Built for both sides of the session

One product, two experiences—clients get trust and clarity; engineers get a CRM that respects how audio work actually ships.

For artists, labels and managers
Demand

Book vetted engineers with escrow-backed payments and lossless review.

  • Search by genre, service, and ratings from clients who completed paid work.
  • Pay upfront into Stripe escrow; funds move to the engineer when you approve delivery.
  • Stream in sync during review; hi-res downloads unlock only after approval.
For engineers and studios
Supply

Run inquiries, CRM, and deliveries in one workspace built for audio.

  • Publish Service Cards for flat-fee bookings or negotiate custom scopes in the inquiry flow.
  • Track every project stage, revision count, and payout from a single pipeline view.
  • Deliver through Talbrew’s player and policies so scope, revisions, and IP stay enforceable.

Why teams trust Talbrew

Escrow-backed payouts, on-platform delivery, and enforceable review—without invoices and threads scattered across inboxes.

Discovery marketplace

Twelve macro-genres and strict service categories keep search precise—no messy tags.

Inquiry and quotes

Custom work starts with a structured request, optional preview tracks, and gated chat after the engineer accepts.

Escrow by default

Funds stay in escrow until approval (or policy release). Stripe Connect pays engineers, net of the platform fee.

Revision limits and micro-escrow

Included revisions are capped by the engineer. Extra rounds bill through a secondary escrow when limits are exhausted.

Project roles

Owner, Editor, and Viewer roles control who can fund, upload, comment, or listen—without ad-hoc email threads.

Files and retention

Deliverables follow published retention windows; large source uploads roll off on schedule once a project is resolved.

On-platform chat and delivery

Chat and delivery history stay on Talbrew to support fair dispute review if something goes wrong.

CRM pipeline

Engineers sort active work, escrow balances, and deadlines in one ledger tied to the lifecycle states.

Review in context

Lossless versions can be played in the web player with aligned playback and directly timestamped notes on the waveform. The chat is kept in the same thread for your team, so A/B comparisons and feedback stay tied to the exact build under one discussion.

Vocal feels hot on the hook—can we tuck the lead 1 dB before the final?
You: Heard it—approving after one more dB on the hook.

Immutable chat and file events support fair dispute review if delivery ever needs staff attention.

Pay-to-download stays off until the project is accepted; engineers keep uploads, thread history, and delivery events in the workspace as proof of what shipped.
