@clevername27 said in WhiteBox Packages Nightmare on Sonoma:

@Lindon Your installer is dope, and very cool.

why thanks. I built it because Sample based instruments of any sophistication will need a whole bunch of different data to be stored in different places:

The plugin in its correct folder (white box and package builder are good at this bit) The "app data folder" - for stuff like meta data The presets folder - which is in the AppData folder the Expansions folder - ditto above the sample data folder - and its friend the LinkFile which needs completing...

In a "just open one thing once and get it all done" approach the "commercial" installers are not really set up to do this stuff without learning a whole bunch of scripting(and really why should they be...) so building my own was the only option.

@dannytaurus This is 100% true. Our data and research show that music producers prefer interactive chord tools to chord packs. Chord packs are considered lazy.

What we've seen with AI is companies like Lemonaide training their models to let users generate chords with a single click, but these models take a long time to train.

Our approach is quite different. We want to use AI to help producers learn music theory as they produce.

Thanks!

@Christoph-Hart Sounds good to me

Encountered nan as well in some occasion

@Lindon That was funny 😆 I hope this stays true for many decades to come—I'm definitely not an AI fan.

@Lindon My subscriber list for my Plugins are roughly the same as yours (around 18k). Ill be as open and honest about what Ive done, results, etc since beginning my current plugin company 1 year ago.

My main focus for marketing is collecting emails. I do this in various channels (resellers, free giveaways, exclusive blog discounts, affiliates, etc).

Whenever I have a new release, my email subscribers get it first. Whenever I have a deal/bundle/sale, my email subscribers hear about it first and/or get a special/addional discount.

Any purchase recieves a thank you along with he downloads.

Some amount of time later, usually 5-7 days, i automate an email checking in on how they like the product and if they would leave a review. Leaving a review gets you a small discount/gift card to be used in the store.

As far as campaigns, it depends on what Im aiming for. A new release will get "hype" emails, 1-2/week, for a couple weeks. Then the actual launch and deal will recive 2 emails/week. The final 48 hours receive 2 emails as well for urgency purposes.

Bundles, deals and sale may get a similar treatment just less "hype".

My audience is pretty used to my email format and layout. Im usually pretty straight to the point with a bit of sarcasm. I think being yourself and not bullshitting is pretty important.

I typically can make $2000-$4000 from my email list each release/deal. These deals are usually 2 week periods.

Hopefully something in this ramble while im rocking my daughter to sleep s helpful.

The how to compile HISE videos of the Bootcamp have now all been updated to cover the recent changes to the HISE source code structure. I've also updated the cheat sheets.

@HISEnberg Yes. I ended up increasing the range by using a slider in the uI to set the upper limit. (In the property editor for the slider set 1 for +12, 2 for +24 and so on) Though pushing it much past +24 causes the sound to cut out here..

@dannytaurus @resonant Thanks!

What was the fix?
I’m having the same issue.. I’ve cleared everything and the global appdata checkbox is unchecked…but it seems the appdata file is not being created.

@noah You'd need to make a custom implementation using a combo box and scripting. The build in preset browser can't be turned into a combo box.

@Christoph-Hart
Merci 🙂

@Christoph-Hart this sounds amazing

@toxonic an au plug-in, I noticed every time I try to compile from my discs it give me issues, I think I will transfer everything to my desktop to see if from there it it export as usual, it was fine until I moved everything to my disc, I will let you know here
