Perhaps I should've just said "multimedia".

I'm new to Daylite, and diving in head first.

A quick search of the forums found a single mention of use for audio or music professionals.

I've Created basic pipelines for upcoming recordings, artists search, and label startup. I've also started creating contact lists based on individual creative and technical skillsets (keyboards, engineer, producer, label owner, promotion).

I'd be curious to hear what is working for other other Daylite users who focus on audio/music (or even art, photo, or video) whether pro or hobbyist. As much of the tutorials and sample database are geared towards sales.

Hopefully some of you will find this interesting and post what's working for you.

I'd also love to see sample databases and related video tutorial geared towards these and other specific industries and interests.

I've emailed Marketcircle about this. If you think that's a good idea, please do the same.

I have been using Daylite for a few years and am still working out the kinks of my workflow for film/video production. I would love to see some examples that others in my field have... Daylite is powerful, and I am afraid that I am not using it correctly and to its full potential.

Hi J,

I'm a freelance recording & mixing engineer in Philadelphia. I also do extra sound work: cleanup, theater sound design, and other small jobs.

I'm trying to stick to Daylite for all info. I bought it back in June and have been using it pretty heavily. Seems to work great, and it definitely takes dedication. I tend to have data spread in different places. I haven't used pipelines yet - how've you found them useful? I'll be glad to keep in touch if you want to swap ideas on what works.

take care,
Bill Moriarty

Hi Bill,
just checked your site, Oz Fritz? Really? Wow!

I've been in Daylite for a few months. I use it and Notebook to do planning and note taking. It feels like an uphill battle, but it is slowly paying off.

I've wrestled the most with Classifications.

Producer/Engineer/Musician vs. a general, catch-all "Creative-Audio-Music" category.

Pipelines help me with an at glance perspective of a project, and at the end, an additional sense of accomplishment.

My theoretical recording pipeline goes:
1. Rough Ideas
2. Bounce off others
3. Prep for collaboration
4. Upload to FTp for access
5. Get/Review Overdubs from others
6. Implement usable overdubs
7. Fine Tune Arrangement
8. Additional Overdub/FX
9. Fine Tune Mix

After writing all that I'll admit that since creating the pipeline, I'm stuck on stage one of my current project.

I have a variation for remixing as well.

I've been trying to get the tasks under control as well, as they seem to get unruly quickly.
I'm using a combo of smart lists, prioritizing and sub-tasks to get it under control. But still not there.

I've also found that the list view seems most useful for me. I changed to this after checking out the views in Contactizer Pro.

Thanks for chiming in... Hoping to get this thread going into something useful.
