Note Taking Plugin
So very often its the simple things that contribute to the production process in such profound ways.
My very favourite 'little thing' of late is
DX Pad What does it do...? It's a note taker; a digital scribble pad, a binary notebook.... But what makes DXPad so special is that it's a plugin.
Running a simple DirectX plugin, DXpad can be 'assigned' to any project in software that supports DX. This includes virtually all DAW's and some more adventurous NLE's such as Vegas. You simply assign it to an audio channel as if it were an effect and it pops open a floating notpad window where you can scrawl notes, ideas and concepts about the project. The beauty of this plugin is that the notes you make are embedded in the project file itself, thus going everywhere it does. Its a perfect system for annotating processes, methods, formats, workflows and so on specific to the rpoject for archiving. Just open up the project, pop open the DXPad and you have project specific notes whenever you need them in the future.
So bloody simple and so totally bloody useful.
And did i mention FREE?
