Thanks for the kind words.

I wasn’t expecting that…

It means a lot!

That’s one of the smartest self-observations I’ve read in a long time. 🙂

Good luck on your journey, sir!

I’m putting this here so people know it’s ok and even a good thing to consider the idea of double precision summing. Although sometimes the processing doesn’t allow for that. Found in logic.

This discussion about “being a pro or not” may have been started by me. Please read my post back.

Sorry if I may have caused harm or insulted people.

But I was ONLY inquiring to the Juce “License type PRO”!

If you have that / pay for that, it means that you are engaged in making a good company turnover, and that’s it. So I was curious if that license type is in “TypeWriter’s” profile because of selling self-developed plugins, or maybe a completely different kind of product/business.

And, ok, my **reason** for asking is, that I came accross weird statements, interpretations, regarding plugin development, that I could not interpret as coming from a well selling plugin developer.

I hope this clears the air a bit, some people got carried away with starting a discussion about “being a Pro” while I was referring to “having a Pro license”.

Cheers,  
Peter
