The Foundry Tech Stack

The actual software, hardware, and infrastructure we use to build NBGee.

Transparency Note: The links below are affiliate links. If you use them to build your own studio, NBGee Foundry may earn a commission. We only list tools we actually use.

I. The Foundation

You can't build a skyscraper on a swamp. These are the operational tools that keep the business legal, organized, and solvent.

  • Mercury Business Banking

    This handles the Foundry's financial heartbeat—from division accounts to expense cards and royalty payouts.

  • A close-up of a blue flag with a white X-shaped cross.

    DeleteMe

    As a public figure, producer, and founder, I prefer my privacy online. DeleteMe specializes in the safe removal of personal data from the internet.

II. The Digital Forge

Where the art gets made. These are the software tools that power our publishing, music, and video divisions.

  • ElevenLabs

    The Voice Engine Used in the production of Indigo Salt. We use ElevenLabs for accessibility tools, audio drafting, and creating atmospheric vocal textures.

    Policy Note: NBGee Records uses AI for spoken word and texture only, never to replace musical composition.

  • A black and white icon of an iron with a crossed-out circle, indicating no ironing.

    CapCut Pro

    My primary tool for making music videos, social media clips with captions, Spotify Canvas loops, and NBGee Capsules.

III. The Broadcast Tower

How we get the story to the world.

  • Draft2Digital

    The engine behind NBGee Publishing. We use D2D to produce and distribute our eBooks (and soon audiobooks) to major retailers worldwide.

  • Moo Groover logo with red text on a white background

    Groover

    We use Groover to introduce our songs directly to music list curators, blogs, and radio stations, ensuring human ears actually hear the tracks.

  • OneUp

    How we manage posts and track comments across 10+ NBGee Foundry social media accounts from a single dashboard.

IV. Studio Hardware

The physical gear we use every day.
