    Where have these videos been the last weeks, months and years of my life!? So helpful! Thank you very much

    Ow yeeees - great list!! I loved stash, what a great use case for production! Loopback is very powerful as well!
    I am obsessed with mac apps. I can't live without Alfred and Raycast. With all the workflows/extensions you can load on these, there's soooo many workflow improvements everywhere. Having quick access to "last changed files" is lifechanging. Clipboard history? lifechanging. Keyboard macros? lifechanging 🤩
    I am particularly excited for an upcoming app called "Lazy" for quick capturing.
    I love mac a lot :) it's such an inspiring environment to be in.
    Also congrats on the sponsor n_n well deserved. Always exciting when you drop a new video, James

      Thanks for the support as usual man! I'm obsessed with Mac apps too!! I have sooo many Alfred workflows haha. I have heard a lot about Recast but I haven't had the time to give it a try, but I definitely will in the future! You are absolutely right; macOS is a really inspiring system. That's why I fully converted.

    an, thank you for this video. The rectangle thing for plugin window management is just amazing and something I wished for for ages to have quick access to my master bus processing. Fantastic suggestions overall. You've got a new subscriber.

    Thanks for recommending Rectangle! It's awesome! It saved my brain from the pain having when dealing with windows on MacOS!

    Aggregate devices allow you to combine multiple audio devices it's built into the audio midi of MacOS so not needed in loopback it'll double up things

    • @JamesZhan
      @JamesZhan  ปีที่แล้ว

      macOS's Audio MIDI Setup doesn't offer nearly as many functionality as Loopback. Sure, it can create aggregated devices, but you have a lot less controls over how the devices are routed, especially when you are working with audio devices with a lot of input and output channels.

    "File management" is always part of learning media production. Many don't like to even think about it. "Management matters" in business, as in life..

  • @steam2277
    @steam2277 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you have anymore tools? Would love a tool that can organize all the different types of components I use (etc)... for example something that supports organizing all of my alc clips (Kicks, Snares, hihats) from ableton. Just so I can start songs faster.

    Hey guys, what does everyone use for file management? Any apps? Currently looking for something similar to Atlas 2 in the same way that they organize samples, but I am looking for an app that organizes everything from my midi files, samples, past projects.

    • @JamesZhan

    Can you not do the same thing Loopback does with TotalMix from your RME?

    • @JamesZhan
      @JamesZhan  ปีที่แล้ว

      Only with limited functionality. Without Loopback, you cannot adjust the loopback levels, or have multiple audio devices running at the same time.

    You do realize that most of those things are natively available in windows since ages... folder windows, files management, context-switching , archiving , applications are closed properly

    • @JamesZhan
      @JamesZhan  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm not sure if this is a joke, but I was a Windows user for 23 years and I never heard Windows had a feature that allows you to add files to a floating shelf where you can directly upload to a cloud service, copy or move files from the shelf or batch rename files; or a native Windows app that shows you most recent files with the ability to configure which folders to track or to exclude, or a native Windows app that allows you to stash a window to the edge of the screen dynamically...the list goes on.
