How I connected my task manager and client data to Reaper

I am obsessed with optimizing my workflow.

So, taking advantage of my Christmas “break”, I ended up programming some amazing stuff for my Reaper setup.

Yes, Reaper. The one I like to call the “Linux” of DAWs. And I mean that in the best way possible.

No tab switching, all real time

I got tired of constantly changing windows and apps.

If you’ve visited my website or worked with me before, you know the whole client journey is fully automated, but one thing was missing: connecting my website and task manager directly to my DAW.

So now, as soon as I open a project, a window pops up with that project’s information. It syncs in real time, and I don’t have to leave the DAW at all during mastering sessions.

The screen updates automatically depending on which project I have open. Open a project, and the info updates.

Privacy and communication

I added censorship for personal data, so I can use this setup during my mentorships with zero fear of exposing client information.

From inside the DAW, I can:

• Read all project notes left by my assistant
• Update the current status of the song
• See in real time the state of the payment/invoice for the track
• See deadlines, specifications and client notes
• Open WhatsApp or email with the client and start typing
• Talk with my team in real time through comments

So yeah, you keep using your “Pro Tools”, while I keep programming my pro tools. Just kidding, I love you all, no matter the DAW you use.
