Case Study: Chad Wahlbrink achieves meticulous, time-coded feedback on music with Hightail

How Chad Wahlbrink gets meticulous feedback on music

Hightail partnered with Cincinnati-based audio engineer Chad Wahlbrink, who mixes and designs sound for independent musicians and filmmakers while working remotely. His main challenge was collecting precise, timecoded feedback from artists and directors — using Google Docs or lyric references made it slow and error-prone, complicating edits and remote collaboration.

Hightail’s waveform and video commenting lets collaborators click exactly where they want to leave notes and automatically attaches timecodes, so feedback is clearer and edits are faster. For Chad, that meant smoother mix revisions, accurate foley placement in video work, and most recent projects completed more efficiently using Hightail’s tools.
