Since I’m a Mac user, some of these app suggestions are Mac-only but in most cases, a Windows equivalent can be found, and this article can still be helpful to Windows users by getting the ideas flowing. Writing and reading about plugins, DAWs, techniques and other audio-focused can be fun but I thought it was time for a more practical article about some of these under-appreciated apps that have helped speed up my workflow and keep things organized. Recently I was thinking about how devastating it would be, and how lost I would be without one of these apps in particular so I thought it would be good to write this article and do a roundup of essential non-audio apps to help run your audio business and sustain your audio career.
However, as my business and workflow have increased to a more fast-paced nature, and now that nearly every aspect of life be it personal or business is online, it’s only natural that there are some excellent time-saving and workflow-improving apps and services out there. Years ago I didn’t really use any notable non-audio apps in my day-to-day workflow.
