CRATESend Pro Tools sessions — without the wait
A Pro Tools .ptx session with its Audio Files folder of 24-bit interleaved WAVs, fades and bounces. 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 Pro Tools
- Pro Tools sessions are dominated by big 24-bit WAVs in the Audio Files folder — exactly what zippers can't shrink.
- Crate re-encodes them losslessly (FLAC) and dedupes duplicate takes, fades and bounced regions.
- Every restored file is checked sample-for-sample, so the engineer on the other end gets a true twin.
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 →
