yeah, you are so right.
You got my at the word fud - very good agrumentation, thank you.
also thank you very much for your respectful language - we both are surely in the same team.
Good to know, there are some people who want to make the world a lil better.
I do like your second argument even better: every one is doing it, so it is ok.

Well be assured, not every one, not even close.
But thank you for the information about the surge team, I will investigate about that.

Well, I am not talking about making some logos or some marketing blahblah with chatgpt - I am talking about coding.
Well, you like vibe coding?
Good!
Go for it!
I guess, I will leave this forum now after one day.
This is not the way I like my argumentations and thought exchanges.
Good luck with your destiny.

I was blind, you are writing about it in your first sentence on your gumroad page.
Still thankfull, I think I won't test your plugins.
See, last time I have counted, I noticed I have more then 5000 native linux plugins installed, all floss or at least free/shareware...
when the month is longer then your money, then you have to make some cuts in the expenses.
Everything is here, maybe I could try a third audio slicer or one of my hundred reverb plugins.
Problem with ai coding is, that there are more security risks coming up.
This is what the internet is saying about security here:

AI focuses on functionality over security, leading to vulnerabilities like injection flaws, insecure authentication, and data leaks in 40%–62% of generated code.
Totally fair, I get your concerns! No need to apologize, it IS a very controversial topic after all.

Not my cup of tea, but props to you for admitting having used AI and releasing it all for free too. That's nice.

I hope I did not post too much of my plugins already and annoy a few of you, but today I finalized my VST bundle / suite and present all of them in the video below. It is 100% free and open source. I compiled vst3s for windows, but you can also use the JUCE source code for Mac and Linux.

Here I present all of them (download links are in the video description):

Hi man, thanks a lot for FREE Stuff and also Linux Support.
I would appreciate a Bundle Download to have all together =)

Hey, it took quite a while but finally bundle download for Windows is here https://github.com/aquanodemusic/aquano ... s/releases and on cutupmusic.gumroad.com for Mac! :)

i am Linux Guy :/ hope it will follow up another one.
Did you quite put effort in fixing issues and optimizing your plugins with changelogs?
thanks for reply :)

ignoring this bit of info, since i don`t understand it.

Mac, otherwise, does it mean i can just take the source code and compile it myself in jucer/xcode to create me some AUs, right ?

i know it`s a stupid question. But so far i`ve dealt only with files from my mac. I`m interested in everything spectral/FFT....i can compile now, haha

Thanks for sharing anyway
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

Everyone is using AI assisted code these days, e.g. the Surge projects do.
This is obiously BS.
Yeah, every body is doing it, that is really your argument?
Of course it is
The pro Ai people do not have many arguments

Professional devs now use automation (aka AI agents) to build the boring parts faster and review what the AI is outputting. This is very different from Vibe-coding.

Anyhow, not interested in any discussion, just naming a fact. Feel free to shoot the messenger.

Not shooting any one.
Yes, I am also not intereste din discussion.
But:
yeah, there was agile coding, now there is vibe coding.
I am no dev and I can not evaluate if ai is good or bad for software development.
You can tell me,please.
I am afraid of ai, at the same time, ai has the potential of a saviour.
