Apple computers are almost studio ready right out of the box. There is very little required from the user in terms of optimization.
- Enable secondary click in Mouse Preferences
- Disable Natural scrolling direction in Mouse Preferences
- Set scrolling to without inertia in Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Options
- Change show spotlight from CMD+Space to Option+Space in Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts
- Disable Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible in Energy Saver preferences
These are just some of my own suggestions. (more…)

Gobbler is a backup application designed for studios. I’ve been using it for several months to backup my studio projects and love it. The Gobbler app automatically finds my project files and all related assets and uploads them to the cloud. (it uploads the projects I tell it to, not everything automatically) It runs in the background so it doesn’t interfere with working in my DAW.
It takes minimal effort from me which is exactly what I want from a backup program.

Sign up by December 7th and get 25GB FREE for a Year!

Note-Gobbler is Mac only right now, sign up and you can use your extra storage when the Windows version comes out.

3 of the top Pro Tools websites:Pro Tools for Media, ProToolerBlog, and AIR Users Blog have teamed up to form the new online community “Pro Tools Expert”

The aim of the partnership is to bring together their expertise and influence for the benefit of the Pro Tools Community in both music and post and to offer manufactures and distributors a single point of access to the huge community this will create.
The new site will launch soon, at the moment it is just a portal to the 3 partner sites. Keep an eye on that site, when it launches its going to be a HUGE asset to the Pro Tools user community.
There is also a rumor that a former AVID support guru is also involved.

Last week, myself and PetersonGoodwyn (SoundHow.com and DIYRecordingEquipment.com) shared almost 100 of our top REAPER tips.
Day 1
#REAPER tip: My custom theme is based on RADO 4 with transport moved to tophttp://trunc.it/iqn6y Get RADO: http://ow.ly/6YyYu
#REAPER tip: User themes can be further customized using the track and mixer layout options (bottom of options menu) in Reaper 4.
#REAPER tip: User themes can be further customized using the track and mixer layout options (bottom of options menu) in Reaper 4.
#REAPER tip: 1 of my most used mouse modifiers is for Media Item Dbl click. I assign cmd+opt+ctrl to “open media item in external editor”
#REAPER tip: The external editor I find most useful is iZotope RX2. Assign any program from “External Editor” tab of preferences
#REAPER tip: You can drag a plugin from the FX browser onto a media item to process just that file.
#REAPER tip: Enable the “FX” and “No FX” view option for media items for easy access to item fx inserts. (prefs>appearance>media)
#REAPER tip: got a p-pop in dialog? Split the audio before and after the pop, insert ReaEQ on the item with HPF at 150Hz. No pop!
#REAPER tip: “Overlap items and crossfade items when splitting” in the Media Item Defaults preferences is essential for fast editing.
#REAPER tip: tweak “Media item peaks edge highlight” colors in the theme editor to improve visibility for editing.
#REAPER tip: (continued) I use neon green/pink or black/white (saved as different themes) depending on what I’m editing.
#REAPER tip: The esc key will close whichever floating window is active. Way faster than the mouse.
#REAPER tip: Track Folders handles subgroup routing and organization in one click.
#REAPER tip: Use the ReaInsert VST to integrate external hardware effects just like plugins, with delay compensation.
