Using AirTrax
Find the right master, artwork, or stem when you need it.
AirTrax gives you a place to keep your music files, contacts and release plans together. Name each file clearly so you can find the approved master, cover art or press photo when someone needs it.

Keep drafts separate from the files you have approved
Give each release an identifiable name, then distinguish demos, mix revisions, approved masters, artwork, and promotional files. Avoid calling every export “final.” A filename such as Artist_Track_Mix_v03.wav communicates a different purpose from Artist_Track_Master_Approved.wav.
Keep your original production sessions and a separate backup. Keeping your files together makes them easier to find, but you should have another copy of your music too. Confirm file specifications with your engineer or distributor instead of assuming a universal format.
A small asset register you can maintain
| Asset | Record with it |
|---|---|
| Approved master | Track, version, approval date, and delivery purpose |
| Stems | Track, tempo, key if relevant, and export alignment |
| Artwork | Version, dimensions requested by the destination, and usage permission |
| Press photo | Credit, permitted use, and the current share link |
| Agreement | Parties, date, and a reminder to review the signed copy |
Check access before sending a pitch
AirTrax account files are private. Adding a file link to a pitch does not give the person access to your whole account. Test the exact listening or download link you plan to send from a signed-out browser and use permissions appropriate to that material.
AirTrax does not provide audio watermarking, copyright registration, digital rights management, or a guarantee against leaks. Keep control of sensitive files and confirm permissions with the service hosting any external share link.
Can AirTrax replace my DAW?
No. Create and edit music in your DAW. Use AirTrax to organize the business and release materials around that work.
Does storing a file establish copyright ownership?
No. A storage record does not establish ownership or replace an agreement or registration process. Keep the relevant rights documentation separately.
