Version history
Mix version control for bands
One song, every mix it has ever had, in chronological order. No more guessing whether the file in the chat is newer than the one in the shared drive.
BandVolt keeps every version of a song in one place - each mix you upload is labelled, dated, and listed in chronological order with its own waveform player. Stems, lyrics, and artwork live on the song too, so nobody has to ask which file is the latest and no earlier take is ever lost.

Version history step by step in the real app, in under two minutes.
How it works
Every mix you upload becomes a labelled, dated version on that song, ready to play from its own waveform. You can rename and download any version, set which mix is active, and mark a final mix when the song is done.
Stems and supporting documents live on the same song. Lyrics, key, BPM, time signature, artwork, and workflow status sit alongside the audio, so the creative context never drifts into a separate folder.
What you can do
Upload as many mix iterations as you need - rough demos through release masters - without renaming files or losing earlier takes. Attach individual stems (kick, bass, vocals, and the rest) and PDFs or chord sheets as supporting files.
Play any version at original quality: BandVolt never compresses your uploads. Move freely between the current mix and earlier versions whenever you need to revisit an idea or compare how the song has changed. When you want a local copy, Select all on Mixes, Stems, or Files and Download - or Export data from the song menu for Markdown of comments, mix summaries, activity, and Mix Health.
Why it matters
When versions live in chat threads and cloud folders, the band wastes time asking which file is current. A single song history means every member hears the same latest mix, can still pull an older take, and never loses the trail of how the track evolved - and you can take that history home whenever you want a backup on your own drive.
