If you make tools, you get to watch them grow organically. You watch them in use, reconsider your design, and revise them. There's a documentary where Bob Moog compares growing peppers in his garden to designing synthesisers, and the analogy is perfect. You watch what you've grown, and you nurture it to be better. You slowly watch as a seed turns into a mature form.

Dualism started out as a mastering tool to allow for easy A/Bs between tracks. But there were obvious features missing, so it grew. Before long, it seemed obvious to add all the niceties from the channel strip of a high-end console and a monitor controller. It became a way to handle all the edge-cases of everyday audio work that would otherwise require a collection of disparate tools.

Metering started as an obvious necessity, but then it, too, grew. The PPMs grew to include new bendymeters incorporating the new ITU1770 loudness standard. The graphs expanded to include all manner of things we wanted to easily visualise - from the obvious, such as FFT analysis, through the useful, such as loudness measurement, to the more obscure, such as the bitscope for visualising usage in digital data streams. The 3D spectrograph became something of a crowning feature. A lot of time was spent just watching it, imagining how to enhance it whilst presenting just the data itself, and without ever embellishing for the sake of aesthetics.

We never compromise function for the sake of form - it's anathema to the desire to make fine tools. Rather delightfully, without having made a single compromise, we're proud to say that we've created something we find beautiful. There's a degree of risk that you can get lost in visualising your audio. It's a profound synaesthetic experience. This flower has blossomed.
