Real-time DSP & audio engines
Audio engines, convolution, mixing and spatialisation written for the real-time thread — correct, lock-free, and fast enough for the latency budget you actually have.

What we do
The hard parts are the interesting parts.
When the audio thread has to be flawless and the latency budget is measured in microseconds — that's the work we love most. We take on the problems at the very bottom of the stack.
Plug-ins & JUCE
VST3, AU, AUv3, AAX and CLAP, inside and out. Cross-platform plug-ins, framework-level work, Apple Silicon ports, and the deep format details that make the difference.
Embedded & networked audio
Low-level embedded audio, wireless time synchronisation, clock recovery and audio distribution across devices, interfaces and networks — down to the metal.
Performance & low-latency
Profiling, vectorisation and architecture for systems that cannot drop a sample — from a single plug-in to engines routing thousands of channels in real time.
Architecture & code rescue
Re-design and clean-up of core products under time pressure — separating business logic from the real-time path so a codebase can grow without fear.
Team building & mentoring
Building the foundation, then handing it over: onboarding permanent engineering teams and mentoring developers to carry the work forward.
Track record
Trusted with the parts that have to work.
Our work runs inside products from indie developers to Fortune 100 technology companies. Much of it is under NDA — here are the names we can share.

Not a freelancer — a focused team.
Fielding is led by founder Fabian Renn-Giles and draws on a trusted network of senior specialists in DSP, real-time engineering and product design — assembled to fit each project, so you get exactly the expertise the work needs.
Your level of professionalism and incredible talent has really allowed us to react faster, than we ever expected, to the commercial opportunities ahead of us. Thanks to you, we are moving forward with amazing business opportunities that we can engage in without fear of total code disaster!
We needed a software re-design of one of our core products under immense time pressure. What Fabian pulled off in just 8 weeks was honestly more than impressive. Apart from being technically world class, he's a communication pro and seems to have zero ego — always there to help and interested in the best solution.
