How LANDR Sessions Works
With LANDR Sessions, artists can create a centralized “workspace” for each project. Members of the session can then upload tracks, provide comments, discuss ideas, and iterate on the music together.
Some key features of LANDR Sessions include:
File Sharing
Artists can easily drag and drop any project files like song drafts, stems, mixes, references, images, and more. All files are securely stored in the cloud so members can access them anytime.
Feedback Tools
Within the workspace, members can leave time-stamped comments on specific parts of tracks. Useful for critique or giving mixing notes.
Messaging
A group chat window allows real-time communication between collaborators. Chat along with the file feedback.
Version History
LANDR Sessions tracks all uploads and iterations. You can revert back to older versions or listen to the progress.
Mastering
Tracks uploaded to a session can be mastered using LANDR's AI-powered algorithms. Gets your collab ready for release.
Shareable Links
The workspace itself has a custom URL to share with collaborators. No one else can access without the link.
