The challenge
As a platform offering thousands of livestreamed editing and mixing sessions per month, Musiversal needed a faster, more consistent way for their engineering team to prepare their work. Engineers were spending a disproportionate amount of time on tedious mix prep tasks like organizing and renaming files, splitting fake stereo and labeling tracks, which slowed down session flow and ate into the time they could spend on more valuable creative work. They wanted a tool that could streamline the process without compromising quality.
The cost before Forte
Before Forte, everything was manual. Engineers had to clean, organize and prep files one by one, which was not only time-consuming but introduced inconsistencies and errors across projects. It often took 15 to 20 minutes more per session than they would like just to get a mix-ready session going, and with their volume of sessions that added up quickly. It also meant highly skilled engineers were spending more time on admin tasks than creative problem-solving, which was neither what they wanted nor scalable.
With Forte
Forte streamlined the whole post-production workflow. With just a few clicks, engineers now prep sessions in a fraction of the time: what used to take 20+ minutes can now take under 5. Most session prep is now done through Forte, with automated workflows organizing tracks and files in a heartbeat. That has improved session efficiency, reduced human error and freed the engineering team's time and brainpower for more complex, valuable and enjoyable tasks like actual editing and mixing. The consistency Forte brings has helped maintain a higher quality standard across their audio post services, which means happier engineers and happier clients.
Our engineers were spending too much time organizing files. fMusic gave that time back and made our sessions smoother and more consistent.
