Audio Design Desk 1.9 is Videomaker’s choice for Best Software of CES 2022! Congratulations to the Audio Design Desk team!
Audio Design Desk 1.9 delivers new audio and video tools like auto-compose, MIDI triggers, instant variations and more. The new release also features integration with Stream Deck, the popular control surface from Elgato. Along with that, Audio Design Desk is introducing AI-assisted ADD Tags as well as the first lite version of Audio Design Desk.

With the release of 1.9, ADD works seamlessly with virtually every audio and video editing tool from Premiere to Final Cut Pro to Pro Tools to Logic,” says Gabriel Cowan, CEO of Audio Design Desk.
