    🎧 Roundtable: The Future of Indie Plugin Design with Purafied & Nudist Audio

    There’s a new wave of plugin makers changing the landscape of modern music production. From boutique developers to full-fledged software houses, indie creators are building tools that rival the biggest names in the game — and often do it with more innovation, personality, and passion.

    In this roundtable, Justin sits down with two of the most exciting independent developers shaping that movement:

    • Sam from Purafied Audio — known for forward-thinking mixing and mastering tools used by pros worldwide.

    • Caleb from Nudist Audio — a rising developer pushing creative boundaries with analog-inspired plugins that bring warmth, imperfection, and vibe.

    🎛️ We explore:

    • How indie plugin companies are competing with giants like Waves and UAD

    • The art and business of pricing plugins fairly

    • Oversampling, sound quality, and performance trade-offs

    • AI’s role in the next wave of music production tools

    • What it takes to turn a coding idea into a creative tool musicians love

    💡 Plus: behind-the-scenes stories of what it’s really like building a plugin company from scratch — from sound design to customer feedback to surviving as a small business.
