Five people, and an evening about the part of music production that happens between the human and the machine, before anything reaches the box.
Andreas Jacobi showed Audiotool, a DAW that has run in the browser since long before that was normal, and talked about opening its collaboration infrastructure so other tools can go multiplayer. Aibek Mazhitov brought Vibely, which turns a track into visual content fast enough to be useful to creators who post daily. Mohammad Tomaraei started from the figure that close to 40% of new streaming uploads are now AI-generated, and showed the platform he is building to teach people to play instead. David Pocknee demonstrated Chordite, a composition environment with 3D graphics and game controllers that lives alongside your DAW.
This was also the first edition with proper demo tables. Frank Hahn of Kreuzberg Audio ran one all evening, premiering KREATUR alongside the KA-303 and the Reecer.
