Bit-perfect
No recompression, ever
24/96 stays 24/96, FLAC stays lossless: files travel identically, down to the bit, with no conversion. One minute of 24-bit/96 kHz stereo weighs ≈ 33 MB — a 24-track session exceeds 400 MB per recorded minute.
File transfer built for music
Between the take and the master, your files pass from hand to hand — artist, sound engineer, mastering studio, label. TransferNow carries them bit-perfect: no recompression, pre-listening before download, and a password for tracks that haven’t come out yet.

Your day-to-day
What gets in the way today
The approval MP3 becomes the master
Keep trading compressed versions “just to listen” and the wrong version ends up at the label. Every re-encode degrades the signal.
Sessions scattered across ten links
Stems here, references there: the mastering studio rebuilds the puzzle instead of working.
Unreleased tracks that leak
A public link with no expiration and no password, passed along from person to person — and the track drops before its release date.
With TransferNow
Your workflow, in three steps
- 1
Send stems to the mix
Drag in the session folder: tracks, buses and references leave together, folders delivered in their original order — the engineer finds everything in place.
- 2
Get mixes approved
The artist pre-listens from the download page and only grabs the WAVs when needed — approval no longer scatters copies around.
- 3
Deliver masters to the label
Password, limited availability, a notification on download: the delivery is secured and tracked.
Built for you
Music & studios: the features that matter
Pre-listening
Listen before downloading
The download page allows pre-listening: the artist confirms it’s the right version before pulling down gigabytes.
Whole folders
The session leaves organized
Stems, buses, references: the folder structure is preserved on download, ready to import into the DAW.
Password
Unreleased tracks under lock
A password on the download, a controlled link lifetime, deactivation at any time — and tracking of who downloaded what.
Upload link
Receive tracks from artists
Your permanent upload link: musicians send you their takes from their browser, no account needed — with a notification for every drop.
365 days
The album available all production long
Availability configurable up to 365 days: the label comes back for the masters when pressing starts.

And against WeTransfer?

| Max size per transfer | 5 GB | 3 GB |
| Transfers per month | Unlimited | 10 |

Frequently asked questions
How do I send stems to a mastering studio?
Drag the complete stem folder into TransferNow: the folder structure is preserved and everything leaves in one link. The studio downloads without an account, and you’re notified on receipt.
Is the delivered WAV identical to my bounce?
Yes, bit-perfect: no compression, no conversion — sample rate and bit depth intact.
How do I protect a track before its release?
A password on the download (shared through a separate channel), a short availability period, link deactivation at any time and per-recipient tracking: you know exactly who retrieved the track.
Can the artist listen without downloading everything?
Yes: pre-listening is available from the download page — they approve the version, then retrieve the files if they need them.
How do I receive takes from a remote musician?
Share your permanent upload link (or send a file request): they drop off their tracks without an account, straight from the browser, and you’re notified with every drop.
