No, after a session is ended, the engineer transfers the sessions files to the client’s flash drive or portable hard drive. The song is formatted in both MP3 (regular) and WAV (better quality, larger size), so the song itself may be sent through email. Then along with the song in MP3/WAV format, there are the entire sessions (ProTools) files. These files are too large for transferring through email. So, they must be transferred directly into the client’s flash drive or hard drive. They can also be transferred to a laptop. For the next session or to make changes the clients must bring their previous session (ProTools) files. The engineer can then open them and make necessary adjustments at their next studio session. We do not store or save files.
