Notetracks project with timestamped comments, replies and reactions on an episode rough cut

Send a link. Get feedback. No client accounts or onboarding required.

Clients open your review link and comment right on the waveform. Collaborators never pay to comment.

Audio feedback shouldn't live in five places

Most audio teams still review over email threads, Slack messages, Dropbox links and spreadsheets full of notes like “around 12:40, the second um”. Every round, someone has to match each note to the right file and the right second, and things still slip through.

Video review tools fix part of that, but they're built for picture. Audio teams need to see the waveform, hear stems together and get the notes back into Pro Tools or Audition, not Premiere.

Designed for audio, not adapted from video.

Frame.io is built around the picture: a frame-accurate video player, image markup and comment exports for video editors. Notetracks is built around the waveform, so every note sits on the sound it's about and lands back in your DAW.

Timestamped feedback on a detailed waveform
‍

Clients and teammates comment on a single moment or a whole range, in text or as a voice note, reply in threads and mark each note resolved when it's fixed.

Every revision in one project
‍

Upload each new cut or mix to the same project and switch between versions, with the notes for each one kept together. Add stems or takes and they play back in sync.

Notes that land in your DAW
‍

Export comments as markers into Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Audacity or Hindenburg, so your editor sees every note right on the timeline.

Collect timestamped notes

Clients and teammates comment on a moment or a range of the waveform, reply in threads, record voice notes and draw on the waveform.

4

Revise and compare

Add the next version to the same project, switch between versions, mark notes resolved and export the rest as markers into your DAW.

How production teams use it

Podcast client approvals

An agency sends each rough cut as a review link. The host flags a section to cut, the client leaves a voice note on the intro, and the editor imports every note into Pro Tools as markers. The next cut goes in the same project, so nobody digs through last week's emails.

Daily meditation QA

A wellness app publishing new sessions every day needs a QA pass on each one: misreads, mouth clicks, music too loud under the voice. Reviewers mark each issue on the waveform, the editor fixes and resolves it, and the board shows which sessions are ready to ship.

Music and sync revisions

A composer uploads the cue and its stems. The music supervisor's note lands on the exact range (“hit harder from 0:42”), the stems play in sync so the mix engineer can hear what changed, and each revision sits in the same project as the last.

Every show, session and mix on one board

See where every project stands. Move each episode, session or cue from To Do to In Progress to Done, keep the fix list in the project notepad, and search the timestamped transcript to find any line.

Frequently asked questions

How is Notetracks different from Frame.io?

Notetracks is designed for audio. You comment on a detailed waveform, play multiple audio tracks in sync in one project, and export comments as markers into Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Audacity or Hindenburg. Frame.io is the better fit when most of your review is picture.

Do reviewers need an account?

No. Share a review link and clients can listen and leave comments without signing up, and collaborators never pay to comment.

Can I bring the comments into my DAW?

Yes. Export comments as markers into Pro Tools, Hindenburg, Adobe Audition or Audacity, so every note lands on your timeline.

Is Notetracks only for podcasts?

No. Teams use it for podcasts, music production, voice-over, audio drama and broadcast. It handles video files too, for teams that review both.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Try any plan free for 7 days, or book a demo to see it with your own workflow.
