Reference Copies Become Masters
A compressed reference sent “just to listen” can get mistaken for the final master somewhere down the chain. Every re-export can introduce another layer of quality loss before anyone catches it.
Send tracks from artist to engineer, engineer to mastering studio, or studio to label and client. WAV, FLAC, and AIFF files arrive without recompression or re-encoding.
What arrives is the same file that was sent, not a lower-quality, re-encoded copy.
A compressed reference sent “just to listen” can get mistaken for the final master somewhere down the chain. Every re-export can introduce another layer of quality loss before anyone catches it.
Stems arrive through one link, references through another, and session files somewhere else entirely. Before mixing or mastering can begin, you’re left chasing links and rebuilding what should have been one clean delivery.
A public link without a password or expiry can travel far beyond the intended recipient. For an unreleased track, one careless forward can mean the song is out before your planned release date.
File transfer should move at the speed of your session, keeping collaborators moving instead of slowing down the work.
Send stems or a full session folder to your mixing or mastering engineer. The folder structure stays intact, so everything arrives organized and ready to work with.
Send the mix for approval so the artist or client can confirm the right version before downloading the full file. Once approved, they can retrieve the WAVs at full quality.
Send the finished master to the label or client with password protection on paid plans. A download notification confirms when the file has been retrieved, so there’s no need to follow up.
Built around the file handoffs that matter, from DAW session folders and remote takes to final masters and label deliveries. Need to send audio files? LargeFileTransfer lets you transfer WAV, FLAC, AIFF, stems, and other audio files without compression or re-encoding.
