Hey y’all. Question for all the sound designer folks out there… what tips, tricks, workflows, or plug-ins have made your life easier?

I’m getting back into sound design with a song I’m working on and honestly, I forgot how much fun this stuff is. Been experimenting with movement, space, textures, transitions, automation, all of it.

I’ve heard of plug-ins that can make sounds feel super immersive and almost “3D” around your head. I know Logic Pro has built-in spatial audio tools and binaural stuff. Curious what y’all are using these days, especially for:
• Easy automation workflows
• Creative movement/panning
• Ambient textures
• Sound transitions
• Accessible workflows if any blind producers are on here

I’m doing this project in REAPER right now and just wanna learn from everybody’s setups and experiences.

An orchestral song I have just composed: «Four murders». It's written for oboes, bassoon, horns, piano, solo cello, and cellos & double basses sections.

PS: The sound is straight away from #MuseScore
