I recently had the pleasure of interviewing #developer, #engineer and #producer Dan Korneff from Korneff Audio, creator of legendary plugins like Chocolate Milk, and Pawn Shop Comp.
We discussed audio #plugin design, #analog inspiration, and using #linux for #proaudio workloads. 😎

As some following folks may have read, I bought Korneff's SITRAL EQ. It's heavy on the CPU but I really like it. I also had a little e-mail conversation with Dan, because usually I write manufacturers an e-mail after my purchase, telling them that the fact that their plugin is for Linux was a major reason to buy it.
Which is what I'd recommend, if you can afford it, do also get plugins you have to pay for on Linux. Do donate to people making the free plugins you use most.
To get things going also means: Developers' fridges must get filled, and that ain't for free.
Developing audio software is too specialized for the Linux coding nerds to do it in their spare time.

Hi Niels,
you mentioning SITRAL in another thread made me check it out, thanks for sharing!
Your screenshot showed what was under the hood when you click the Korneff Audio logo. That‘s what made me curious as access to these types of parameters are making it my kind of plugin 🤓
@nielso @linuxaudiodevelopment @mosgaard
Contacting developers this way is commendable! I‘m sure (after reading interviews on linuxaudio.dev) companies are monitoring their download counts for Linux builds to see what‘s happening as well.
After spending hundreds of €uros for single plugins in the Windows world, I gladly told devs like @kazrog and @uheplugins about my appreciation for supporting Linux.
@flosillermastering @linuxaudiodevelopment @mosgaard @kazrog @uheplugins
I bet companies are monitoring their downloads, yes.
Yet I hope it is different if some people try your plugin on Linux than me writing that I do audio Linux-only, and that I have been doing so since 2006.
I assume a number of people are experimenting with Linux and audio production right now in this Windows 11 crisis, but als I guess not everybody will stick to it.
@nielso @linuxaudiodevelopment @mosgaard
Right, I am in the same boat of soft switching and testing the waters since Endof10.
I think it‘s helpful and reassuring for companies to know seasoned Linux pros are digging their work!
Letting devs know either way appears to be helpful if higher demand results in more support.
Out of the 25 companies I‘ve contacted, only one has announced Linux support for Q1 of this year.
