Hey KVR community — just joined. Mastering engineer and developer based in Georgia, been on Linux audio for a few years running Bitwig. Looking forward to being part of the community here.

Mastering engineer on Linux who got tired of the plugin desert and spent a year building the whole thing myself. More details coming — happy to answer questions.

Ha ha. Here we go again. Only $1,199. No demo. Linux and clap only.

Was any "AI" technology used in creating or running these plugins? That is always my first question, especially when that many plugins were created in 1 year. Thanks!

Just launched the PhatSunny CLAP Plugin Suite — 22 plugins, CLAP format, Linux-only.

I'm a mastering engineer who runs a real analog chain daily. When faithful emulations of that hardware didn't exist on Linux, I spent the past year building them.

The full suite:

Warm Audio WA-1B | PH-1B
Wes Audio ngBusComp | PH-NGB
Elysia Xpressor | PH-Xpressor
Dangerous Music Compressor | PH-DC
Universal Audio 6176 | PH-6176
Elysia Alpha Compressor | PH-AC
Slate Pro Audio Dragon | PH-Dragon
Wes Audio ng76 | PH-NG76
Vertigo VSC-3 | PH-VSC3
Fairchild 670 | PH-FAIRCHILD
Manley VoxBox | PH-VoxBox
Warm Audio WA73-EQ | PH-73EQ
Wes Audio ngTubeEQ | PH-NGEQ
Vertigo VSM-3 | PH-VSM3
Thermionic Culture Vulture | PH-CV
Ampex ATR-102 | PH-ATR102
Zombie REC Mammut | PH-MAMMUT
Focusrite MixMaster | PH-MixMaster
SSL Fusion | PH-Fusion
SSL Fusion Vintage Drive | PH-Fusion A
SSL Fusion Violet EQ | PH-Fusion B
SSL Fusion HF+Stereo | PH-Fusion C

Happy to answer any questions. Search PhatSunny for more info.

So these are 'emulations' of existing hardware - even down to the logo in some? (are SSL, Focusrite, Slate etc ok with this?)

eg

I say 'emulation' in a loose sense, it's not easy to know if these actually respond the same ways or just look similar(ish)

I see absolutely no reason why someone would pay over 1000 for some plugins from a totally unknown developer without ever using a demo!

You can seriously shove it with that price. Your head is broken.

Cockos forum is having a bit of a field day.

That's a panel.

makes you wonder whether the same attention to detail went into the actual audio processing part

From that topic:

This may work in the Windows world, but not in Linux.

The Linux minority is claiming to be the elite who is entitled to receive free work again.

Gosh, that's a lot of em dashes.

Because em dashes do not exist in English if you are a human person.

That was my favorite comment in that thread (actually, I saw it over on GS ??) as well...

Mine too. em-dashes are a hassle to type on the PC, easier on a mac.

This is how you falsify quotes. Was it intentional?
You should already quote everything!
Here's the original, it wasn't about having something for free, but about the developer's strange answer as to why there is no demo.

Phatsunny wrote: On the no-demo question — that's an intentional decision, and it's not unusual at this level. Universal Audio doesn't offer demos. Plugin Alliance doesn't offer demos on most of their catalog.

That's not a good argument. This may work in the Windows world, but not in Linux.

So, a paid demo?
