Music and studios

Send the mix out and get a decision back

A mix goes to the artist, the label and whoever is paying, and comes back approved or not. The file should survive that trip unchanged, and the answer should not require anyone to sign up.

A clearer transfer

Fast to send. Simple to receive.

No transcoding

A 24-bit, 96kHz master arrives at 24-bit and 96kHz. Nothing normalises it, converts it or adjusts loudness on the way.

Approval from people without accounts

An artist or A&R can favourite, comment on a specific version and approve it without creating anything.

Unreleased material with a shelf life

Set a password and an expiry on a transfer, so a leaked link stops working rather than living forever.

What a studio actually moves

Sessions, stems and bounces

Bounces are heavier than they look

A stereo WAV at 24-bit and 48kHz runs about 16MB a minute, so a five minute mix is roughly 80MB before you have sent a single stem.

Stem folders need their names

Twenty stems called kick, snare, bass and vox are only useful with their filenames and folders intact. Send the folder and the layout arrives as you built it.

Sessions are folders, not files

Logic, Pro Tools and Ableton projects are directory trees with audio, plugin state and references inside. Zipping them is optional here, because folder structure survives.

Labels and managers are not going to sign up

The people approving a mix are often the least technical in the chain. A browser link with no account is the difference between notes today and notes next week.

Versions need to be told apart

Mix 4 and mix 4b sound similar and are not. Keeping each delivery as its own transfer with its own comments means the approval is attached to the version it was about.

The revision loop

Most of the work is the third version, not the first

Mix one goes out, notes come back in a voice message, mix two goes out, and by mix five nobody is sure which file the artist approved. The delivery has to keep track of that, because the studio will not.

Quick answers

Before you send

The essentials, without another wall of feature cards.

Will my WAV be converted?

No. FileFast does not transcode. What you upload is what downloads.

Can I send a whole session folder?

Yes. Folder transfers keep the tree, which matters for projects that expect their own layout.

Can I tell which version was approved?

Approvals and comments attach to the transfer, so the decision stays beside the files it was about.

Can I send a reference and the mix together?

Yes. Put both in one folder and they arrive comparable, rather than in two separate messages.

Do you keep a history of what was sent?

Every transfer stays in your account history with its files and its download record.

Can I take a mix down after approval?

Yes. Delete the transfer or set an expiry, and the link stops working.

Try it with the next thing you have to send

Choose the files, share one link, and see what happens after it lands.
