Hi guys, this is our first product, could you try the demo and tell us how you like this product. We will be glad to receive any comments and feedback. Since this is our first product, we don't have a lot of experience, what could be better or worse. Professional evaluation and experience of our colleagues are important to us. Thanks!

Get ready for comments on your pricing model.

What's different about the compression algorithm, what benefit does it bring?

[DJErmac]

First feedback : ouch, that price !
I’m not sure I want to even try it...

Some audio demos would help to generate interest, especially at that price. Hook needs more bait.

Demo download must always be free. I don’t give my email address to companies I don’t know anymore.

Hey, tell me please, what price do you think is more suitable?

Hi, thanks for the questions. This algorithm is more transparent. There are no such algorithms on the market, in any case, we have been analyzing plugins for a couple of months.

ADT mode (Auto Dynamic Trim) - ratio + trim fro signal.

1. Unique algorithm
2. Salary to employees
3. Rent of premises
3. Equipment
4. Advertisement
5. Consultations with leading experts in the field of sound
6. Product testing
7. Mathematical calculations
8. Website hosting and licensing systems
9. Software Protection
10. Technology patenting and legal subtleties

Is it worth writing this in the cost calculation?

Thank you very much for this review. Our system is tied to the fact that you can get demo keys in the cabinet. To register in the system, you need mail. How can you get a demo version without keys?

Thank you for your feedback. In the near future, we will release a couple of videos demonstrating the work of our software!

Well, this compressor has just hit the market, and they say "For the most transparent compression" and it has "extremely transparent compression". I dunno, is yours more transparent then theirs? Also, their full price is $49.99. Just saying.

Is it worth writing this in the cost calculation?

No, because it applies to all devs. What makes you so special that only you have employees, rent, equipment, advertisement, web hosting and so on?

Sorry to be an ass about it, just don't use the cost of "mathematical calculations" and other nonsense to justify your price.

That is, you suggest that I put the same price tag, did I understand you correctly? Based on this product?

Imagine that in order to make a patent of the technology, mathematical proof and its proofs are necessary.

[Agreed]

I hate to get into an argument with a developer over prices, or costs. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I will say that I can't swing that for a compressor plugin, these days, it reminds me of the 2000s and early 2010s when there was more of a comparison to hardware prices. I gotta do what I gotta do.

I've got a great many excellent compressor products from various developers at $60 or under, most of which were actually $40 or under, all of which do a good job at what they are for and none of which have left me thinking "Wow, there is just a fundamental flaw in how compressors work, we need some new algorithm or some big departure from how these function and I for one would be willing to pay twice or three times as much as even the most expensive of these to get it."

Perhaps I'm just not your market. Wish you no ill personally & if the product is excellent perhaps you will find success despite the steep asking price. Just noting my thoughts.

Perhaps I'm just not your market; as mentioned I have a pretty big folder of compressor plugins from developers for whom I seem to have indeed been their market at the aforementioned prices. Wish you no ill personally & if the product is excellent perhaps you will find success despite the steep asking price.

I just want to understand what price is comfortable for the buyer, if it's $40/60/70, then I can put up $40/60/70 and not ask questions. I need feedback on the demo, believe me, no one is going to spam your mail, we are just working on online licensing because pirates are not asleep.

We don't have a goal to be greedy. our goal is to achieve success in development. To make our customers happy. And we found an application for this algorithm.
