What Are Pros Saying About HitSend?

HitSend has been developed with the help and support of some of the biggest names in the professional audio world.

Grammy winning producer and engineer Alan Branch says of HitSend;

"HitSend - Finally an all in one simple solution for my clients to access, listen and comment on mixes with studio quality streaming and secure content delivery when working on a project! I love the way the app has a customisable branded look that immediately gives a professional feel and look to a client / artist, it's straightforward to give them a secure link that they can intuitively access, leave comments on mix revisions and I can directly authorise downloads.  

No more problems caused by bit-reduced streaming audio quality or someone mistakenly getting hold of a private email master audio download link! Plus I think HitSend is revolutionary for workflow options, exporting revision markers in sync with my DAW to see at a glance in a song where someone is talking about a change or a fix rather than the classic mystery explanation "it's after the whoosh bit" or a time stamp that's completely different to your DAW project. Added to this HitSend has metadata checking, playlists, Album artwork and even previews streaming services level normalisation playback. HitSend is the studio assistant I've always wanted!"

Grammy Nominated Andy Bradfield says of HitSend;

"There are many file delivery systems, this is the first designed for music delivery and gathering feedback directly on the system. It's a great way to deliver mixes and get direct feedback from clients. Easy to setup, and easy to use. Gapless playback is a dream! I highly recommend it."
