I’ve been lurking around KVR Audio for quite a while, soaking up the incredible wealth of knowledge here, and figured it’s finally time to step out of the shadows, say hello, and properly introduce myself.
My name is Jan, I'm 21, and I'm based in Northern Germany. I live in that weird intersection where music and code constantly fight for my time:
- The Musical Side:
- The Tech Side:
A few months ago, I got incredibly frustrated with a dense orchestral mix where the woodwinds and brass were completely swallowing the lower frequencies of my celli and the clarity of my piano. I tried standard sidechaining and FFT-based dynamic EQs, but I absolutely hated how they either smeared the sharp transients of the staccatos or introduced weird artifacts.
So, I decided to build my own solution. I've been developing a highly focused, 24-band multitrack demasking tool that operates entirely in the time-domain via a shared-memory matrix across plugin instances. It cleans up frequency conflicts dynamically while keeping the phase and transients 100% intact.
It’s currently in the heavy testing phase (shouting out to JUCE 8!), and I’m getting ready to run a small, closed beta soon to see how it handles massive real-world DAW sessions and different operating systems.
I’m incredibly excited to finally be an active part of this community, to talk shop about sample libraries, mixing workflows, and maybe even some DSP nerd-stuff if anyone is interested.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
Best regards,
Jan
