When they set up AudioSourceRE at the Rubicon Centre in July last year, Mr O’Connellbecame CEO and Enterprise Ireland provided €50,000 in competitive start funding. Through an Enterprise Irelandbusiness partner programme John O’Connell assisted Mr Fitzgeraldresearch the commercial potential of the software and then draw up adetailed business and investment plan for spinning the company out of Cork Institute of Technology. With commercialisation funding from Enterprise Ireland he set to work in 2015 on turning the software, which at that stage was just a bunch of scripts which only he could understand, intoa product with commercial potential. In addition to receiving credit on four albums and getting to meet the band, this experience made Mr Fitzgerald realise that this technology hadcommercial potential. Two years later he was blown away when they contacted him to say they wanted to use his software. An early version of this technology, developed by Dr Fitzgerald, over 18 years, has been used to remix six Beach Boy tracks originally recorded in mono so they could be reissued in stereo.Ī self-confessed “Beach Boys nut”, he created a stereo version of ‘GoodVibrations’ and offered it to the Beach Boys sound engineer in 2010. Although the company is less than a year old, it already has impeccable credentials in the field of sound separation technology.
