Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on best practices for making a mac installer.

I recently completed my first sampled instrument plugin, and on windows I've created a very elegant installer. Using Inno Setup, I've created an installer that prompts the user to select a sample folder, then automatically unpacks all the audio samples to that directory, and generates a link file in the users appdata folder. When the plugin is launched for the first time it works seamlessly, without the user needing to worry about unpacking the samples, or locating the sample folder manually.

How do I make something similar for mac? Is there a preferred way to handle unpacking audio sample libraries? Is there a preferred way to generate a link file in the users Application Support folder?

I know that because of how permissions work on macOS I probably wont be able to replicate what I've done on windows, but any advice would be extremely helpful. Even just pointing me to a program that can create mac installers would be helpful.

Thanks.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on the forum for a while, and finally have something to post about!

I'm currently making an SSL style EQ plugin, and I'm curious if it's possible to get a wider bell curve Q shape than what's available by default from either the parametric EQ effect, or from the svf_eq. Right now the 0.3 Q setting is still much narrower than the Q shape on the SSL consoles I've tested.

I'm currently exploring wonky solutions to this problem like using parallel bandpass filters. Any advice would be super helpful!
