Automation tools

I believe this might have been mentioned in this community before, so apologies if I’m repeating a topic. I’m really curious about real‑world experiences using Notion or n8n to automate audio production workflows.

Lately, I’ve been exploring ways to go beyond what standard DAW macros or batch exports can offer. I’m particularly interested in practical setups where automation handles things like exporting and delivering stems or masters, sending files straight to clients or cloud platforms, or triggering automatic conversions, naming, and archiving after a bounce.

I’m also looking into how Notion could integrate with n8n to streamline project and revision tracking... imagine a project automatically updating its status in Notion the moment a new mix or master is uploaded.

Beyond these, I’ve seen people use automation and AI tools such as ClickUp for workflow approvals, Zapier to link DAWs or cloud storage with client delivery, and even custom Python or Node scripts for repetitive tasks like consolidating sessions or generating streaming‑ready masters. There’s also growing interest in AI‑driven sample library management such as tagging, classifying, and organizing large SFX or music collections automatically.

If anyone here has real, hands‑on experiences where these tools (or similar) have genuinely saved time or reduced repetitive work in mixing, mastering, or music production pipelines, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance!
