## Core services

- **Cross-Platform Formats** — delivery of robust plugins in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows, ensuring DAW compatibility.

- **Real-Time DSP Optimization** — efficient, allocation-free C++ DSP audio rendering loops optimized for real-time latency requirements.
- **Reproducible CI/CD Builds** — automated testing (pluginval), build packaging, and code licensing protection seamlessly integrated.

## The challenge of audio software

**Why it's hard:** real-time audio development requires deep knowledge of memory management, thread safety, and cross-platform quirks. A tiny memory allocation in the audio thread can cause crackles and dropouts, ruining the user experience.

**Why hire us:** we bring production-ready C++ and JUCE expertise immediately to your project. No learning curve. We architect stable systems from day one so you don't face a painful technical debt rescue operation down the line.

Shipped work includes Playbeat 4 for Audiomodern and WaveBalance for CodWaves — see https://atlanticaudio.dev/index.md for case studies.

## FAQ

### How long does building an audio plugin take?

Timeline depends on complexity. A focused effects processor typically takes 2–3 months; an instrument or complex multi-feature plugin runs 6–12 months. We give you a realistic scoped estimate after the first call.

### What plugin formats do you deliver?

VST3, AU, and AAX. We test on macOS and Windows across major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Reaper.

### Can you work with our existing JUCE codebase?

Yes. We regularly join projects mid-development to add features, fix bugs, or refactor. We start with a code review to assess scope and identify any structural issues upfront.

### Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, NDAs and white-label arrangements are standard for us. All engagements are confidential by default. Several of our case studies remain undisclosed for this reason.

### Do I need to know C++ to work with you?

No. You focus on the product vision and sound design. We translate that into working, production-ready code and communicate in plain language throughout.
