Streamlining audio production with AI

Aflorithmic is on a mission to help you create high quality audio at a fraction of the time and cost. One of the most intense parts about creating audio for video, radio, smart speakers or, indeed, voice assistants and voice user interfaces, is that you need to learn what you’re doing. You need to learn your way around a DAW, understand compression, EQ, reverb, ducking and a whole load of other audio engineering practices. All of this makes high quality audio difficult to produce and reserved for those skilled enough.

Aflorithmic is on a mission to change that. And to share how audio production can be made more streamlined, and how that can fit into a designer’s workflow, we’re joined by Aflorithmic CEO, Timo Kunz.
