@d-healey This is really helpful info David. Much appreciated. Thanks.
-
@CyberGen Few developers would disclose this information. @d-healey is a good role model, and knows his stuff.

True, though I believe it benefits us all. Tho more we share the better. If there is enough interest, maybe we could conduct it using an anonymous form—a developer-sourced audio tool market study? Just a thought.

@CyberGen said in Next HISE Developer Hang:
- What kind of tools do you release?
Currently Sample Libraries and effects, tho I have a couple of developers licensing functionality from me, and Im thinking about expanding that into a "proper" product set - examples: an in-plugin download/install system (that @clevername27 has kindly mentioned here before), a file based authorisation system, a macro system, a tag based preset system etc.
- Which ones have sold well, and which haven’t?
Well like David I started out in the kontakt world and some of those products are 10+ years old so they have the highest numbers. Generally I cant see much difference between sample libraries and effects in terms of sales numbers - but it all price dependent
- How many units has your top-selling product sold?
Grief I have no ide maybe a coupe of thousand over a looong period, like David the free stuff gets down loaded a LOT
- What pitfalls would you warn against?
Know your market/customers. I would say its a bad bad bad idea to think you will sell nearly anything if its just from your own web presence - so get as many distribution deals as you can, and get your pricing right.
- I imagine most companies are one-person operations, but do you hire help occasionally?
VERY occasionally - I used to hire a graphic designer - but now its all vector based so I do everything in-house.
- What other tools (besides HISE) do you rely on in your workflow to release a product?
Gimp, Inkscape, Sublime Text, Bulk Rename Utility, Audient, Python, NI Kontakt, NI Creator Tools, auval, pluginval
- Which services and fees do you pay monthly or yearly to keep things running?
Just the web presence and online download/storage
- What kind of copy protection do you use, if any?
I use every type - none, file/number based and call-home it depends on who the distributor is and the type of product
- Do you release for mobile platforms?
No.
- What DAWs do you prioritize or release for?
Well first it HAS to work on Reaper, then I look at the problem children FL Studio and Logic then everything else Cubase, Live etc.
- What back-end servers do you use?
I use pCloud for storage
- What is your pricing model: one-time purchase, subscription, or something else?
One time purchase.
- How do you advertise? Do you create your own ads or pay "content creators"?
I dont. I leave that to the distributors, however the email list is a must.
- Which platforms have yielded the best results, and which ones have been a waste of money?
cant say
I'm looking forward to the meet.
Sorry I wont be there...
