Our Studio & Tools
Not an app. A producer. Your song isn't fed through an automated pipeline. A real human producer listens, makes the calls, and does the hands-on work, with professional tools chosen for clean, reliable sound.

Why Linux
William mixes and masters on Ubuntu Studio, a Linux system set up for real-time audio. The reason is simple: low latency and no glitches. In his experience, Windows audio brings more latency and more glitches, and that gets in the way when you're listening closely. Ubuntu Studio gives him a stable, professional real-time audio system, so what you hear in the studio is what ends up on your master.
It's also home turf for the tools we rely on. Many of them were built on Linux or as open source: Ardour itself, the JACK and PipeWire audio systems that route sound between programs in real time, and Demucs for stem separation. Most AI audio research runs on Linux too, so those tools are right at home where we mix and master.
The tools
Ardour
A professional DAW (digital audio workstation), used for mixing and mastering.
Linux-native plugins
EQ, compression, effects and more, running natively on the studio system.
Stem separation
Tools such as Demucs split a song into vocals and instruments, so a vocal can be cleaned up without wrecking the rest of the mix.
Loudness and true-peak metering
Measured to the EBU R128 standard, so every master meets streaming specs instead of being guessed at by ear alone.
AI as an instrument
AI tools like Suno are used as creative instruments, the same way a synth or a drum machine is. When AI is part of a song, we always say so. See our AI disclosure.

The producer behind it
Behind every project is William Berardi, a musician and producer with decades of experience:
- Piano since age 6, trumpet since age 8.
- MIDI programmer in the late '80s and early '90s, working on an Akai console.
- Recorded on reel-to-reel tape and Alesis ADAT.
- Keyboardist in the band Anjenu, which played The Opera House in Toronto.
Today he brings that same ear to AI-era music, so your song gets real musical judgment, not a preset.

Real ears. Real hands. Honest release.
An app can process your file. A producer listens to your song. That's the difference, and it's why Audistic exists.
You get the proof. You get a copy of the real human work behind your song, so you have proof. We also keep a backup for you, just in case. Learn more →
