What is Stream Deck?

Stream Deck is a controller with programmable buttons, connected to an application that lets you launch shortcuts, macros, and actions in other programs with a single click — for example switching scenes, controlling audio, triggering effects, playlists, or app functions.

Stream Deck can become a convenient controller for Music Master — instead of clicking in the interface, you can quickly trigger music, soundboards, cinematic techniques, and other program functions using a button on the controller.
