On this week’s podcast episode, I sit down with Francois Barrillon, Neural DSP’s plugins product manager and product lead for their new vocal plugin Mantra.
Francois shares how he went from building guitar pedals in his spare time to leading development on one of the most innovative vocal tools available today.
We talk about Neural DSP’s expansion beyond guitars, how Mantra was designed to be an all-in-one studio solution, and what it takes to create plugins that blend analog feel with digital power.
In This Episode:
• How Francois got into music tech through analog gear
• Why Neural DSP made a vocal plugin
• Mantra’s tracking mode and low-latency design
• How Sculpt uses spectral EQ to fix vocals fast
• Quad Cortex gear and crossover into non-metal markets
• Francois’s journey from L’Oreal to Neural DSP
• Combining analog modeling with new DSP possibilities
