Snapshot

Working as a music producer or sound engineer might be a highly-rewarding activity but it also bites back if you don't have the right set of tools under your belt.

Snapshot is one of the software solutions that is meant to simplify your work by letting you include pictures of your physical devices into your virtual projects.

First thing first, this app is actually a plugin that you can integrate into various host applications whenever you're working on your projects.

A DAW, which stands for Digital Audio Workstation, is the only type of program you'll be able to integrate Snapshot's functions into. Basically, any DAW that supports VST, AAX or AU plugins is good to go.

Once you summon it through the DAW we talked about earlier, you'll notice that its interface is neatly organized and doesn't feature an awful load of unnecessary functions.

There's just a couple of buttons that you can use to import an image from your computer and adjust its zoom level, rotation controls for your pic, another button that can remove the picture and a "Notes" section.

The purpose of this app is to let you import pictures of your hardware equipment and link them directly to your recording or producing sessions without significant efforts.

Therefore you don't have to struggle to remember all those dials' and buttons' positions on the interface, you just snap a picture, send it to the plugin and you'll have it there, within your favorite project.

You can turn to this simple, yet handy plugin if you tinker a lot with your hardware audio equipment and have a difficult time remembering all those settings.
