This whole thread was incredibly informative.  I had no real idea about the inner workings/thinking of software companies and this really pulled the curtain back for me.  I would be very interested in seeing more posts along these lines.

Haha! You’re probably the only one! As you can see, I enjoy writing about this stuff.

After years and years of seeing people forum posts stating that the digital audio production tools industry is doing poorly and attempting to explain to them that it’s actually doing quite well (which, let’s be honest, is rarely effective with people who don’t value facts in the first place), I finally wrote a blog post to share the facts. I’m confident that for all of us who love making music — or just dabbling with the tools —  even the doom posters, it’s great news, because it means lower costs for those tools. And we’re seeing it with effects plugins, with sample libraries… Although we’re unlikely to see it with physical gear due to US tariffs (so far, the tariffs only impact physical goods, not software) which are resulting in dramatic price increases for a lot of gear made in China.

The DAW, Plugin, and Sample Library Market Is Thriving, and That’s Great News for Home-Based Music Creators
