About Clack.DIGITAL

Me at the desk with a few random items (dulcimer, ocarina, DAFx book, multimeter, tin solder)

As music software gets smarter, music itself gets safer—more predictable, less immediate.

Clack.DIGITAL is my pushback against that, through the tools themselves.

I'm Stefano D'Angelo: Ph.D. in music signal processing, with over a decade helping major music industry names get their DSP right—as a freelancer and through Orastron, the company behind Clack.DIGITAL. Through this work I've seen what really goes on inside the black box. I've also co-authored over 20 scientific publications. I play bass—not as much as I'd like, but enough to be on your side.

What I build here is for musicians who treat sound as craft: those who'd rather understand what they're hearing than have it decided for them. My tools range from focused and immediate to deep and exploratory, all grounded in the same principles:

Research-grade DSP
Human-centered design
Nothing between you and your ears

No bloat. No manipulation. No shortcuts that shortcut you.
