Automator can be used for a wide range of tasks but our interest is focused on helping create a better music production workflow.


While the program exists on every computer running OS X, many users have never used the program. Thankfully the folks at Apple understand these dilemmas and created a program called Automator that can automate almost any OS X operation and streamline mundane or repetitive tasks. How many times have you started your computer to work on music in Ableton but then find yourself surfing the internet or playing with another application? If you are focused enough to stay on task you may find yourself spending a lot of time setting up simple things like opening programs, setting your system volume and getting your computer ready for music creation. At the same time we now use the computer for so many other tasks in our lives that productivity can suffer as a result. The advent of computer-based music production has created a revolution in creativity and has greatly enhanced productivity for the artist.
