We talked about: ✅ oeksound's product strategy We chatted about oeksound's history and how they came up with ideas for products and the process of launching them to the market. ✅ How a small audio team stays trusted oeksound has remained focused: a small specialist team, a tight product line, and tools that engineers actually use in real sessions. We discuss how that discipline shapes product decisions, positioning, and growth. ✅ What is new in Soothe3 and what comes next We also talk about what is new in Soothe3, what this release says about oeksound's current direction, and how the team thinks about the company's next chapter More about soothe3 👉 https://lnkd.in/gggpGXnM If you are an audio founder, product manager, UX designer, product marketer, or indie audio company building professional tools — this episode will provide a loooot of inspiration. 🎙️ After the premiere, the episode will be available on all streaming platforms. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to Audio Products Podcast https://lnkd.in/dUKzfAHU Cheers! #musictech #audioproducts #audioplugins #dsp #productmanagement #productmarketing #uxdesign #plugindevelopment #oeksound #soothe3 #audiotech #audioproductacademy

Hey audio nerds I’ve built a free AI research assistant for audio product teams. It helps founders, product managers, designers, and marketers turn messy product questions into clearer, data-driven insights — without starting every research task from scratch. Inside, you’ll find 5 audio-focused research protocols: ✅ Market research ✅ Competitive analysis ✅ UX workflow analysis ✅ Technical feasibility ✅ Pricing analysis It is designed for people building plugins, instruments, hardware, pro audio tools, music-tech products, and other related products. It also has built-in guardrails. It is a desktop agent so requires an IDE and a paid LLM subscription I’m giving it away for free to everyone who joins the monthly Audio Products Newsletter, where every month - together with Zach and Michael, we share practical audio articles, podcast episodes, events, latest job openings, and useful resources for people working in the audio industry (they are free and we don't spam) Get the free AI research assistant here: https://lnkd.in/dxJKuSdm

Welcome back to our article series on the journey from sound waves to software. We’ve already explored Sampling and Quantisation. Now, it’s time for the final piece of the puzzle: Encoding. Michael’s new article explains this last step in a clear, practical way. If you understand the basic terms in digital audio but still want a cleaner picture of how recorded sound becomes digital audio data, this is a good one to read. It is useful not only for future engineers, but also for PMs, marketers, and founders building audio products. The better you understand the path from signal to digital format, the easier it is to make smarter product decisions later. 👉 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/dm_-UgTG 📬 Want more practical thinking for audio product people?

If young listeners grow up on frictionless, generated background music, we are not only automating output. We are flattening their relationship to what great music sounds like. That is why you cannot generate a full song with Aiode. The point is to support the creative process, not to mass-produce a substitute for human artistry. 🔗 Listen to the full episode with Varda Caspi to hear how Aiode thinks about ethical AI, product limits, and building tools that respect real creative work.

In this clip from our conversation with Varda Caspi, VP Marketing at Aiode, we get into one of the hardest questions in music tech: where is the real boundary between generation and creativity? Varda explains why AI can support creative workflows, but lacks the human intent, context, and emotional judgment that shape meaningful artistic decisions. 🔗 Listen to the full episode with Varda to hear how Aiode thinks about ethical AI, product positioning, and building trust in AI music tools.
