Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft and special guest Wolfgang Kundrus, who is one of the leading and most influential music software architects of the last 4 decades.&amp;nbsp; He was part of the team behind Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, as well as the game changing innovations that were brought forward during that tenure. He was also the co-founder of PreSonus Software and one of the leading developers of Studio One, and is currently the lead developer of the Opus Engine at East West. We discuss Wolfgangs early history with music and technology , and how that lead a path to joining the team at Steinberg, the concepts and innovations that he brought to Cubase ( arrange window/toolbox, etc ) that became the blueprint for the way DAW workflow environments were approached and implemented across most if not all DAW’s that followed. We cover the early days of introducing digital audio to the Cubase sequencing environment, the preliminary excursions using initially 3rd party audio hardware, then moving to the first native version on Atari Falcon, and the eventual evolution of VST ( Virtual Studio Technology ), which launched the native DAW era on Mac and Windows. We discuss the development of Nuendo, the eventual merging of the codebase with Cubase SX, and the exodus after the initial Cubase sale to Pinnacle. We also cover Wolfgang co-founding Presonus Software and being a lead developer of Studio One,&amp;nbsp; his move to East West to lead the Opus Engine Development, his recent adventures with AI coding, sharing some great insights and behind the scenes stories, and much, much more.
