Streaming FAQ
Why do I need apps to stream?
We use Discord for real-time streaming and two-way communication between multiple participants in a channel. Dropbox is our preferred platform for storing and sharing media content in real time, allowing you to listen to and download project revisions, as well as securely store large archives of your media in a private folder. Both Discord and Dropbox are easy to install, configure, and free to use.
Is streaming safe?
Yes, streaming is completely safe. Only you and any team members you invite can access the media and footage; we have no access to your computer or personal files. Additionally, there is no requirement to share your image or use a webcam—streaming focuses solely on audio and project content.
Isn’t the video quality poor?
The quality may vary depending on your settings, but the streaming footage and sound are provided purely for reference, so you can monitor the progress of your project. At any point, you can request a revision copy—an audio snapshot of your project delivered to Dropbox—where you can listen to or download the full-quality audio file.
How do you charge for streaming online?
We charge a standard hourly rate for streaming sessions, with a minimum charge of one hour. After that, time is rounded to the nearest 15-minute block. Billing begins at the session start, meaning you won’t be charged for time spent logging in, consulting, or setting up project media.
Do you offer in-studio service?
Unfortunately, no. Since restructuring our business post-lockdowns, we have shifted to a 100% online model, focusing on providing the best streaming service with online media delivery.
If you need media replication (CDs, vinyl, or other formats), we can mail or courier copies to you or coordinate with a local service in your country for physical media mastering.
