Technology Transfer

AudioSourceRE

Dr Derry Fitzgerald’s spin-out, AudiosourceRE, partly developed at the Cork School of Music, won the CIT ICT Invention of the Year for its sound-separating technology in 2018. It has been used to remaster global hit music such as the Beach Boys’ Good Vibrations as ‘Photoshop for audio’ software. 

AudioSourceRE is the culmination of over 18 years of research into sound separation by Dr. Derry Fitzgerald (CTO). Its unique algorithms deliver what they believe to be the best quality sound source separations available to the market. The company vision is to continue to be the leading developer of high-quality de-mixing software for music production, post-production studios, DJs, producers, artists, and musicians. They strive to produce high-quality pro-audio products that are some of the best sounding, most flexible, and creative software products available.
