[ STATION / AUDIOBOOK RECORDING ]

Audiobook sessions without the booth-rental day-rate.

32-bit float capture per voice, durable on flaky home-studio connections, chapter markers and clean per-chapter exports baked in. Narrator, director, and engineer in the same session -- no install on any end.

[ THE PROBLEM ]

Today's audiobook stack is held together with spit and FedEx .

Booth-day-rate math

$1.5k/day for the booth, $400/hr for the engineer, $300+ for the director's travel. The talent records 8-12 hours of usable audio a day. Your per-finished-hour cost is a rounding error away from your title's whole audio budget.

Source Connect was built in 2007

It works -- and your narrator hates it. Install on both ends, license fees on both ends, audio dropouts that make you re-record paragraphs. Your veteran narrator has a Source Connect horror story; your new narrator can't install it without IT.

Zoom + send-me-the-files

The director takes notes on Zoom. The narrator records locally in Reaper. At end of session they Dropbox you the WAVs. Three hops, two systems, one missing take that everybody swears they exported.

[ THE ANSWER ]

What CraterSync gives the audiobook production loop.

Browser-native for the narrator

Send a link. They open it in Chrome. They record. No install, no plugin, no IT ticket. The friction was always at the talent, not at you.

32-bit float WAV, every take

Studio-tier capture floor: pcm_f32le WAV at the talent's local interface rate. The downstream engineer gets real headroom -- no normalize-then-limiter cleanup pass.

Isolated stems by default

Narrator on their own track. Director on their own. Engineer on their own. Drag straight into Pro Tools or Reaper -- no de-mixing, no bleed cleanup.

Chapter markers in-session

Tag chapter boundaries live. The exported manifest carries them through to your DAW. No transcribing a notepad-of-timecodes pass on Monday morning.

Survives the home-studio connection

Local-first capture keeps recording when the narrator's WiFi blips. Chunks upload as bandwidth recovers; nothing is dropped because of a dropped uplink.

Confidentiality for celebrity contracts

Per-session AES-256 encryption, audit log on every access, retention you control. Celebrity-narrated titles where the NDA is real -- not just SaaS-default storage.

[ THE SPECS ]

Specs your post engineer can verify in Reaper .

pcm_f32le WAV (32-bit float) capture per participant -- studio-tier audio quality on Studio + Premium
Lossless FLAC stems (24-bit) for review-and-archive workflows
Per-track masters -- no mixed bus, no shared compression
Take-by-take markers + circle-take workflow
FCP XML / AAF interchange exports for downstream conform
Up to 8 participants per session (narrator + director + engineer + observers)
Per-session AES-256 encryption + crypto-shred

[ RUN THE PILOT ]

Record a real chapter before the next booth day.

Pick Studio ($299/mo), bring your narrator and your director, run an actual hour. Drop the WAVs into Pro Tools and judge them against your current workflow -- the chapter makes the case.

[ NOT A FIT IF... ]

We're a bad fit if.

--You record everything in-house in a treated booth. You have a great workflow already; we're solving a remote problem you don't have.
--You need real-time talkback for live performance capture (theatre, live ADR). Today we're built for tracking + review, not live-monitoring sessions.
--You're producing audiobooks at a volume where you need ACX integration on the publishing side. We hand you clean WAV/FLAC masters; we don't push to the ACX dashboard.
