Audiority Overview
Audiority is a boutique audio software company founded and managed by Luca Capozzi, who develops nearly everything himself—from coding to GUI design and sound design (audiority.com, musicradar.com).
Origins & Philosophy
- Began in 2003 with Progsounds, an online forum for progressive metal keyboardists.
- In 2010, Capozzi left his regular job to focus entirely on plugin and virtual instrument development.
What They Offer
- Audio plugins emulating classic vintage hardware (pedals, amps, echoes, modulation, etc.) and original creative tools.
- Sound design services, providing custom sounds and programming for hardware and software manufacturers.
Recognition
Artists such as Alaistar King, Anders Trentemøller, and Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) have used Audiority’s sounds.
