From Idea to Online Sale - The Full Journey of Building an Audio Plugin - Joaquin Saavedra - ADCx Gather 2025

What does it really take to turn an audio plugin concept into a polished product that's ready to sell online?

This talk will walk you through the entire development pipeline — from idea validation and prototyping, to DSP coding, GUI design, software signing, installer generation, and online distribution.

We'll touch on key engineering, design, and publishing steps, and demystify the path from development to deployment.

Joaquin Saavedra

I’m the Co-Founder & CEO of Edge Audio Labs, where we build audio software that feels as good as it sounds.

With a background that blends real-time audio development, DSP, acoustics, and music, I’ve spent the past few years helping turn ambitious audio ideas into real, commercial-grade tools. From VST/AU/AAX plugins to AI-powered pipelines and custom DSP systems, I love solving complex problems and creating products musicians actually want to use.

Before launching EAL, I worked as a tech lead and CTO across multiple projects, taught DAW systems at ORT University, and mixed everything from theatre shows to live concerts. Whether it's writing C++ or mentoring a dev team, I care deeply about craft, clarity, and building things that truly make an impact.

As a founder, I balance the technical and business sides of the work, leading a growing team, supporting clients, and staying hands-on wherever I can.
