Workflow

Split An Atom provides a variety of audio production services. These include mixing, mastering, and scoring services.

We take ergonomics and health seriously, spending long hours working in the studio. For this reason, we choose the EDGE GX-1 chair and Massive Furniture Design ML-01 Swan desk as the center of the workflow between A and B rooms.

Unraid Server

We couldn’t find a solution that we liked so we built it and partnered with Unraid for a solution that meets our needs.

From Docker containers of various file management and backup systems, to VMs running audio related applications, Unraid makes for a reliable companion in the studio.

MiSTer FPGA

Logic-level Simulation, Not Emulation

Hammy does a lot of work on composing for and with retro games consoles. Emulators don’t always offer acceptable accuracy for audio, which is why we proudly use MiSTer FPGA, allowing us to be able to create authentic scores for modern games on classic consoles.

DataPacket Logo

Web Hosting

For any digital-first business, your website is your storefront. Any downtime represents missed opportunities. You need to be able to sleep easy at night knowing that your website is available around the clock and is in capable hands.

We very proudly use and recommend DataPacket for our webhosting. DataPacket offers blazing fast server speeds to suit every budget and a dedicated customer service that goes above-and-beyond the call of duty to deliver what customers need.

Productivity

How We Stay Organized

All that gear wouldn’t mean a thing without a decent workflow and system of organization.

When working directly with clients, we utilize a project management system called ActiveCollab, allowing us to communicate, assign tasks and allow clients to see work as it’s happening.

MyLifeOrganized Logo

To organize our personal lives and derive an order to get things done, we like to use the brilliant MyLifeOrganized, which we setup to only show us actionable tasks at any given moment via task dependencies.

Different devices sync to show different workspaces and methods of filtering, so we always have the right tasks for the right tools at hand. Nothing else comes close for organizing huge lists of tasks.

Mixpost Logo

Social Media Management

There’s so many social media platforms to syndicate your content to these days—we got tired of spending so much time repeating the same work per social media platform, so we partnered with Mixpost to bring our clients a cutting-edge social media management tool as part of our social media management services. Mixpost is open source and can also be hosted on your own server.

Managing our content scheduling and approval workflow visually with Mixpost instead of in a convoluted spreadsheet is such a breath of fresh air. Using Mixpost actually makes social media feel fun again.
