Your solution partner in the audio plugin industry
KoalaDSP is a solution partner for companies that develop VST, VST3, AU and AAX plugins for usage
in music production software like Logic, Cubase, ProTools, Ableton Live and Reaper.
A well-known American DJ wanted to create an audio plugin that lets music producers use his signal chains and mixing techniques in their own music productions, giving them instant access to his years of knowledge and experience.
Solution
We carefully analyzed the DJ’s signal chains and mixing techniques, and created a signature plugin in VST, VST3, AU and AAX format that encompasses his sound in detail. The plugin was released by one of the biggest distributors on the market and reached a record number of downloads the day of release.
“Our search for the holy grail: zero-resonance reverb”
Problem
A Berlin-based audio plugin company wanted to create a reverb plugin with all the features and stability of an algorithmic reverb, but with the natural sound of a convolution reverb without any metallic resonances.
Solution
We developed a zero-resonance reverb algorithm with a perfectly flat frequency response, that has all the familiar features of an algorithmic reverb - and more. The algorithm was incorporated in one of the company’s plugins, which quickly became one of their best-selling products.
“A stretch of the imagination: one-stop-shop time dilation”
Problem
A European company developing a sample editor, was in search of a high quality time stretching algorithm that reacts well to a wide variety of audio sources, has no artefacts, and incorporates CPU optimisations specific to their application.
Solution
We researched the quality differences of the few existing time stretch libraries and investigated several algorithms newly proposed by the DSP community. The result enabled us to present an algorithm that ticked all the boxes, of which we created a CPU friendly C++ implementation.
Let's talk about your next project
We are growing and looking for interesting partnerships.
We are excited about the many opportunities in the audio plugin industry. We want to help startups
enter the market with their first plugin, and enable established plugin companies to expand and innovate.
“Working with the guys at KoalaDSP has helped make my dreams a reality, starting with KSHMR Essentials.
But I'm most excited for what's coming next -- real game-changers for producers, you have my word.”
Caspar Bock
Founder at BABY Audio
“As an indie developer with a small internal team, we rely on partners like Koala DSP to add some extra firepower to our setup.
I don’t know the Dutch word for impossible — and neither do they, it seems! If you think something can’t be done, you should ask Koala first.”
Joshua Hodge
The Audio Programmer
“Koala DSP has been an excellent partner helping me get several plugin projects to the next level.
Their easy-to-use DSP libraries sound amazing and they’ve always been very generous consulting on custom algorithms and solving problems.”
