Unmatched music production platform!
Comments: All-in-one music produciton platform that totally matches my needs and expectations. Top notch!
Pros:
It allows me to have everything under control, keep track of the various aspects of the production in a single platform, which simplifies and speeds up the work especially in a giant project like my Vivaldi Metal Project which includes hundreds of musicians from all over the world.
Cons:
Members access should be improved to assign different roles in details.
Always loved Pibox from when I started using it 3 years ago.
Comments: I recently recommended this tool to a company that makes radio jingles, as it's just so perfect for audio collaboration. I think all audio people should know about Pibox.
Pros:
Seeing the track wave form in-front of me and being able to comment directly on a section of the track. My producer will sometimes comment things as specific as 'please can you move this drum from *here* to *here*' and it's so easy to understand. With other tools, it's impossible to do this.Once again, I love the new mobile app - phenomenal job. I can now listen to my tracks in the car and respond to comments on the go, which I do all the time.I've also always loved the main chat vs. comments in files. I love having both places to discuss a project/ask a question.
Cons:
There was the occasional niggle a few years ago when they were smaller, but they fixed the issues really fast. Feature-wise, for me at the moment, I'd like to not have the blue/green circle on comments stay there until I physically click it. I'd like it to automatically disappear. I understand why the is there, however if you get 20 comments across different projects you have to go into each one to remove the circles. Not critical at all though.
Not the best solution for me
Comments: Didn’t enjoy using this at all. Feel like Dropbox or google drive would have been a better solution in this instance.
Pros:
Had to use this, as collaborators were using it already.
Cons:
Difficult to navigate through and find files. Clunky log in and project location.

The best tool for feedback on music projects.
Comments: It has tightened up workflow and helps with feedback on projects.
Pros:
I really like the audio file layout, how easy it is to leave comments on files so I know exactly what feedback relates to and can quickly make changes and upload new versions.
Cons:
Just the mobile access at the moment. It's not ideal as some features don't work as well as they do on a PC.

10/10 Would Recommend Pibox
Pros:
Pibox is very easy to use. It’s very intuitive and organized. Using Pibox has increased workflow and efficiency. I like how revision notes for audio files can be specifically placed on the audio file’s waveform. Pibox is also easy to use on a mobile device, which is important when I want to access any communication from my team quickly.
Cons:
Right now, I can’t think of anything I don’t like in Pibox. It’s working great for me.
Great platform and very useful collaboration but takes some getting used to
Pros:
Having a dedicated audio platform for feedback is very useful, and features such as the ability to quickly switch between versions of a track are excellent.
Cons:
Some of the page structures and navigation were initially not that straightforward to get my head around.
A happy freelancer
Comments: It has purely been used as a file sharing/critical feedback platform.
Pros:
It’s very useful to have time-stamped comments in my line of work (composition and production)
Cons:
To be honest I haven’t encountered any problems. I am a freelancer and use it when the companies I work for use it.
Pi box is great
Pros:
It’s very easy to share files and review the work of others and share ideas all in one space.
Cons:
It could have a channel structure like discord to increase the communication side of the app.
My review
Pros:
I like how easy it is to comment and share creations with people.
Cons:
I don't like how it can sometimes be hard to find a file or who wrote it.
Pibox Is Intuitive!
Pros:
PiBox is SO easy to use! I adapted to it even before receiving training on it. Everything is where you'd expect it to be, and everything works. That's so rare in any software!
Cons:
The mobile display is difficult to use because the menus and file-sharing features aren't optimized for mobile sizes -- or if they are, the optimization isn't displaying correctly on my iPhone browser.
Best project management app!
Pros:
Access anywhere via mobile, very versatile for personal and professional uses. Real time commenting and storing multiple versions of files in one place that is easily shareable.
Cons:
Some features that are included in highnote.fm that I wish were in Pibox are 1) more seamless switching of different versions of files 2) ability to leave a voice comment
Review from a podcaster
Comments: Im happy using pibox, it has the basic functionality I need to communicate with my editor about the next podcast episode
Pros:
The most useful feature for me is to be able to add comments on audio files
Cons:
The mobile experience, The audio comments are wrong with the timing
Great for Content Feedback and Collaboration
Comments: Useful for file sharing and collaboration.
Pros:
Easy to be specific about content feedback by highlighting certain features.
Cons:
Hard to get rid of notifications - have to click on each one individually to get rid of them.
Good
Pros:
I feel it´s easy to use and you get a nice overview with everyone´s comments
Cons:
I haven´t used it enough to say exactly what to improve.
Super outil collaboratif...mais peut mieux faire !
Pros:
Le fait de pouvoir partager des fichiers, les organiser, et faire des commentaires précis (à certains moments précis d'une musique par exemple), tout au long du processus créatif et avec l'historique des différentes versions.
Cons:
L'outil a un fort potentiel, mais n'est pas encore au standard de concurrents moins spécifiques pour les créatifs... un Pibox optimisé et 100% fiable serait parfait.
