Everything you need to ship a plugin someone actually buys.

01

HISE, properly

The 20% of HISE that does 80% of the work. Setup, interface, and the parts nobody else teaches.

02

Synth, rompler, FX

Build one of each end-to-end. Not tutorial clones — plugins that look and behave like what's on Plugin Boutique.

03

HyperSaw, from scratch

The technique behind every supersaw plugin on the market, demystified.

04

UI that doesn't look vibecoded

Floating tooltips, macro layouts, visual grammar — the 1% that separates $9 plugins from $99 ones.

05

Store + distribution

How to get your plugin on Plugin Boutique, ADSR, and many more.

06

Direct access to Paul

Private Discord, weekly build logs, and — on the Label tier — a 60-minute 1:1 review of your first plugin.

Behind the craft

The engine behind every plugin Paul ships.

HISE script, JUCE, FAUST, MAX, JavaScript — braided together into the commercial instruments that producer brands bought for six years. This course hands you the same engine.

Eight modules. One plugin on your hard drive at the end.

Modules ship on a locked schedule, starting August 1, 2026. Early access drops the moment each one is live. The refund clock starts the day the final module ships — so you can finish the whole course before deciding.

01
HISE, properly
Setup, the interface that isn't obvious, and the twenty percent of HISE that does eighty percent of the work.

Paul Jones — founder of Audio Tech Hub
Meet the instructor

Paul Jones

Musician since a kid. Developer almost as long. Attended Full Sail in 2011, started Audio Tech Hub in 2019 to build commercial VSTs for producer brands — companies whose sample libraries and plugins you've probably already bought. Since then I've shipped plugins for/with over a dozen major brands/influencers, with over a dozen distributors, past a million in sales.

I'm not an influencer. I'm the engineer the influencers hire.

This course is what I'd hand a junior developer on day one if I were bringing someone onto my team — compressed, opinionated, and free of the YouTube padding.

The twenty percent that makes a plugin sellable isn't the part anyone teaches.

Three tiers. One refund that doesn't start until the course is finished.

30-day refund from the day the final module ships — not from purchase. So you can go through every lesson before deciding. Founders' pricing closes May 16, 2026.

The ones I get most often.

Do I need to know C++?
No. HISE uses a JavaScript-style scripting language. If you've written any code in anything, you're fine. I walk through the parts that trip up beginners in the first two modules.
Mac or PC?
Both. HISE runs on both platforms, and every demo in the course is built in a way that exports cleanly to both. The standalone-export module covers the gotchas on each.
When does the course actually ship?
Module 1 on August 1, 2026. One new module every two weeks. Final module on November 1, 2026. You get access the moment each one goes live, and weekly build logs in the meantime.
Can I resell the plugins I build?
Yes — they're yours. The Studio and Label tiers include source projects you can fork, reskin, and ship commercially. Module 8 walks through how to actually get them listed with distributors.
Why pre-order?
Founders' pricing pays for the studio time to record the course properly. You get locked-in pricing; I get the runway to ship. The refund window doesn't even start until the final module is live — if the course doesn't land, you're made whole.
What if I've never made a plugin before?
Good. This course is designed around that starting point. If you've shipped plugins before, skip modules 1 and 2 — but most students haven't, and the first two modules exist to get you moving fast.
Is there a community?
Private Discord, included in every tier. Weekly build-log posts, critique threads, and a channel where I answer questions publicly so everyone learns from each answer. Label-tier members get priority replies.
