Is Your Success Determined Before You Start? The History of Improving Workflow for 1 Year of Distribution #211

Strategic preparation is the key to consistency.

When starting something new, it is easy to rely solely on willpower, but Kei emphasizes the importance of planned preparation. When creating a rough distribution schedule for the year, Kei utilized chat tools to incorporate methods that allowed for natural conversation even when lacking specific topics. This created an environment that allowed the project to continue regardless of fluctuating motivation levels.

Reducing editing burdens with the power of tools.

Midway through the program, Kei discusses streamlining audio editing. Previously using Adobe Audition, a switch to a tool equipped with AI features dramatically reduced work time. Notably, the automatic silence cutting function was so convenient that it shifted the focus of editing from 'looking at sound waves' to 'focusing on the content of the speech,' which left a strong impression.

Taking a step further with programming.

At the end of the episode, the latest efficiency measure is revealed: the construction of a system that automatically mixes background music using a programming environment. The effort to automate manual processes to dedicate more time to creative work is truly remarkable. There is even more in-depth discussion ahead, so please be sure to listen to the full episode.
