How to Use LANDR Collaboration Tools to Work Better Together
Music thrives when creative minds meet.
Collaboration is the force that powers today’s chart-topping music—and it’s only getting more important across the industry.
But even the smoothest collaborative projects need support to make them work.
That’s why we built LANDR Collaboration Tools.
No matter who you’re working with, these powerful features make it easy to share the ideas and materials that drive your creative connection.
Here’s a look at how you can use them to make your musical partnerships a success.

What can you do with LANDR Collaboration Tools?
LANDR offers the most comprehensive suite of solutions to support you however you work.
Whether your collaborators are close at hand, or thousands of miles away, sharing your work, getting feedback and communicating your ideas are essential to musical teamwork.
Here’s how LANDR makes it easier.
Projects
Projects is your online collaboration dashboard. Share files, post time-stamped comments and attach video messages to make your creative input heard.
Add as many collaborators as you need to get your whole team in on the conversation.
Attach files from your hard drive or LANDR Library, including tracks, albums or individual masters.
If you’ve been switching from app to app struggling to keep files, feedback and communication in one place, Projects will make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

Sessions
Sometimes you need to meet face-to-face to get your point across. Now you can, with pristine DAW-quality audio in LANDR Sessions.
It’s the video calling app built specifically for musicians.
When meeting up in person is inconvenient or impossible, Sessions makes working together feel as immediate as the real thing.
From mix sessions and remote production to songwriting and music teaching, never let distance get in the way of collaboration again.

2. Add files
Get started by uploading a file to your Project.
Drag and drop any file from your desktop or select an upload, master or album from your LANDR Library.
3. Invite anyone to join
Bring in your team by adding collaborations with the ‘Share’ button.
You can add them directly by entering their email address or generate a link to share elsewhere online.
Select the role for each collaborator to keep control of sensitive material when needed.
3. Leave feedback
Listen through your material and get ready to give your comments for others on the Project.
Sometimes you need to meet face-to-face to get your point across.
You can add text or video messages in exactly the right moments with time-stamped commenting.
Simply park the playhead anywhere in the file and make your notes. You’ll see a colored marker at the location where your comment will appear.
You can also leave general comments in the feed by deselecting the time-stamp checkbox.
4. Start a Session
When you need to work with your collaborators in real-time, you can launch Sessions video chat directly from a Project.

Click the ‘Start session’ icon to launch a Sessions window in your browser.
Add your display name, and invite any additional collaborators from outside your LANDR Project—those already in the Project can join your Session from right from the feed.
5. Upload your latest work and continue the conversation
Once you’ve made changes or created new files, upload them to the Project to keep developing your work with your collaborators.
