Aberrant DSP: Deviating from the Norm, Coding, and Creating Sketch Cassette

This week we're joined by Ben Schmitz and Daniel Fine. Who, along with Ben's cat Jon, make up the audio plug-in company Aberrant DSP. Aberrant's flagship product, Sketch Cassette, has been embraced by producers and mixers around the world. What started as senior project at the University of Rochester has since spiraled to a full time job only a year or so later. We have a great chat about setting project goals, designing unique and exciting plug-ins, and learning to structure and run a small business.In this episode, we'll dig in on...Departing from the accepted standardHow a senior project became a full time jobDesigning an eye catching user interfaceStudying electrical engineeringSelf-motivating as a self-employed personLearning new skills on the flyLo-Fi and cassettesFinding inspiration outside musicCreating a mission statement for yourselfJudging what task to take on by judging your energy levelAtomic HabitsLearn More About Aberrant DSP...Website: https://aberrantdsp.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aberrantdsp/📢 Our Sponsors 📢Listen to Secret Sonics!Sign Up for Complete Producer Network!⬇️ FREE 2025 PLANNING WORKSHOP ⬇️https://www.travisference.com/2025plan📺 WATCH THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@progressionspodConnect with Me:📬 Newsletter: https://www.travisference.com/subscribe📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/progressionspod🎵TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@progressionspod🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/progressionspod🌐 Website: https://www.travisference.com/🙏 Leave a Review or Rating 🙏Apple: https://www.progressionspodcast.com/appleSpotify: https://www.progressionspodcast.com/spotify"Atomic Habits" by James Clear: HereCredits:Guest: Aberrant DSP (Ben Schmitz and Daniel Fine)Host: Travis FerenceEditor: Travis FerenceTheme Music: inter.ference
