    I use Stream deck to open up 3rd party plugins on a chosen track and it saves me hours a day. I have 20-30 of my favorite plugins programmed via Keyboard maestro on Stream deck and now I don’t go scrolling through menus anymore.. game changer.

    Cool tips, thanks :) One suggestion though that I find more opti overall if you have a lot of profiles is to replace the bottom right key by a folder on every page/profile and this folder content is always the same with shortcuts to directly open the specific profiles/pages that you want. (Yes, it's one clic more when you just wanted the next profile, but it's a lot of clics less than if you have to cycle through 4-10+ pages)

Being a newbie since I only own one since few days, I would like to know if it's possible to open a plugin window of the Moog delay editor that is always on the same track and row of my template and close it after adjusting settings. I guess that this will require multi actions...but can't figure out how to proceed..So, would you have 3 minutes to help, this would be greatly appreciated. Warm hello from Italy and thanks again.

    I picked up the mk2 Stream Deck yesterday. I see why people have it. Definitely an easy approach to hands on macro automation. Question is creating folders for different hot key list still a thing? Example you have a folder for transport features, a folder for mixing etc. I like the profile button switcher I’m use that. Good video as always peace Sean.
