Every week I assemble a collection different apps, tools and resources that can do help make your work and maybe even your life a little bit better. (And occasionally even a lot better.)
This week’s “App of the Week” might forever change the way you look at audio and video editing.
Here is your weekly serving of the Tech Tuesday Toolbox.
