Organized Audio: Mastering File Management & Delivery in the Studio

Let’s be honest—file management isn’t glamorous, but it can be the difference between a smooth project and a full-blown data disaster.

In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody tackle the often-overlooked (and frequently dreaded) topic of file management and delivery workflows in audio production. Whether you’re working solo in a home studio or collaborating with clients around the world, getting your digital house in order is crucial.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Best practices for naming audio files and sessions so they stay organized and searchable
  • How to set up an efficient folder structure to avoid chaos later
  • Why metadata tagging can save your future self a world of trouble
  • The pros and cons of delivery methods like Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, FTP, and even good ol’ physical media
  • How to choose the right delivery method based on project scale, client expectations, and security
  • Plus, Chris and Jody share real-world file fails (yes, it’s happened to all of us), some tips for client communication, and—naturally—a bit of nonsense and studio banter to keep it entertaining.

    Don't forget to check out this week’s Friday Finds for gear or tools that might just make your file-wrangling life easier.

    Whether you're a freelancer, studio assistant, or full-time audio pro, this episode will help you clean up your workflow, impress your clients, and sleep better knowing you won’t lose that perfect take.
