Hey everyone :waving_hand:,

As someone who works a lot with FL Studio (a popular DAW for music production), I’ve found that combining it with Make can really streamline some parts of the creative and distribution process — especially when you’re juggling content, project files, and publishing deadlines.

Here’s a quick overview of how I’m using Make to automate my music workflow around FL Studio:

:gear: My Scenario: Automating Project File Backups + Track Promotion

  1. Trigger: When I export a new WAV/MP3 from FL Studio and save it in a synced Google Drive folder
  2. Action 1: Make detects the new file and logs it in Airtable with date, version, and notes
  3. Action 2: Automatically sends me a Slack/Discord message with the project summary
  4. Optional Action: Posts a teaser on Twitter/X or Instagram (via Buffer or another tool)

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Why It Helped Me

  • No more manual tracking of file versions
  • I don’t forget to promote my new tracks
  • Saves time during busy production weeks

:headphone: If you’re using FL Studio and want to improve your workflow using automation, it’s worth exploring how Make can handle the admin side of things.

Here’s the tool I use for FL Studio:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: FL Studio Mobile & Desktop Info – I also found this helpful for comparing versions and features.

Would love to hear how others here automate creative workflows. Anyone doing something similar with Ableton, Logic, or GarageBand?
