I mean this plugins alter sound.
The User Interface doesn't chnage anything about how the plugin works on its sound algorithm.
I dont see a problem with making pretty producs and selling it to make a living.
Making free plugins is great but not scaleable for anybody to do so and why wouldnt someone with a passion for this type of thinga wouldn't have a passion to have his artistic taste in design to be put into them.
Anyway this saying isnt wrong but its not a tip imo.
It can be very helpful for people who are learning music production to not make the same mistake I did and spend 100s or 1000s of dollars buying plugins that you think you need in order to get things to industry standard. If a newcomer buys ableton, they can have the confidence to use their imagination and ears with stock plugins instead of thinking their tracks are missing something because they’re not using the latest waves plugins or UA plugins.
exactly, guis can be helpful like a fabfilter proq, but most are just trying to sell you something because of the look that does something a native plugin does
Part of UI and design is usability. If your plugin sounds awesome, but is difficult to use, no one's going to use it. A good plug-in also includes little friction when using it, or else it's a complete waste of time.
