We’re a small team of engineers, composers, and developers building audio
tools for people who care about sound. Everything we make is shaped by
real-world use, not marketing trends.
Co-founder
Mastering Engineer
Stan has mixed on Billboard #1 albums for Rihanna, Big Sean, and Wale,
and multi-platinum singles for O.T. Genasis, Jaden Smith, and others. He
trained under Manny Marroquin and built Master Plan to streamline his
own mastering workflow.
Sam is a software developer and composer with a background in audio/DSP,
web, and embedded systems. He builds functional, studio-grade tools that
don’t look like airplane cockpits. If you ask nicely, he can also cook
up a mean marinara...
Developer
Web & Infrastructure
Alex is a software developer who moved into programming after working in
finance. Alex handles web development, APIs, payments, and product
authorization. She spends time listening to music, baking bread, and
thinking about elevators.
We like tools that feel immediate, sound great, and don’t need a manual.
Everything we add has to earn its place, otherwise we leave it out.
If you’re curious about how we make those calls — or what we’re figuring
out as we go — we write about it on the blog.

48kHz: The Correct Sample Rate
Sam recently made a post explaining how higher sample rates (88.2kHz, 96kHz, 192kHz, etc.) are not better and arguably more problematic than lower sample rates. So if bigger isn’t better, where’s the sweet spot? The answer is 48k. Here’s why.

Did you know there's no single "correct" way to reconstruct a waveform from digital samples?
