Our guest is Ross Totino — Product Developer, Sound Designer, and expert in audio hardware and DSP systems who worked on many iconic products we love.
In this episode, we talk about:
✅ How to build a career in hardware product development
Ross shares how he moved from technician roles into sound design and product development in Electro-Harmonix and Line 6 and how those helped me to further work with iconic brands Eventide Audio.
✅ How analog gear is modelled in the digital world
We explore DSP modeling, perception vs. accuracy, and how developers recreate character — not just circuits.
✅ Why Silicon Valley VC capitalist mentality severely impacted the economy and the music industry
Can we get away from the totally software-focused, short-term profit-seeking, fake it ’til you make it” approach?
✅ The state of the industry today
