Hi everyone,
I'm Derek Snape, an independent audio plugin developer. I've built 20 audio plugins (SNAPE Audio) that are production-ready and launching soon. I'm looking for a small group of testers to validate AU and VST3 compatibility across different DAWs before public release.
What I'm Looking For:
Experienced producers/engineers on macOS
Willing to test in: Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, or any other DAW
Can provide feedback on stability, workflow, and usability
Available to test over the next 1-2 weeks
What You Get:
Free, fully-licensed copy of all 20 plugins
Direct access to me for any issues or questions
Credit as a tester (if you'd like)
Early access before public launch
Formats: AU and VST3 (macOS only)
How to Apply:
Reply here or DM me with:
Your DAWs (which ones you'll test in)
Your experience level
Any specific workflows you want to validate
Thanks,
Derek

The coding part C++, JUCE, and xCode, yes, but not the concept or UX/UI

Ah. Yeah I found the following quotes on your website:
"A hobby + an idea + AI = vibecoding a business"
"I used AI-assisted development to compress a multi-year product roadmap into 3 weeks, handling everything from C++ DSP implementation to brand identity, product strategy, and go-to-market planning."
"Created a complete, market-ready plugin business with revenue projections of $18K-73K annually. The AI-assisted development workflow compressed what would typically be 1-2 years of development into 3 weeks, demonstrating how AI can accelerate technical product delivery without sacrificing quality or depth"
Well, good luck out there.

I was working on a design-to-code side project, and got very good results. Testing everything in my ProTools environment, just looking for some folks to test the AU and VST versions. I did some low-level testing in Ableton, FL Studio and Logic (and GB) just need some heavier testing.

I made some for everyone. Also, the web page is https://www.snape.net/case_snapeaudio.html

As people here know, I'm pretty pro AI, but, I'm on KVR's side on this one.

Don't really need this kind of thing, but the design aesthetic is nice and having consistency across your plugin suite was a good idea.
I personally don't care if plugins are vibe coded or not. Pretty sure the large developers have some vibe coding in their latest releases.
