About AEFX

I’m Brandon. I’ve spent 25 years behind the glass as a recording engineer. In 2020 I started teaching computers to sound like the gear I grew up on thru neural networks. AEFX is what came out of that. It’s a one-man shop in Kansas City, so the guy answering your support email is the same guy who wrote the code.

Nphase Development and Veritas

Both Nphase and Veritas work hand in hand, Veritas began as a neural network engine driving plugin emulations. The problem still remains with neural network based plugins and compute power. I spent years just trying to develope techniques to clone my own gear and build plugins and make them efficient. Never did it cross my mind in the early day’s it would eventually lead to a commercial business. I had planned a complete library of plugin releases for 2026 and that soon pivoted back into a project that began years before in Nphase. I wanted a DAW that represented my own rig, 20 channels of 500 series modules from pre’s, eq, gate, and compression into a passive summing mixer. So this is how Nphase operates, you build your console one module at a time: preamp, EQ, compressor, all swappable on every channel. Save it, name it, and it’s yours. In Track mode, everything runs at 32 to 64 sample buffers, so the singer hears the console’s character in their cans with no lag to fight. When it’s time to mix, Mix mode opens up plugin inserts, automation, and the full versions of every module. Under the hood there’s input calibration, room correction, and an analog summing engine I’m pretty proud of.

I am someone who has spent a lifetime around music and truly enjoys the process of making it. My hope is i’ve given the music community some new tools to keep your music creation and production feeling fresh and sounding alive.
