#34 How Moonbase fixes indie plugin launches
Our guest is Tobias Lønnerød Madsen, Founder of Moonbase - a storefront system built for audio plugin companies. Moonbase is a sponsor of Audio Product Jam Stockholm #1 that will be hosted at XLN Audio on September 10th. 👉 Learn more about Moonbase: https://moonbase.sh/a/product-jam In this episode, we talk about: ✅ Why audio plugins need their own commercial stack Generic checkout tools break down fast when a plugin company needs partial bundle upgrades, offline activations, subscriptions, cross-grades, and long product lifecycles. Tobias explains why licensing, storefront, marketing data, and customer ownership need to work as one product system. ✅ Licensing and installation as customer experience For plugin companies, activation is not a detail hidden in the backend. It shapes first impressions, support load, and trust. ✅ Data as a key asset of the product launch When a company knows what a customer owns, it can build smarter upgrades, loyalty discounts, trials, bundles, and launch campaigns. That changes how indie audio companies sell products without copying generic SaaS logic. ✅ Challenges that audio founders have Tobias talks about the challenges of plugin developers he works with as well as his dilemmas as a founder. If you are an indie founder, product manager, DSP engineer, UX designer, or part of an audio software team - this episode will provide a lot of inspiration. 🎙️ After the premiere, the episode will be available on all streaming platforms. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to Audio Products Podcast: https://audioproductacademy.com/ Cheers!

Aiode is an Abbey Road -backed company building ethical AI tools for music creation 👉Learn about Aiode here: https://aiode.com/ In this episode, we talk about: ✅ What ethical AI actually means in music tech Varda breaks down what "ethical AI" should mean in practice: transparent training methods, clear consent from musicians, and business models where artists are not just data sources but participants in the value chain. We also discuss how royalties can work when models are trained on real performances and generate stems based on that material — and why compensation frameworks will be critical if AI music tools want long-term trust from creators. ✅ Marketing AI when the product is the controversy Aiode sits at the intersection of creative tools and generative AI — a space that artists, labels, and publishers are still actively debating. Varda explains how to build credible positioning and trust in a market that hasn't settled on the rules yet. ✅ The Product × Marketing handshake When founders build first and hand off to marketing at launch, they're already late.
