Best Productivity Tool for Sound Designers?
34In this video, I share what may be the best productivity tool for sound designers.
The Elgato Stream Deck is a macro pad with buttons that can be assigned to any hotkey, program, website, multi-action, mouse action, and so many other processes that could not all be listed here.
It's really a powerhouse of a tool that I have been using for the past 2-3 years and I don't know that I could ever go back to working without it. (It's really that good!)
It can easily save you hours of work every week, PLUS, because all the buttons are pre-programmed, they don't make human errors (unless of course, you program it wrong...it's really easy to program btw)
I hope you get inspired by how you could use it as part of your work.
