How is purchase handled?

The easiest way to purchase our plugins is right here on this website. 

After checkout, you will receive a confirmation mail from our payment provider, FastSpring. 

This will contain a SERIAL number: just copy and paste it into the plugin, and you're good to go. 
You can retrieve all your past invoices and serials at any time via your FastSpring Account 
There is an exception for Abyss/Chop Suey.

  

Note: We are tiny and indie. By purchasing directly from us, you support our work in the best way, as 3rd party dealer takes a substantial chunk of the revenue. Thank you for consideration! 

How does the FREE TRIAL work?

No email, no registration, no bullshit. 

The plugin will run in trial mode, that is a mild vinyl like crackle every now and then.

Why does Windows SmartScreen sometimes show a warning?

SmartScreen is "reputation-based". When a file is new, it has no download history yet, even if it is properly signed and completely safe. Because of this missing reputation, SmartScreen may show a warning to the first users who download it. After enough installations have occurred without any issues, the file gains reputation and the warning disappears automatically.

Big companies can buy there way out and purchase instant reputation. As a tiny indie developer I don't have the funds :-/ 

Publisher should be: Peter Paul Vorländer or Vorlaender
And you can press the button "Run anyway"

Why Dawesome plugins don’t offer MIDI Learn?

MIDI Learn was invented back in the 1990s, at a time when plugins had few or no automatable parameters. It was a great idea for its era, but it relies on MIDI CC messages with only 7-bit resolution — just 128 steps.

 

Modern DAWs have since introduced full parameter automation: high-resolution, sample-accurate, and deeply integrated into the workflow. In my plugins, almost every parameter can be automated this way — which I consider the more precise and reliable approach for musical control.

 

When a plugin offers both MIDI Learn and DAW automation, conflicts can easily occur: the DAW may store both the CC data and automation data for the same parameter, often resulting in artifacts or complete chaos.

 

For that reason, Dawesome plugins intentionally focus on proper DAW automation rather than MIDI Learn.
