Background Problem: Creating and recording music traditionally required studios or equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars, creating a high barrier to entry. Even setting up a home studio required familiarity with complex interfaces and PC software, and the limitations of location made it difficult to record inspiration immediately.

Limitations of Existing Methods: Recording with mobile phones or simple recorders has limitations in sound quality and the number of simultaneous recording tracks. Professional audio interface devices also require PC connection, making them difficult to use outdoors or on the move, and requiring multiple devices (microphone, interface, laptop) reduces portability. Additionally, having to go to a studio every time a new melody comes to mind, or having to record and synthesize each instrument part individually, disrupts the creative flow.

Portable Device with Pro-Level Performance: Pocket Studio is the world's first portable device that supports 32-bit floating-point lossless recording with 4 simultaneous tracks. This capability, previously only available with large mixers or audio interfaces, is now implemented in a palm-sized device, allowing high-quality recording of multiple instruments or vocals at once, even in the field. This allows musicians to continue studio work while on the move, layering complete songs in a single performance.

Fully Standalone System: This device has its own battery and storage, allowing it to operate without power or a PC. Microphones, instruments, headphones, etc. can be connected directly for recording & monitoring anytime, anywhere. It differentiates itself from existing mobile recording devices as a complete solution that does not rely on computers or DAW software.

Real-Time Editing and Learning Support: With built-in loop sequencer, tuner, and effects, recorded tracks can be looped, pitch-corrected, or simply mixed directly on the device. Also, when connected to the dedicated app, it provides a learning mode that analyzes the performance based on AI and provides feedback for improvement, allowing users to learn and modify while recording. This immediate interaction helps to create faster and more creative work than the existing "record -> edit on PC" flow.

Primary Purchasers: Individual music creators are the main customers. Composers, indie musicians, busking artists, and music learners who want to have "their own studio" will purchase it. Educational institutions (school music rooms, youth centers, etc.) also introduce this device to teach modern music production to students.

B2C/B2B/B2G: Mainly B2C, with a strategy to sell to musicians worldwide through crowdfunding and online direct sales. At the same time, it is also conducting B2B/B2G business by supplying educational sets to domestic and foreign schools and youth organizations, and there are already cases of introduction in some schools in Korea.

Environmental/National Restrictions: None. Music creation is a universal activity, and the language barrier is low. MOSS is preparing to expand globally by participating in the US Silicon Valley accelerator program, beyond Korea. In conjunction with the digital music sharing culture via the Internet, it is expected to grow in connection with online platforms, such as uploading music created with this device directly online.

Industry/Market Expansion Potential: There are plans to expand into a music creation platform centered around this device in the future. For example, users can share and collaborate on songs in the MOSS app, or build a creator economy where they can sell recordings directly. In addition, the ecosystem can be expanded through peripherals and software upgrades such as wireless modules for microphones and instruments, and AI automatic accompaniment generation functions. From a market perspective, it has the potential to replace part of the home recording equipment and instrument sales market, or create new demand, thereby changing the landscape of the audio equipment industry.

CES Award Context: Selected as an Honoree in the Mobile Devices & Apps category and was evaluated as "democratizing music production." At the scene, there was praise that "it's amazing that this small machine replaces the studio," and it is rumored that CES judges from music enthusiasts were deeply impressed by the function demonstration.

Technical Completeness: Stability has already been proven as it is being used in pilot programs in Korean public education. It has been evaluated by professional musicians that both sound quality and user experience are comparable to professional equipment. As of the end of 2025, it is known to be in the stage just before mass production, and the consensus is that commercial release is imminent due to the high level of product completion.

Market Expectations: Experts say that this product can change the music production environment like smartphones changed the camera market. If anyone can easily record high-quality audio, the music creation population will explode and a variety of content will be poured out. Especially in terms of education"Just as schools without laboratories have science kits, Pocket Studio will be a standard fixture in schools without music rooms."There is also this outlook.

Overestimation/Underestimation Factors: Some traditional audio industry officials point out the limitations compared to professional studios, saying, "Can this small device really do the mixing perfectly?" However, MOSS emphasizes that this device complements/expands rather than replaces professional studios, so it is avoiding excessive marketing. Rather, the public awareness is currently low compared to its innovation, so winning the Innovation Award is becoming a good promotion and a stepping stone to raise the undervalued status.
