About

George Yohng

Hello, this is me. Below you can see some of the information. Thank you for visiting this page.

I'm a DSP lead at 4Front Technologies, which is known by making de-facto audio drivers and API for UNIX/Linux, currently being actively abused by open source advocates.

Also I'm the sampler and core developer at Vienna Symphonic Library, Since my hobby and work intersect, I took on an initiative to create professional and consumer DSP solutions for licensing them out to various companies (firmware, software, DSP, players, decks, etc).

Consumer-level sound enhancing is available as a commercial OSS/3D plugin for Winamp and Windows Media Player. There are simplier and free audio enhancing plugins available at my site, check out the products page.

I'm writing music myself, singing myself, mixing and mastering it myself. I use my own unrevealed mastering and mixing plugins, which will be released at the appropriate time somewhere in the future.

Thankfully, some of the sound modules are ready to use and available directly from the site right now.

Constantly working in IT, I also have accomplished different projects that are not directly related to the music production and DSP. Such as a guide for using MySQL and PHP together, that is available from this site. (or engine for this site)

P.S. my cell phone numbers (depending on where I am) are +375 296 256 225 and +43 650 440 39 22. Calls are welcome, but if you decide to call, beware of phone bills. Otherwise you can always keep a message in the box below.

Who receives the money?

The tiny amount of money that I receive from selling plugins on this site goes directly to me excluding taxes and transfer fees.

For Santa Claus... Do not read this, if you are not Santa Claus

Hello, Santa!

Thank you for everything... I have been asking a lot, and you have given me what I have asked for.

Please give an infinite light to me towards what I cannot express in words, but of which I'm in a need. This might be the most vague thing I have asked, but it is that I do not know how to ask better.

Thanks,
George.

How I met Santa

I was once (as usually) googling on one of my products to see, how it proceeds, and maybe to look for some attention (which is always pleasant to have). And I found an interesting site of a French guy, who was asking for my product (OSS/3D)... in a Santa wishlist. I checked his site - and guess what I did :)

I decided to create a little wishlist on my site too. I started with some ordinary wishes, then I put some more ambitious ones. It always worked. Well, the only one that didn't work out so far - is to have $1e+14 on my bank account, but I guess, with the growth of inflation and the fall of economics, everything is possible.

I didn't ask for something that apparently could be fulfilled by just others looking in my list, but somehow it always worked out. So naturally, I started to wonder, how this thing works? Who is this Santa anyway? Can we just meet and talk?

Well, I met Santa. It wasn't just the usual talk, but I got all my questions answered.

He confessed that everything in the world is tied into a perfect equation, which has solutions to all ends, and as long as something realistic is asked, and a person deserves it, it will be fulfilled.

I'm going to start someday another section on my site, writing all sorts of things, but with the thrill of expressing an opinion also comes a hard job of editing and putting things together, making it sound and look consistent. I'm however on my way...
