A Brief Introduction to Aliada

The problem

Here’s something that bothers me: while every other industry moved to the cloud years ago, audio professionals are still emailing 2GB Pro Tools sessions back and forth. Or worse, trying to explain FTP to clients.

You know the drill. Multitrack sessions scattered across different versions. MIDI files that somehow always end up being the wrong revision. Mix iterations with filenames like “final_FINAL_v3_really_final_this_time.wav”. Someone on the team doesn’t have the latest stems, and you only find out during the session.

And if you’re working with someone in another timezone? Good luck coordinating who has the current version. Meanwhile you’re manually tracking metadata in a spreadsheet, hoping you got everyone’s PRO information right for the splits.

It slows you down. Sometimes it costs you money when versions get mixed up or deadlines slip.

What we’re building

Aliada is built specifically for how audio people actually work. A few things it handles:

You can store everything in one place - raw recordings, project files, bounces, the whole chain. It works with the DAWs and tools you already use. When you’re collaborating remotely, everyone can access the current session without the usual file-juggling chaos.

The system tracks metadata automatically, including splits and PRO information. And yes, it’s encrypted and has proper access controls, because that matters when you’re dealing with unreleased albums or commercial work.

We took technology that works in other industries and adapted it for audio production. Not revolutionary, just practical.

Where this goes

I want Aliada to handle the boring parts so you can focus on the work that matters.

Remote collaboration that doesn’t feel remote. Version control that happens automatically instead of through filename gymnastics. Rights and royalty tracking built into your workflow instead of bolted on later. Less time managing files, more time making things sound good.

If you’ve ever lost an hour tracking down which version of a session has the vocals you need, or had to explain to a client why they can’t email you a 4GB Logic project, this is for you.

We’re building tools that get out of your way and let you work.
