About Emergent Audio

ONE PERSON. ONE COMPUTER. ONE MISSION

Having spent a long time on the other side of the "glass" - as a luthier, producer, studio tech, and now software engineer, I have seen many struggle and fight with bad equipment, noisy rooms, poor gain staging, inconsistent levels, and endless plugin chains.

Somewhere the way was lost, and the audio world became "plug direct into the recorder, then fix it in post" . Ever hear the phrase "Garbage in, Garbage out"? Plugins can be powerful tools, but there are no presets or vintage emulations that can fix the basics : mic choice and placement, gain staging, room treatment, and a clean front end. Creator Core was built to help alleviate the problems of gain staging and build a great front end for your audio. When combined with the other basics listed here you can end up with a world class sounding input channel that any level user, beginner to advanced can setup easily.

What Emergent Audio Creator Core Is

A serious front-end channel, not just another effect in a DAW insert slot.
A DSP preamp and gain structure that lives in front of everything else.
A calibrated signal path that measures noise floor and manages RMS/peak levels.
A virtual microphone you can select in your DAW, streaming and meeting apps.
A tool designed for real-world interfaces and real rooms, not lab conditions.

What Emergent Audio Creator Core Is Not

Not another plugin that attempts to mask the real problems.
Not a single magical preset or a one-click fix
Not locked to one app or ecosystem – it’s meant to sit in front of everything.
Not a marketing story about vintage transformers; Instead it works like them.

Why I Built It

I have always thought about making a program like this for years and years, but for a long time the technology just was not there. To have a real world gain staged preamp for your front end that is digital with 32 bit dsp and low latency is technology that has only been around about 10 years. With the advent of USB 3, Thunderbolt, and Dante, modern audio interfaces have made it possible to move serious audio I/O into small studios and home setups. But, I feel it can be used in more efficient, In more direct ways, that can achieve way higher quality and productivity. Better audio means way less time editing, and way less relying on external software to try to correct it after the fact. In the old days you needed a giant, and expensive console to accomplish this, but this is a new era. A new beginning of new technology - an emergence: EMERGENT AUDIO
