CRATESend Ableton Live sessions — without the wait
A Ableton Live .als set plus its Project folder of Samples and Recorded audio. Zip it and you save a few percent. Crate understands the audio inside, so it makes the whole session far smaller — and proves every byte arrived perfectly.
What Crate handles in Ableton Live
- Collect-and-Save bundles every sample into the Project folder — great for portability, terrible for upload size.
- Crate shrinks the Samples and Recorded WAVs losslessly and dedupes repeated clips across the set.
- Send the whole set; the receiver rebuilds an exact copy and Crate proves it arrived perfectly.
How much smaller?
Across a corpus of real multitrack sessions, Crate restored everything bit-for-bit and came in dramatically smaller than the originals — and meaningfully smaller than the same files zipped.
Why a zipper can't do this
Zip, RAR and 7-Zip look for repeated byte patterns. A 24-bit WAV has almost none, so a general-purpose compressor barely shrinks your session. Crate instead reads the waveform, stores it in a lossless audio codec, and keeps only what's unique — the way an engineer would. See the full Zip vs RAR vs 7-Zip vs Crate comparison →
