Skywalker Sound

For how long have you been using SoundFlow?

More than 2 years

Can you share some projects that you've used SoundFlow on?

West Side Story (Steven Spielberg), Turning Red (Pixar), Ad Astra, Mindhunter (David Fincher)

Can you describe how SoundFlow has improved the way you work?

SoundFlow has completely revolutionized my workflow.

Using 3 stream decks, an Amazon Fire, an X-Keys, surfaces on my 2nd monitor, and numerous commands triggered from my keyboard I have completely customized my work environment to be optimized for the specific work I do, personalized for my workflow.

It easily saves me hours of time each day and allows me to focus on creativity, not technology. I'm able to put out higher quality work and, as an added bonus, I never have pain from repetitive motion any more!

It's an absolutely indispensable tool, not just for Pro Tools, but for the whole Mac ecosystem.

Can you describe how much time you save with SoundFlow?

Easily 30% off of my work day.

Tell us about a feature in SoundFlow that excites you

I love templates for streamlining repetitive scripts, and I am very excited about Kitch's beautifully designed new buttons/decks :)

Why would you recommend SoundFlow to others?

If you work in Pro Tools for a living the added efficiency, the easy access to many things in Pro Tools that are hard to address (opening the track output window for example), the ability to string together sequences of commands, all make it well worth the cost of the subscription.

Pro Tools - Deck - Batch Fades
Pro Tools - Deck - Batch Fades
by Steve Bissinger
Beta !!! This 4 x 8 deck controls parameters in the Batch Fade window. I have mine set to avtivate when the Batch Fades window is open. The left hand buttons are set to some common presets. Beware, when making your own, that some fade shapes are not available when Equal Power is selected. The last template option "Select Fade Length" will selected the length field you expect to type in. The right hand buttons cycle through fade options.
