Built by one person.
For everyone.
Auric exists because the tools that already existed weren’t good enough.

The LT · Easby Studios
I make music as The LT and build software as Easby Studios. Auric started as a frustration: every sample manager I tried was either too simple, too slow, or designed for a workflow that wasn’t mine.
So I built one from scratch. C++20 and JUCE 8 on macOS, SQLite FTS5 for instant search across 500k+ files, signalsmith-stretch DSP for real-time time-stretching and pitch-shifting, and an in-house similarity engine for finding related sounds.
Auric is the tool I wanted to exist. I use it every day. That’s why it keeps getting better.
Easby Studios
What we stand for
A one-person creative and engineering studio with a simple approach.
Independent
No investors, no roadmap driven by committee. Auric evolves based on real creative needs — mine and yours.
Transparent
Architecture documented openly. Issues tracked publicly on GitHub. Support answered personally.
Quality-first
Auric ships only when it’s right. Lock-free audio engine, ASan/TSan clean, zero memory leaks.
Under the hood
The stack
Proprietary engine built on trusted open-source components.
