Acustica Audio is a developer and supplier of professional audio plug-ins for audio production, mixing, and mastering, based on a black-box approach and the Vectorial Volterra Kernels series.[1][2][3]
The company's headquarters and main development facilities are located in the Italian province of Lodi.
History
Acustica Audio was founded by Italian developer and music producer Giancarlo Del Sordo in 2007.
In 2008, the company released its first product, called Nebula, a multi-effect plug-in that emulates several types of exotic audio equipment, eliminating the need for expensive studio hardware.
Acqua plug-ins
Unlike Nebula, which requires manually loading separate sampled libraries, Acqua plug-ins recreate the experience of using hardware in full, with a focus on photorealistic graphical user interfaces.
Signature plug-in Series
Acustica developed signature and branded plug-ins in collaboration with award-winning engineers and hardware manufacturers. These include the El Rey compressor[4], developed in collaboration with Greg Wells, Ruby, the official reproduction of the VT-5 tube equalizer manufactured by D.W Fearn, Diamond Color EQ, carrying the signature of EDM mixer Luca Pretolesi[5] and the Pensado EQ, the signature equalizer of mixer and producer Dave Pensado[6]
New developments
In 2019, Acustica Audio, as technical partner of US company Quantica Audio Inc., developed a touch-screen friendly mixing system called Modula[7].
Deep learning and artificial intelligence
In 2019, Acustica Audio introduced artificial intelligence and deep learning technology into their development process to generate presets for their own plug-ins. Contrary to regular static presets, which are basically snapshots of a specific setting, AI-based presets require the intervention of an audio engineer, whose experience is 'captured' and dynamically recreated. The plug-in literally 'learns' how to self-adjust based on the type of audio material.[lower-alpha 1][8]
