Can you describe how SoundFlow has improved the way you work?
Honestly it's to the point now where I simply can't imagine working without SoundFlow.
Can you describe how much time you save with SoundFlow?
I use it for almost everything I'm doing involving AudioSuite processing in Dialog mixing workflows. Also for quick access to ProTools layout features (show this / hide that) while I'm running.
Tell us about a feature in SoundFlow that excites you
Recently I built a macro for delivering stems from my scoring recorder which takes all the printed stems, renames them, consolidates them as new audiofiles, then exports to a new session just for that cue. That alone saves about 10 minutes of work every time I do it and turns it into about a 30 second time during which I can drink more coffee.
Why would you recommend SoundFlow to others?
I recommend SoundFlow to everyone..... because ANY time you save doing boring stuff is time you can spend making it actually sound better. And time is the one thing you can't get back in life.
