How to Make a Successful Audio Plugin From Scratch as a Solo Audio Developer - Marius Metzger - ADC23
After my well-received appearance on last year's panel on starting your first audio business, I'm resubmitting my talk proposal on the success story of the CrispyTuner, explaining to aspiring indie developers how it's possible to make a successful audio plugin from start to finish. The goal is to inspire aspiring developers by showing real challenges I faced and how I overcame them.

Marius Metzger
My name is Marius, I'm 24 years old and have a passion for product design, leadership, and, of course, software development. After finishing school at 16 years of age, I got right into freelance software development, with Google as one of my first clients. In 2020, I released a pitch correction audio plug-in called CrispyTuner, which I created mostly by myself over the span of 2 years. It found great commercial success, and shortly after release I sold it to Plugin Alliance/brainworx to move on to new projects! At the moment, I live as a digital nomad, travelling the world and working as Development Lead at essential.gg.
