_{A big thanks to everyone who came out to API London!}

‍

It was an incredible night of networking and discussion on the latest in audio programming and music tech!

‍

Our evening kicked off with Chris Nash from pointblank Music School, who showed us his groundbreaking approach to audio software education.

‍

Then we dove into the world of JUCE with Lead Engineer Reuben Thomas, who gave us an overview their integration of MIDI 2.0 - a game changer for the next generation of audio apps and plugins!

‍

‍Christopher Mitcheltree from Neutone then wowed us with a presentation and demo of their SDK - showcasing the latest in neural audio, especially in the area of creative AI workflows with timbre transfer.

‍

Our panel on the future of music tech featured trailblazers from throughout the industry:

• ‍Elliot Greenhill (VP of Product at Spitfire Audio)
• ‍Sarah Yule (Managing Director at Orange Amplifiers)
• ‍Mo Volans (General Manager at Plugin Alliance / Brainworx Audio)
• ‍Declan McGlynn (Chief Creative Officer at Voice-Swap)

The discussion was a highlight for many, where we grappled with challenges facing the industry, including workflow challenges with our current interfaces, the evolving role of the music creator, and much more.
