Choice guide / client delivery and project management

Client delivery is one chapter of the catalog.

MixLounge focuses on client and project management for mixing engineers, including feedback, revision tracking, and payment-gated delivery. VAULT is the stronger fit when delivered work still needs to live in a broader catalog with sharing, submissions, and follow-up.

The short answer

Choose MixLounge when client project delivery and paywalled approvals are the job. Choose VAULT when delivery has to stay connected to the wider catalog.

MixLounge helps studios run client delivery. VAULT keeps the approved music organized for everything that happens after the invoice is settled.

Inside VAULT · Four product details

The song stays at the center of the work.

Four product details change what happens after a file enters the catalog.

01

Every version remains one song.

Version control

Keep client revisions, approved masters, and earlier mixes under one song record so delivery does not invent a second source of truth.

Sharing is an output, not a second workflow.

Workflow comparison

How the workflows differ.

The descriptions below compare the job each product performs. They avoid reducing different operating models to the same checkmark.

The honest edges

Where each product earns its place.

A useful comparison should make the tradeoff clearer, including the cases where VAULT is not the better choice.

Where MixLounge is stronger

MixLounge has the edge in studio client delivery.

Choose MixLounge when paywalled delivery, revision tracking, and client project management are the core job.

Where VAULT is stronger

VAULT has the edge after the delivery.

Choose VAULT when approved music still needs catalog search, private sharing, contacts, and follow-up beyond the client project.

A low-risk first step

Start with one project, not a full migration.

Bring one active project into VAULT. Keep the work small, see how the workflow feels, and expand when it earns a place in your catalog.

Buying questions

Common questions, direct answers.

VAULT can replace the catalog and post-delivery layer for teams that do not need paywalled client delivery. Keep MixLounge when invoice-gated finals and studio project tracking are essential.
