For the record, I hadn't even thought about your plugins, because you

give a GOOD description of what it is, what it does, and a GREAT idea of

what it will sound like.
The ones I was talking about give ONLY a description like "FFT plugin"

or some such vague term.  A typical audio user, or musician, is not

going to have ANY idea what that plugin is, what is would be used for,

or what its purpose is.
I consider your descriptions to be some of the best!
