Sessions move between many hands
Audio and music production is a chain of hand-offs: a tracking studio sends the session to a mix engineer, the mix goes to a mastering house, stems go to a film’s re-recording mixer, and dubbing and localisation teams in several countries exchange dialogue reels and mixed stems for each language. A multitrack session at high sample rates runs to tens of gigabytes, and a feature’s stems and deliverables run to hundreds.
Consumer file-sharing tools cap the size or meter the bytes, and their browser uploads run over TCP, which slows with distance and drops at the last file of a large session folder.
Whole session folders at line rate
Boita moves data with an accelerated transfer engine over UDP with its own rate control. A transfer climbs to your line rate and holds it whatever the distance, and a session folder with hundreds of files runs as parallel sessions sized to your plan. In the desktop app, a dropped link, a closed laptop or a reboot picks up where it stopped by itself, and completed files are never re-sent.
Drag the session folder into the desktop app for macOS or Windows, or point a watch folder at a bounce or export folder so stems upload on their own as they are printed. A file is sent only once it has stopped changing, so a bounce still being written never ships, and the queue runs from the menu bar or tray with the window closed.
Links for engineers, portals for dubbing studios
Send a mix or a set of stems as a share link with an expiry, an optional password and a download limit, by email from Boita with the revision notes as the message. The engineer opens a page, sees the file list and sizes and downloads without an account; the sender dashboard shows who downloaded which revision. Revoke a link in seconds when a mix is superseded.
For localisation, give each dubbing studio an upload portal: a request link into a folder you choose. Each language’s delivery lands in its own dated inbox folder with the sender’s name attached, on a token that can write to that folder only, and both sides get an email when it completes. An engineer can leave a note on a file or the whole delivery from the share page, without a review-tool licence.
Verified, private, on a flat plan
Every file shows the checksum the server recorded on arrival, so a stem that was truncated in transit is caught before the session opens. Transfers are encrypted end to end by the engine and share pages are HTTPS only; two-factor authentication and a per-workspace audit log are on every plan. Sender-side encrypted delivery keeps an unreleased album unreadable to anyone, including Boita, until the recipient enters the passphrase.
A 50 GB multitrack session on Pro, over a 1 Gbps line, reaches the mix engineer in about fifteen minutes, plan-limited at 450 Mbps. Plans are flat monthly amounts with no per-GB fees and no charge for re-downloads, so a mastering house fetching the stems twice costs nothing; Indian studios are billed in INR with GST invoices.
