Default Re: take a stand

I've heard that most of the plug-in developers do the Mac version first since more Pro Tools users have Macs. Makes sense if you want to sell the largest number of plugs. Then, if the company wants to sell to the PC users, it develops the PC plug. But it may be more difficult to write certain types or processing for the PC especially if you are a Mac programmer.

I'm sure it is just a financial decision as to where to put your assets. Do you re-write a plug for 20% of the market or make a new plug for 80% of the market? Which would you do to keep your company successful?
