I've been looking at ditching Dropbox as my way to send people files for review. It keeps fuckin up my audio files during playback. Samply looks awesome to me. I love how you can send people a nice player to play in the browser. You can load different versions right there so users can go back to v1 from v4 ect. Comments look nice too. Filepass also looks pretty good but is much more expensive. I like how you can check off requests though. Anyone using either one of these? Im leaning towards Samply right now. I'll use Dropbox for Archiving stuff. Ironic you posted this...My wetransfer premium just ran out and they want $275 a year...WTF wow. Thats a lot. Im paying 120 a year right now for Dropbox. |

Anybody checked out Audome? I'm trying to figure this out - sent via chat So - can you create one client and then separate deliveries (songs)? Or do you just create a client (even though it's the same client) for each different song? danielaudio I haven't done the demo yet but want to. Hoping to on a project I have coming up. This is an interesting thought though especially with returning clients. Samply, which Im currently trying out, does it by "Project" not client. Which may be a better way to think about it? As you for you to think about it not Audome. |

Got a response. Apparently you can create a client and then drop as many songs into that client folder as you need. That wasn’t intuitive. When you create a client, it has the “drop to upload” box there. Then it takes you to create the song title and messaging etc. But after you have one song - there was no drop to upload box anymore. Just the name of the one song you just did. I’ll have to play with it some more, but I really like the presentation and ability to get feedback immediately and carry on a convo there. And having an “Approved” button is kinda cool. Can bring some finality to things.

I liked the one that also had a plugin to sync the comments with your Daw so it would snap your play head to their comment in the session. That was pretty damn cool. But this one looks good and has other features. Plus $9 a month...for now anyways. |

We're in the process of redesigning it to revolve around projects with a separate but connected client list. This will make it easier and more natural to work with as you create a project to get started, upload files, add clients from your list etc. This rather large update will be live later this month along with the non-audio file delivery. |

If you get the $9/month early adopter pricing, this will be your pricing forever for that plan. That's our way of saying thanks to the first people who like what we do. |

Thanks for the kind words! The ability to send non-audio files is something we're working on at the moment, and it's not done yet. That's why we don't have anything about it on our website yet – I would love to talk more about it with you. Let me know. Generally we want to enable the engineer to upload all sorts of files (audio files, PDF, DDP etc.) The main files are still the audio, but the client can access sort of a bucket of files that the engineer uploads. Most likely at the end of the project for final delivery, but also during the project. I love this as I also do a lot of editing to a score. So being able to hand off a marked up score to each other(usually in PDF) with revisions would be super cool. DDPs as well for mastering Then just change order docs, like EDL style. Hell EDL's would be a great file type. As well as csv or spreadsheet. Ah yes! Very cool. I might have explained myself a little bad, but the non-audio files are at the moment only for delivery and not for commenting on. (Though that might be interesting to pursue in the future). Sort of like the final files, like DDP, alternative versions, instructions in PDF etc. |

Thanks! Yes, the pricing is very good for early adopters. We want to reward the people that believe and support us from the beginning. We're working on getting the non-audio files done – probably within the next month. Out of curiosity, what kind of non-audio files would you predominantly send along with the project? DDP PDF - could be all kinds of things. Scores. Info for credits. Lyric sheets. Maybe a spread sheet for certain project planning. If you could link to a Google Sheets or something like that within your project, there would at least be one repository of all the files associated with the project. Thanks! I appreciate the insight. These will definitely be supported. |

With Mixup.audio you can create folders and/or playlists. And each of those can have as many song projects as you like.
Each song project can have as many versions as you like.
I have been using this a lot for doing rough mixes with vocals and without, so a singer can practice with elements that might not have been in the original demo.
Yes Mixup has a plugin for the DAW and if there is a comment on the timeline it will snap to that location in the DAW. That's the most useful feature of the plugin. Otherwise I don't really see a great advantage, unless you are re-listening to a version done so long ago you forget details.

But being able to attach a document in a comment or with a version would be helpful. Like passing a music score back and forth which I do a lot in classical productions. And certainly different versions of ddps. Not sure the best way of integrating that. I'm some ways I'd think it should corelate to the audio version. |

How long will that be available for? Thanks for the clarification on the non-audio files. Makes a lot of sense. The early adopter price will be available for a limited number of first users, so I can't say exactly when it will end. At this point, most likely antoher month, but if there's suddenly a burst in users, then it'll go quicker. |

The start back up for 2 months it's still $9 for me? Man. That's pretty great. |

Otherwise, it would quickly become a very time-consuming administrative tracking job, which would steal time away for us to improve and develop the actual platform. |

trakworxmastering not sure if you saw this but Samply now allows other file types to be uploaded to a project to share. Including PDFs and DDPs. Can't play the DDP back but they can download it.

How are guys liking Samply?
I’m ashamed of myself for using Google drive for so long. It started as a simple way to share files, they added streaming and I never questioned the quality, esp since I’m sharing 320 mp3. And they are a trillion dollar company, what could go wrong? So of course my circle has been using it and steaming for years. Only recently realized how incredibly painfully it will butcher even a tiny size MP3.
If you use drive, compare the streaming to “open file in” and save to your phone files and play from there. You’ll hear.

Long time Bounce Boss user here. I tried Samply and it has a lot of great aspects but there were problems with notifications being delivered to clients.

Samply has been working out good for me. The normalization feature doesn’t work on all devices but they seem to be constantly updating it so we’ll see. So far I’ve been very happy with it

I've been using it for a while now. really like it. Clients don't always use it in the best way(Leaving notes/feeback in the comments of the files). They have gotten better documentation to send to clients. But I still wish they had a "client" Documents area so I could send them a small article that just explains the players features. However, other clients that are regulars like it. The version history is really nice for them. I don't use the Paywall feature due to fees, but could be useful. I tend to send them a folder with deliverables as zips and enable download once payment is received. Haven't had issues with that. Would recommend for sure. |
