Audio Effects & Studio Tools
DSP, plugins, and the Studio Conductor stack. Public R&D lives at The Woodshed.
We build audio software and studio tooling — plugins, DSP experiments, and the Studio Conductor stack that ties the room together.
Plugin & effects work. VST, AU, and Core Audio builds for working musicians and producers. Reverb, delay, compression, distortion, EQ, modulation — the familiar shapes, built with attention to sound quality rather than preset count. JUCE for cross-format delivery when needed.
Studio Conductor. Della, our operational assistant, is wired into the studio via two bridges: an analog bridge (Skateboard-E, handling the patchbay and the oZm modular) and a plugin-layer bridge (the VST Server). She can inventory gear, recall sessions, drive Ableton over OSC via AbletonOSC and Max for Live, and egress MIDI through Max MSP. The MIDI collection is treated like baseball cards — every card is a product in the Gonzo catalog.
The Woodshed. Our public R&D livestream. Lane 3 of Studio Conductor. Bridge 3 is the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. Instead of marketing the studio, we stream the studio — new patches, new plugins, new MIDI cards, live. The stream is the storefront; the storefront is the stream.
This service covers the software side of all of the above. If you're a studio owner, a plugin company, or a working engineer who needs a custom tool, this is the right door.
