Congrats! As a fellow software engineer & musician I want to add this: don't waste your time & money on "copy protections" or DRM. They don't actually prevent illegal use, and make both your life and the life of the consumer more miserable. And in the best case, you'll have a pipeline of customers that learn about the product from a piracy site, but they like it enough to go to buy & support the author, or recommend it to the studio they work with.
This was a decision that I debated for a while. There is quite a good argument for not copy protecting. In theory, copy-protection only delays the inevitable moment when someone cracks your product. There is a solid argument that paying customer will not even consider pirating, while illegal downloaders will never consider buying if they unsuccessfully search for a free version. So why even bother? I do have my reasons for choosing to copy-protect Tremor that are related to server communication, but I wouldn't be surprised if I change my mind on future products. This is my chance to experiment with business models and marketing, so I'm interested to see, first-hand, how the public reacts to different methods for packaging product.
@@BeepBoopAudio First off, good luck on your new venture. As to copy-protection, why not as long as NO i-Lok is used, absolutely hate it with a passion. Why not also make available "lite" versions which are free but lack certain features such as automation and so on and absolutely no support, only the full versions get that. Best way to get users hooked and hopefully they will want (and pay) for the deluxe version. Heck, you could even make the graphics uglier on the "lite" versions so at least one can get a feel for the sound and it may just also motivate people to buy the full versions for the eye-candy as well. Then, please add support for other operating systems as well, Windows is no longer the only ticket in town. Linux does support VST3 natively if the binary is compiled for it. Not sure about MacOS, maybe they also do or maybe AU3 only, sorry not a MacOS user.
@@BeepBoopAudio server communication or subscription models would deter me from purchasing a product. a lite version would be tempting along with option for a lifetime purchase level and/or purchasing with free updates for 'current' build until next full revision number. also, i second making this avail for linux. exciting though and good luck!
Congratulations! This journey has been long and arduous, but it is like you are now taking your first steps into a new and amazing world, and we can't wait to come along for the ride! One small Beep, one GIANT Boop for mankind!
I'm two minutes in and I had to stop just to say that a tutorial/walkthrough included in the plugin is actually such an amazing idea, it looks so cleeean
Fantastic plugin, really high quality stuff man, great job. I wish it was Linux compatible so I could give it a try soon (I do work with a lot of Win plugins via Wine though), but for now, just wanted to drop a word of support and I hope you find plenty of success on your new venture
Would love to make it Linux compatible in the future. There are so many additional factors I would have loved to tackle, but I didn't want this to become a neverending project. Hopefully I can make enough from Mac and Windows users to be able to quit my job, allowing me to focus more on making Beep Boop Products available for more people including yourself.
Thanks Stephen. Your feedback was super useful. It resulted in me changing the graphic for the cutoff frequency control to be more obvious that it is adjustable.
It makes a pretty cool sound when you automate that XY control? Isn't it obvious what you should do then? Add internal modulation to that XY control. At least an LFO, but a sequencer with control points would even be better. And since it changes the pitch, make it possible to add a stereo offset to the control points. That makes the sound much wider.
I feel stupid for asking, lol -buuuut what application is this a plugin for? I do mostly video work, but somehow found your video, watched the whole thing (Great work and wonderful story!!) - looked at your awesome website and saw it's discounted right now, but have no idea how to start using it, lol RIP
Turns out you can use it on an audio track for video editing software. I only have DaVinci Resolve, so I can't personally confirm what other video software it works in. PLEASE NOTE. The rate of the tremolo is exclusively based on session tempo (for now). You can set session tempo in music software, but I don't think you can for video software. So it is a fun effect to throw on a video track as long as you're ok with it not being perfectly synced with film music.
Providing a free demo version of a plugin significantly increases expenses and support ticket volume for an individual in my position. I'm researching the possibility of this, but for now I provided a walkthrough video that demonstrates the capabilities of the plugin. Thank you for your patience as I experiment and learn about running my first business.
The reveal part is a nice demo of what you can do.. but unfortunately it would have been nice to hear it in stereo. Or is it monophonic output with monophonic input? Like, is it's stereo spread 1 to 1 with pan position?
Wow. I'm amazed that I never caught this. Looks like I placed the audio for my screen capture on a mono track in my video editing project. Luckily, I did not make the same mistake in my walkthrough video. th-cam.com/video/xxjKxt4TYd0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9M0gCmGNsnNr8pKR
Thanks for the support. Beta-testing for this project is done and it's available of the website. Will likely do a free update to existing users, but no more "early version"
iPadOS + iOS is not a high priority currently. I have looked into creating a time-limited trial version, but that comes along with additional expenses and MANY more support tickets. I plan to research further to see if this is possible for Beep Boop Audio, or if it will put me too far in the red as just one guy starting my first business.
Yeah... This is an issue that I'm seeing pop-up and disappear randomly, but only for iPhones. Not sure what's causing it and why it only happens sometimes. I'm not a web developer, so I'm learning as I go.
Valid request. The plugin sits between 2% and 3% on my computer that has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. I wanted to account for less powerful computers, so I included script that deactivates the animation if the plugin UI is not displayed in your DAW. I also reluctantly removed glass glare from the animation because it was making it too beefy for weaker computers. That was a sad day because it was so beautiful.
Not an iLok. I do also have to sign Pro Tools plugins (AAX) with an iLok, but the USB stick I showed is something completely different. Users do not need an iLok to use Tremor in DAWs that are not Pro Tools.

Congrats, Owen!
Thank you Sam! I hope you have fun creating music with Tremor.
You got this, keep going... can't wait to jump on board!
Really appreciate the support Daniel! I'm going to message you on discord. Would love to hear your feedback.
Congratulations! This journey has been long and arduous, but it is like you are now taking your first steps into a new and amazing world, and we can't wait to come along for the ride! One small Beep, one GIANT Boop for mankind!
I'm going to steal that line.
Bought it yesterday. Nice! (and greetings from E Nashville!)
YAAAAAAAAY! I really hope you're enjoying Tremor. Thank you fellow Nashvillian.
I'm two minutes in and I had to stop just to say that a tutorial/walkthrough included in the plugin is actually such an amazing idea, it looks so cleeean
I'm so proud of this feature. A little difficult to implement, but I feel like it's going to be a staple for all future Beep Boop plugins
@@BeepBoopAudio Really looking forward to getting hands on with them! Great job, man
Long live Beep Boop Audio! Thank you Owen for sharing with us your process. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you. I've already got ideas for the next one. Right after I attend to the many projects I still have to do for clients.
Thanks algorithm for recommending me this channel. This series is awesome!
I too thank the algorithm for sending you my way. Glad you enjoyed the videos.
Best of luck! Can't wait to see your company grow :)
Thanks Matt. Hoping to speedrun the journey to bundle packs
Great writing and editing. cant wait for more (whats your editing sofrware btw?)
I used the free version of Davinci for the majority of this project and then bought the full version right at the end.
@@BeepBoopAudio Thank you!
Tremor seems cool as hell! Cant wait to try it out!
And I can't wait to hear what YOU make with it!
Fantastic plugin, really high quality stuff man, great job. I wish it was Linux compatible so I could give it a try soon (I do work with a lot of Win plugins via Wine though), but for now, just wanted to drop a word of support and I hope you find plenty of success on your new venture

congrats obolig!
Thanks Ryan!
I sincerely hope this plugin is a smash and that you have the chance to do some more gear.
Doing more gear is truly the dream. I'm currently working on an update for Tremor that will hopefully increase the chances of it being a SMASH.
Such a cool plugin with so many creative possibilities
Thanks Stephen. Your feedback was super useful. It resulted in me changing the graphic for the cutoff frequency control to be more obvious that it is adjustable.
u should add groove to it, and also give us delay and reverb for the plug
It makes a pretty cool sound when you automate that XY control?
Isn't it obvious what you should do then? Add internal modulation to that XY control. At least an LFO, but a sequencer with control points would even be better. And since it changes the pitch, make it possible to add a stereo offset to the control points. That makes the sound much wider.
The only company that does tutorials like that is Ableton
honestly this plugin could be made into a real phisical thing with screens and what not
Not gonna lie I got sucked into these videos, so we’ll done bro!
Thank you! This series helped me experiment with the act of making videos. Hopefully resulting in everything in the future being higher quality.

I support you man, Keep it up.
Also can I get a... umm early version, if that's possible man?
Thanks for the support. Beta-testing for this project is done and it's available of the website. Will likely do a free update to existing users, but no more "early version"
I use the exact same color correction curves in DaVinci, I can tell you graduated YT University Color Correcting school with honors.
That gave me a good chuckle
i love this
Have you thought of making this an iPadOS + iOS app? And for desktop might a time-limited trial version be possible?
iPadOS + iOS is not a high priority currently. I have looked into creating a time-limited trial version, but that comes along with additional expenses and MANY more support tickets. I plan to research further to see if this is possible for Beep Boop Audio, or if it will put me too far in the red as just one guy starting my first business.
Why wouldn’t I split bands and delay each?
no demo?
I am having some trouble playing the audio clips on the website using an iPhone. Clips seem to not load and skip to the end with 0 length.
Yeah... This is an issue that I'm seeing pop-up and disappear randomly, but only for iPhones. Not sure what's causing it and why it only happens sometimes. I'm not a web developer, so I'm learning as I go.
Did you use JUCE for development?
Yes and No. I used HISE which utilizes JUCE to create plugins.
show your cpu meter
