I am waiting for those features talked about before.

Seems I missed this message. What's a naive console? I kind of had trouble understanding the rest of the message after thattheodore_whitmore wrote:Do I think your excellent quality (rated 9/10 by Computer Music magazine and 9.45/10 by the good folk of KVR, fully functional 4 band demo version available from the link in the OP) equaliser would be more appealing if it cost more than it's remarkably low current price of $19? Well I heard it was based on the splines in an original Naive console and the officially licensed Naive vst eq costs $1000000000 so I guess a higher price, say $21, would make it seem more professional. On the other hand I could choose to be 'that guy' who thinks maybe I don't need this plug right now, but here's my chance to peg the price at $19 should I need it in 6 months time. It's a tough call. Can't make my mind up. If you ask again in six months...........

I think I understand, thanks for the insighttheodore_whitmore wrote:A_SN I apologise for my poor sense of humour. Even I don't know whether I'm being deadpan or dumb half the time. The only advantage I see to the purchaser of a higher price is a sense that the product is 'more pro' (hence the Neve/Naive more brand=more pro=more $$$ crapLOLZ).
The rest of that brainspasm was me contextualising the price of your stuff within the $0-$100 indie dev market. Make of that what you will, I see clear trends (perhaps the market is the guy who should decide your pricing).
Secondly saying that some devs make me want to buy stuff without a marketing budget. I've only used the free version of your EQ. Very nice of you to give it away. Enough so to make me put a little sales pitch for it in the topline of my message, for anyone unaware it is rated 9/10 by Computer Music magazine etc. Ask me again in six months and I'm sure I'd say the same. My guess is that many (maybe most) of the people voting for a higher price do so out of similarly positive motives-y'know-this EQ is great, it's easily worth more than $19. That psychology MAY be true in a survey but not when it comes time to open their wallet. Just a thought. I hope that's a little clearer if not necessarily more helpful.
It's only 4 bands actuallyvaisnava wrote:Other:
You already give away a Free 5 band version which is more than I needed.
Fair enough, FabFilter Pro-Q is a very good equaliser, and how many good equalisers does one really need? I guess SplineEQ is rather meant for people who don't already have a $189 EQ (unless you really like Spline's visualiser, or its splines, or its range)vaisnava wrote:Plus I already own FabFilter Q and could never see this replacing it. No offense.
Yeah, it's a bit like being the new kid in school lol. Maybe I should work on more original effects (which is actually what I wanted to do with SplineEQ, I just figured that making an EQ could be just as good as making a weird effect I have trouble explaining to anyone). After I'm done with the upcoming major version of SplineEQ that is.vaisnava wrote:Hehe, yes 4 nodes are way more than enough for what I use the Spline EQ for and that is VERY gentle slopes... However, I think you got my point exactly. "How many great EQ's do we need?"
Now unfortunately it seems we are kind of on a race to the bottom here in the plugin world as well. Especially when competing with a lot of the well known, budget priced ones.
I think Spline EQ would be a great option for someone who does not have a long loved EQ like the FabFilter Q, DDMF IIEQPro/LP10, Melda's Free EQ, Easy-Q, ToneBoosters EQ, or a host of others free, cheap, or expensive.
I have 4 of those and find it kind of silly, really...
Do not get me wrong, I think that the Spline EQ is very pretty, good sounding and intuitive plugin, etc... It's just a little late in the game for me to ever consider spending more than $19, with the competition out there and what is already in my plugin folder.
