How do I review client uploaded files or references for a new project?

Review your client's files to ensure you have everything you need to start mixing or mastering your clients song.

 

When your client books you for a service they will be prompted to upload their reference mix and all of the necessary files/stems needed to complete the project.

Note: Unless they specify that their engineer has their files, this means you, the engineer, already have everything you need to begin working.

When you get a new booking you will receive a notification on your profile, as well as an email.

3. Listen to the Song

If the client has uploaded a reference of the track you can listen to the track here, using the AB Player in the project details window. 

4. Accept or Reject

If all of the project details are to your liking, click Accept. If the project details are not to your liking and you wish to forego this project, click Reject. If you need to request a different Expected Delivery Date, you can do so here before deciding to Accept or Reject the project.

5. Review Project Files

Once you have accepted the project, the artist will be prompted to upload the stems and reference if they haven't already. 

Once these files have been uploaded, you can download these files by clicking Download All Files in the project details window. Be sure to A/B the stems with the reference mix to ensure you have all of the files needed and that the files match the reference sonically.
