Falcon, etc. Developers want control and you either use an open system like HISE or you build your own proprietary system.

FOUN IT . thanks.

Nice... Congrats !👍
But how can we export looped samples ? Piano/ pluck sampling is very easy.

@gp_ it seems to happen when you disconnect or change an interface Hise had in memory when it’s close, then when you start it again it doesn’t find it and throws this warning.

Since when Hise has an issue or crashes it doesn’t rewrite the memory, it will happen next time again and again. The same thing happens with the window configuration since it is saved only with a proper close without issues, recalling an old window configuration (this time without a warning like the audio interface one)

Instead, Hise should save the configuration (audio, midi, windows, etc) as they change and not when closing the app.

But usually for the interface if the configuration doesn’t change between Hise sessions the warning should just go away

@shashwatshukla I think I'm the only person using this feature so the info I gave you is probably all there is.

@dannytaurus I don't know, I was just told Golden Gate, it's not my customer it's a third-party's

@marceau-dng said in Not finding LoadNAMModel:

I installed the latest version with the launcher btw

Build from source

@David-Healey Thanks ,appreciate it!

Wow congrats bro! I can't wait to try it

@cartemtune Thanks, none of these are ai btw 😊
But I get it AI is all over the place...
