MXTHE EXCHANGE IN CONTEXT
Give the handoff some context.
Contributors, editors and producers often exchange separate recordings and working sessions. Agree the episode reference and required files before passing the work on.
MX provides a route for sensitive business files between named recipients. Match access conditions to the purpose of the exchange and use the available activity record to support follow-up. Keep the underlying approval and information-handling decisions in your own process.
WHERE THE WORKFLOW HELPS
The moments that need a handoff.
Editing handoffs
Deliver stems and session notes to the appointed editor.
Episode delivery
Send the approved masters and supporting material to the publishing team.
A HANDOFF, IN PRACTICE
The right files.
The full context.
A producer is handing an episode to an editor. Group the recordings by contributor and take, and identify which material is intended for use. Include the episode reference and edit instructions. Keep publishing passwords and unrelated contributor information outside the audio package.

A USEFUL RESULT
The editor can align the recordings, identify the selected takes and understand the requested output formats.
MAKE THE FIRST EXCHANGE COUNT
Test the details.
Then repeat with confidence.
Use the example package as a starting point for a small, representative trial. Agree the success criteria with the person who will actually receive the files.
Check completeness
Selected recording takes should be easy to identify in the inventory. Open the delivery copy independently of your working folder to catch missing files or local dependencies.
Walk through access
Test with the intended recipient role and receiving environment. Confirm the access conditions, the instructions and the route for getting help.
Agree what success means
The editor can align the recordings, identify the selected takes and understand the requested output formats. Record any remaining questions before making the exchange part of routine work.
FROM PREPARATION TO RECEIPT
Give each exchange
a clear sequence.
Use Episode-Recording-Stems.zip as an example of a defined package. Replace it with the approved files and instructions for your actual task.

- 02
Prepare an approved package
Choose the required files, check their versions and remove unrelated information. Include concise instructions so the recipient knows what to do next.
- 03
Apply the access conditions
Confirm authentication, availability and any download conditions for your service. MX's existing features include named access, MFA and configurable expiry controls.
- 04
Review the exchange
Check the recorded activity and follow up through the agreed process. Keep the exchange reference with the project or client record it supports.
DEFINE THE BOUNDARY
Check the fit
before the first file.
Check sample rates, naming, session dependencies and release permissions. Keep publishing credentials separate from the audio package.
Assess the controls against a representative package and recipient. Confirm any mandatory capability, contract term or deployment requirement with the MX team before relying on it.

What to know
before you begin.
Questions about podcast and audio file transfer and the exchange workflow.
What audio details help the next person?+
State the sample rate, bit depth and any relevant timing or sync reference. If sending a working session, identify required plug-ins and provide agreed exports when the editor cannot use the original environment.
Will MX publish an episode to podcast platforms?+
This workflow covers controlled file transfer. Hosting, feed management and distribution to listening platforms remain separate publishing tasks.
How should we prepare the files?+
Collect the agreed recording takes from the people involved. Check the approved version, any required dependencies and the recipient's ability to use the package. Include only the material needed for the purpose.
What should we verify during a trial?+
Test a representative exchange from sender preparation to recipient access. Check authentication, permissions, expiry behaviour and the activity available afterwards. Include the actual file types and recipient environment you expect to use.
Does an access expiry remove downloaded copies?+
Do not assume expiry deletes a recipient's local copy. Agree post-download handling and retention responsibilities, and confirm the precise behaviour of the service configuration you plan to use.
Where can we check product details and commercial terms?+
Use the current MX product information and confirm the proposed service with the team. Review the plans and pricing alongside your actual users, workflow and deployment requirements.
