Abstract

InstraPix, a UI project designed by Dan Qiao, is groundbreaking image-and-audio conversion software and a digital audio workstation (DAW). enables bidirectional conversion between images and sound, opening new creative possibilities. With powerful image processing tools, it allows users to directly use pictures as audio sources, shaping unique sonic compositions. InstraPix also supports sound presets, VST plugins, and note editing, allowing seamless integration with other instruments. This all-in-one audio workstation could mark the beginning of a new era where music can be created entirely from images. Assigning images significant importance in audio production and minimizing the middle steps, it breaks the barrier of visual and audio production.
