Live listening and file exchange solve different collaboration needs. A reliable process combines clear versioning with feedback that identifies the exact passage and change requested.

Put it into practice

Agree session format, tempo, start position and stem naming. Keep one current approval version and preserve the originals before anyone overwrites a shared file.

Check the finished deliverable

Keep the original session and compare the final export with your approved reference. Listen from start to finish, including transitions and the tail. Check that the file you upload is the intended version, not an earlier bounce with a similar name. If the release needs a specialist format, get the delivery specification before the final export.

Your next step

Agree session format, tempo, start position and stem naming. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.

Prepare an audio release for the relevant WBBT Records workflow.
