DSP and Plugin Development • The Idea Guy

Hi,

The title is a parody on the ever present trope of someone who wakes up with an idea one day and thinks he can get everyone to get along with it and build him his "genius" software for free; the ever narcissistic naivety that produces rightfully so mockery on the account of the poster. I sincerely hope to avoid being categorized in this trope. The project I am going to be discussing has been slowly fleshed out as a concept for several years and is based on senior experience in different industries and working with software from parallel realities in different areas of 'production' as a general term. With insight into more than one window and parallel industries, I have envisioned a Hybrid system that aims to evolve music production once and for all. Dubbed the 'next-gen' DAW this tool promises to solve mixing on a whole new level via standardized systems and provide innovative tools that deliver more control to enthusiasts as well as easier mixing to amateurs, shifting the focus entirely to creativity and not draining resources by over-producing, robbing us of the initial flair from the song and losing touch with it's initial message.

In it's initial stages of development, right now I am building a definitive design documentation so that all associates introduced to this project can quickly have an understanding of what the goal of this software is and exactly how it intends to achieve this, also introducing it's various global features as well as it's details, of course there are several main features that will prove as the body of the software and then there's the little stuff - covering support for tools that people are used to, and more traditional tools. The technology that powers this system has been available for quite some time, it's realistic, doable, code-able and based on existing methods that have no relation to music production at the moment. It has nothing to do with AI, and more to do with math - I am careful not to reveal too much in this intro post.

First and foremost, I am aware that the scope of this task is not an easy one and will require talented support, senior VST and software coders and probably assistance from audio physicists / mathematicians through an extended period of time. This fact alone, makes me not too excited about this project, but I feel a responsibility to deliver this vision because it has the potential to change the world of music production.

Without further bloat, I would rather give you the bottom line of the software, but unfortunately information about this project is to remain guarded under NDA due to it's high probability of competition.

There is no definite goal for this post, this is an introduction to my project and I would like to get acquainted with any individuals who are interested and would perhaps want to get involved in some way so that we can actually bring this to light. Given the scope of it, I don't feel I am capable in delivering this alone, neither by personal funding budget nor by development alone.

I do feel the responsibility to create this as I've been given the vision and foresight based on my work experiences, and therefore I will put this out there and leave it to chance that someone can fill the voids and perhaps a higher power will intervene to move this forward.

Otherwise I will have to probably post pone the production for a few more years until I can evolve to the level where I can solely fund the production of this, and I will be looking forward to it.

Right now the focus is big on AI so I don't see anyone going this direction for some time but technology is unpredictable and you never know, I feel that it is the inevitable step in evolution for music production tools that has been the victim of oversight as is.

If you have any inquiries email me at marko (dot) ivanovic (dot) contact (at) gmail (dot) com

Otherwise if you think this is a big nothing burger, I encourage you to move on and good luck with your works.
