StemDesk isn't a startup's guess at what a studio needs. It's one engineer's twenty years behind the console, compiled.
Founder, The OC Recording Company · Fulks, Inc.
Avid-certified engineer and producer. Computer scientist. U.S. patent holder. Published author. Licensed California attorney. Twenty-plus years of records through an SSL console and Pro Tools Ultimate HDX — and now, all of it compiled into software.
Avid-certified audio engineer and music producer with 20+ years of records — founder of The OC Recording Company (est. 2005), an SSL and Pro Tools Ultimate HDX analog/digital studio. Credits span Grammy winners, platinum artists, Netflix, Gold Records, JBL/NBA, Power Rangers, major-publisher audiobooks, and voice work for Blizzard and the U.S. FTC.
B.A. in Computer Science (Denison University) and a U.S. patent holder. Every line of StemDesk — the separation pipeline, the deterministic mix engine, and all seventeen plugins — was built under the same roof as the records it's modeled on.
Wrote the book on it — literally: In The Studio: Audio Engineering & Music Production Techniques, an 858-page, 22-chapter textbook. StemDesk is that book's methodology turned into software.
Licensed California attorney (J.D., magna cum laude). The licensing is honest, the privacy policy is real, and your audio never leaves your machine — written by someone professionally obligated to mean it.
In The Studio: Audio Engineering & Music Production Techniques — 858 pages, 22 chapters, the full discipline from signal flow to mastering. StemDesk is this methodology turned into code: the same gain-staging, carving, glue, and delivery decisions, automated.
Get the book →Every mix that leaves a real studio follows the same discipline: gain-stage the stems, carve each one for its role, glue the buses, ride the vocal, master to target. StemDesk encodes that discipline — measured against 150+ genre profiles and rendered through real plugins, not approximations — so a producer with a stereo bounce and a deadline gets what an engineer would have built by hand. And when you want to finish it yourself, it hands you the session.
