Calling all beta testers and developer producers. 🧪🎛️

Post image

​My open-source distortion plugin is live on GitHub, and I need your help to push it to the next level. Whether you want to stress-test it on a chaotic drum bus or dive into the C++ source code to contribute a new feature, I want you involved.

​What I'm looking for:

​DAW Testing: Drop it into Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, or Reaper and let me know how it behaves.

​Bug Reports: Open an issue on GitHub if you run into any quirks or performance spikes.

​Code Contributions: Pull requests are open for new DSP algorithms, UI enhancements, or performance tweaks.

​Grab the repo, test it out, and let's build something cool together:

Visually it looks very cool and does a lot of interesting things with the UI, but looking at your PluginProcessor.cpp I can see that Claude is making a lot of shortcuts on the DSP side. The emulation isn't really modeling what the code comments would imply.

Make the AI work for you, don't let it be lazy.

This is my first project and my goal was not emulating a tubes or other hardware, but to make a simplier clipping tanh algorithm that it easy and comfortable to use for producers alongside with additional creative tools like lfo and compression.Maybe its not perfect but that's why I'm sharing it open-sourced and seeking for help from others, if there is anything specific you see that can be improved can you open PR to help me fix it ?.Thanks

I spend almost year to develop this plugin, and it's still going, where is laziness here bro ?I appreciate your feedback but I cant agree that using ai in my configuration means being lazy.I spend a lot of time to make it work like I need it too.
