i badly wish i could buy more u-he stuff but new products from u guys don't come out as often as i'd like. Ur software is very inspirational and always sounds awesome but i really wish there was more of it. Is there any chance of hiring more staff and increasing frequency of product releases?

It doesn’t really work like that - a company needs to balance its overheads (i.e. staffing costs) against profits, and also has to optimize the size of the staff for the production tasks.
More resources rarely translates into a direct increase in production rates.

right. i know. But that's my point. The more product they make the more money they could be making. More quality products in the synth marketplace means more money for u-he. A u-he fan or any other regular producer isn't going to buy 2 zebra synths. Or 2 divas. etc

I think you misunderstand me - I’m pointing out that more staff does not always help to get more products out of the door or translate to more profits - don’t you think Urs would have done that by now if it did?
There’s also the question of R&D time, technical debt, product maintenance, knowledge transfer to new staff - all of these are part of the risk equation that has to be considered before moving ahead with company expansion.

of course. But again, if u manage all that right u end up with more staff making more products making u more money.

It's nice to see people care about our potential work load and show they feel connected. Appreciated.
But while we do love fruitful discussions on our products in a place like this, I think company internals such as strategies and staff resources aren't supposed to be discussed in public.

I don't think the skillset required to create U-He plugins is scalable.
It's not like hiring a new burger flipper.

He is a paying customer. A very happy one who is just asking for more products from the company he is supporting for years. I think that every company would be happy to have such customers.
And I agree with Sascha that such topics shouldn´t be discussed in public.
But absolutely no need to bash him.
Yes, I know. It´s the usual KVR attitude..

That’s not quite true - asking for more products is one thing, but insisting that more products can be delivered simply by adding more staff is something different.enCiphered wrote: Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:50 pm He is a paying customer.

Glad to hear of anyone supporting U-He, but as was noted above - it’s an internal subject, and not really suited to internet speculation.
