Hi,
Here is a cool Knob kit for all of the developers. They are all designed by me, so feel free to use them.

Enjoy

3 BAND FREQUENCY SPLITTER

Hello Hise community

I've made a 3 band frequency splitter fx unit and I'm sharing it with you. You can use it for multiband compresors or other similar multiband fx stuff.
I've used Bessel Crossover Filter Coefficients for removing frequency cancellation that occurs while frequencies are splitted.

Cheers ;) :)

To be continued....

@rj-and-me
Let me explain this with images;

When you download VST sdk from Steinberg, the folder comes like this....

As you see, there is a VST3_SDK folder. You need to remove "_" sign and give a space. So the new name will be like this:

Copy this "VST3 SDK" folder to Hise-master > tools > SDK folder. So Hise-master > tools > SDK folder will be like this:

As you see, you also need to download ASIOSDK2.3 from Steinberg too. And it's name must be like in the photo. (you don't need to download AAX SDK if you don't want to make AAX plugins.)

I hope it's clear. :)

And believe in me, I don't understand what you are talking about sometimes in what you write :) You can use Google translate my friend :)

@Lindon I haven't used Sendy yet, but I am using Amazon SES. You should use Amazon SES too.

AFAIK, it is the cheapest one. Sending emails to over 100,000 contacts costs over $800 with competitors like MailChimp. But with Amazon SES, it might not even cost $20 :D

I am combining Amazon SES with the Newsletter plugin. But as @David-Healey says, Fluent CRM is better.

Here is a simple Gate unit with a reduction VU meter on the GUI ;) I think it would be useful...

Hello everyone.
I just think that it would be so usefull to build a database for the troubleshooting of HISE exported plugins/instruments. We can share the issue that we've experienced and it's solution from here. So you can give this information to your customers / users who has this specific issues .
I will post the experiences that my beta tester's had; and their solutions. Please feel free to share if you know a issue and it's solution.

@d-healey This showcase is great. Here are the brands I can think of missing:

Korneff Audio
Kiive Audio
Thenatan
Auddict

Does anyone have any knowledge about this?

@alexaudio10 I've made a positive comment on GearSlutz ;) Congrats!

@d-healey Yes you are right in most cases. But subscription method is a very useful way for a customer and a company that has 100 products for example. Software company serves this 100 products to the customers usage with just $5 or $10 in a month. (Normally it costs thousands of dolalars if you want to buy them)

Also users can pay as long as the usage. And the account can be freezed whenever the customer want.

I think this payment strategy is the future. Besides, we can make the customer choose the way they want. One time fee or monthly subscription. Some people prefer subscription method.

With that way, software companies will be able to earn much more money because of the bulk customer amount. With this way customers will be more happy because of the huge amount of software usage with such a low cost. With this way, the cracked softwares will be history. There is no way to crack. There is need to crack, because softwares will be so cheap ;) :)

@Christoph-Hart Have you had a chance to look at this? The last fix doesn't seem to have worked. Maybe it's something simple?

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

I think what's being overlooked here is focusing only on current capabilities.

Let's not forget that this is just the beginning. Think ten years from now. Consider the future of machine learning, the DSP code that will be produced with AI, and other features.

Yes it is not today, but it will be in the future.

@David-Healey it should be one day, but not today

@Christoph-Hart said in Neural node bug on HardocdedFX as embedded:

@resonant fixed now. The problem was that it tried to load the network in the hardcoded FX before the first script compilation so it couldn't find it and there was an uncatched exception.

Unfortunately, the same problem persists. Hise still freezes while loading the project.
I've just compiled the latest commit with the latest Juce 6 submodule.

@dannytaurus Your concern about not upsetting subscribers is justified. But you can overcome this with a good email marketing plan. People who don't want emails will unsubscribe anyway.

But I think keeping an up-to-date and active list is much more important, so you need to manage your email campaigns well.

• You can send monthly discount coupons (every month) to those who make purchases. Additionally, a one-time fresh thank you coupon code for users who make a purchase would also do the trick.

• Flash sale emails (monthly or weekly if you have too many products).

• If you create blog posts or videos (useful content for users), emails related to these will get good engagement.

• You can send emails encouraging reviews (even offering discount coupons in exchange for reviews).

• You can also send special launch campaign emails for new products, user reviews, etc.

If the email content is somehow useful for users, I think you shouldn't worry about those who unsubscribe; as they are gradually eliminated, you will build a core, active audience.

@Lindon said in Taking my Mailing list seriously, so a first question....:

@David-Healey yep just found that myself... loks like I will need to upgrade TheNewsltter to Professional ...

Yes, you need to upgrade to pro. After upgrading, you'll need to install the Amazon SES plugin too and obtain data like the Access Key ID, Secret Access Key...etc. from Amazon SES.

The installation is a bit cumbersome, but once it's installed, it's definitely worth it.

@Lindon I haven't used Sendy yet, but I am using Amazon SES. You should use Amazon SES too.

AFAIK, it is the cheapest one. Sending emails to over 100,000 contacts costs over $800 with competitors like MailChimp. But with Amazon SES, it might not even cost $20 :D
