Musicians and audio producers research technique, manage session logistics, track release deadlines, and monitor music industry news in the browser. Firefox extensions for music production work:
Studio and release task tracking
Daily Planner — today's production tasks: "Finish vocal comps for Track 3," "Send master stems to mixing engineer," "Post new single to distributor."
Production research tabs per project
Tab Manager — save tab sets per album, single, or session.
An EP production might need: reference tracks, plugin docs, mix notes, distributor submission, and PR outreach — all open during the same session. Tab Manager saves the context.
Music industry news
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds from music industry sources: Music Business Worldwide, Billboard charts RSS, Pitchfork RSS, Resident Advisor, Sound On Sound.
Voice memos for ideas
Voice Notes — capture a melodic idea, production concept, or lyric fragment immediately. Stays local; no cloud upload. For rough ideas before they're committed to a DAW.
Stock tracker for music business context
Stock Market Dashboard — if you watch publicly-traded companies in the music industry (Spotify, Live Nation, Warner Music, Universal), ambient market context in the new tab is useful.
Release consistency habit tracking
Habit Tracker — monthly check-ins: "practiced or created daily," "posted one piece of content," "connected with one industry contact."
All are part of a series I built — see the full series.
